Alternate ways to get Test Cyp?

I've been injecting Test Cyp for over 20 years. Now I have a problem where my PCP doesn't want to prescribe Test Cyp since I'm using Defy, and their script is higher than my PCP prescription (PCP prescribed .2ml twice a week, Defy wants .3ml twice a week). Through insurance, I get a month's supply for $15. Through Defy, it's $129.

Is there an alternate way to get Test without a script? ReliableRX doesn't carry it, but surely I can get it somewhere that's more affordable.

My only other option is to let my PCP know that Defy will not be managing my testosterone, but their goal is to keep me on the low end of the normal range, when I know from experience I do better on the upper end of the range.

Any suggestions?
 
3ml twice a week). Through insurance, I get a month's supply for $15. Through Defy, it's $129.
Not following the math above.

10 ml / 0.6 ml per week is 16.66667 weeks.

16.6667 weeks / 4.33 weeks per month is 3.85 months (almost 4 months).

Through Defy a 10 ml (200 mg/ml vial of Test Cyp via Empower) s roughly $130.

$130 / 3.85 months is $33.50 per month.

Now to compare with insurance...you pay $15 copay for 10 ml vial or $15 per month?

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
