[QUOTE="S1W, post: 162494, member: 16947"] A traditional MD might prescribe. Often GPs want nothing to do with it, but sometimes endos will, especially if you approach them as you have here, saying "I've had several low readings and I just want to try it and see if it makes a difference for me". In fact, that is how I started TRT - with a local endo. A second option people might not consider are naturopaths. That was where I went after I realized my endo was not very knowledgeable in regards to TRT. A local naturopath wrote me an rx for compounded cream, which was very affordable - something like $55 for 30ml 200mg/ml from a local compounding pharmacy. Overall, I liked working with him a lot more than the endo, but he got all hung up on numbers (to boot, the wrong one) and was on a "I want everyone in the 500s TT" program. So I switched to Defy. A third option that some pursue is to open their scope of choices nationwide and people actually travel across the country to see a doc of their choice in person. Note that even with Defy, there is an initial upfront cost (don't remember how much) and they are also not immune to starting people on high doses and sometimes adding in HCG and AI right out of the gates. So just grab the reins and tell whoever you're working with, "No I don't want to start with that, and I'd like to start on as low a T dose as reasonably possible". As for self-injecting - don't worry about that. There are youtube videos and tons of images online showing exactly how to do it. You'll be nervous the first few times but it becomes easy pretty fast. If you get to that point, come back and ask us for tips etc and you'll get all the advice you need. That said, I still think compounded cream is the best place to start for several reasons. [/QUOTE]
