How to Get a Script for TRT-- For Men Over 30

I tested @ 302 and my Doc made no bones about prescribing me TRT in the gel form. My insurance subsequently refused to pay for it. Doc suggested a Compounding pharmacy where I pay out of pocket $50/mo. Belly fat has dropped dramatically. I'm 41 BTW

I've said this before, but I've done every method of T ingestion there is.....
...just inject. It's not that hard. Gel sucks.....doesn't give you enough.

I've considered finding a source for gel just to keep it on hand for situations when I might be traveling to a country like Japan where carrying any type of gear or needles will almost certainly get you rejected at the border. Even then, as long as I was only staying 7-10 days, it would almost be easier to just pin a weeks worth, take a commensurate AI dose, and ride out the wave. Downside is it would spike your levels a bit, but if they are already fairly stable and you have a strict protocol, bringing them back to normal should only be a matter of resuming that protocol when you return home. You might have to deal with a week or so of ups and downs but they shouldn't be unbearable and even then they shouldn't linger for more than 10 days.

I've never had a problem carrying test and needles to Japan.
About the gel, you're overpaying. For the same $50, you can get you a vial of test which will last most people 13 weeks. Get off the androgel and just pick up generic watson/paddok test cyp.

How do you carry? I haven't been in almost 10 years and it seems like all I read now is case after case of dudes getting hassled at the airport for showing up without a script and a pre-screened acceptance letter from a Japanese clinic.
Might be harder for me since I don't have a script, but if there's a particular way you carry that gets you through, I'd love to hear it. I am planning to go later this year and do a week each in Tokyo and Osaka.

I don't advise trying to go though customs anywhere without a script.
I've been to over 50 countries and my methods are always the same. I put the needles in my checked bag and carry the testosterone on the plane in my bookbag. I don't try to hide it. If they ask me what it is, it's my medication and the script is attached to the testosterone box that the vial is in.

Ok, so it's a script thing.
I've never had any issues traveling anywhere else without a script since I started which, thus far, has only been Thailand, Singapore, domestically within China, back home to the US. I usually just chuck my 10ml vial into my toiletries bag. What I do with my pins depends on whether I'm carrying a checked bag or not.

For those visiting the doc, to get insurance to pay it may be necessary to mention other health issues you are having - reduction of libido, ED, brain fog, sudden increased weight in breasts, belly, inability to focus.
Also, be sure to get your estrogen tested, especially if you are over 40. Mine shot up in the last year. At the same time, I have been having episodes of brain fog and inabilty to concentrate.
Absolutely. Also, for those considering TRT, watch this video. Location is not as important unless you are Australian, but the main points are spot on.

I'm interested... does the sex drive stuff taper off over time or are you extremely horny for as long as you are running it?

Has anyone got it in Australia?
The requirements for a subsidised prescription are high, but how hard is it to get a non-pbs prescription?

This sounds a little too easy. The urologist that I saw told me that since testosterone was a controlled substance, if I went on TRT I'd have to sign a contract with them that I would not be doing TRT at any other clinic at the same time. Now I see you say you can just get it with a prescription?
Also isn't that since you go on TRT you'll have to do it for the rest of your life?

A better question to ask is "What EXACTLY do I want out of life and what EXACTLY am I doing to get EXACTLY that? If you can answer that question truthfully you will be the most Alpha motherfucker you will ever need to be. (PapayaTapper)

It's very straight forward, you go to a urologist, you take your blood test, you get a script for 6 months, you then fill the script at pharmacy "wallgreens, costco, riteaid", you call in to the doctor after six months and they write you another script, You redo and revisit the urologist once a year. So your out of pocket cost is the urologist $99, once a year and the cost of your testosterone which is about $60 a vial which will last you 10 weeks per vial assuming you're doing 200mg a week and using 200/ml test. Very cheap, very easy, no insurance needed. You only call the doc at the 6 months mark because urologist can only write controlled substance scripts for 6 months at a time.
As far as your urologist, most doctors are complete idiots. They care about covering their asses while masquerading it as doing what's best for you. You're a prime example walking around at 35 with a test levels below 400. I would not trust doctors or the insurance company to tell you what's best for you and your longevity. Do your research with the thousands of medical and sports journals freely available at your local library by using their intranet. As far as the contract, I don't know but if you are on TRT from a urologist, why would you be going to another clinic anwyay. And yes, TRT is for life. I don't recommend cycles.

@linux
As someone who just got their first testosterone reading done this week at the age 31 and scored a lowly 314, I am extremely appreciative of this thread.
Thanks!

I am very surprised that people take test at 30, as I just turned 30 a few months back and literally feel the same as 5-7 years ago. Wtf?
