[QUOTE="madman, post: 261212, member: 13851"] Most would not be willing to pay out of pocket due to the absurd cost for testing FT using the most accurate assays (ED/UF) as they are not covered by insurance. For the time being you are going to have to use/rely upon the cFTV. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.excelmale.com/forum/threads/testosterone-therapy-in-canada.27300/[/URL] There is a lot of fear mongering when it comes to the use of 5-ARIs. Can they cause sexual/mental sides most definitely. It is not a given that you will experience such. Some may experience negative short/long-term sides when using 5ARIs. No one can say for sure if you will be one of the unlucky ones. Personally I would not use 5-ARIs or AIs but that is me though! Learn as much as you can and do what you feel is best for you. We need to tread lightly when trying to manipulate testosterone metabolites estradiol and DHT as they are needed in healthy amounts and are critical to our overall health. Estradiol and DHT are needed in healthy amounts to experience the full spectrum of testosterones beneficial effects on mood, energy, libido, erectile function, cardiovascular health, brain, bones, tendons, immune system, body composition, and recovery.
