Wondering how HRT works?

bgriff · 04-14-2008, 05:55 PM

I mean I have done it on my own My last cycle But using Syno and Fina and UG stuff. But can people tell me how to get legid scripts? I mean How do you find a doc that is open to the Idea? I doubt that my current doc would give anything but the gel. And do any of you get legit scripts for dosses that are worth a crap or do you still have to buy more than prescribed? Also is there a way to get GH or IGF thrown in with the HRT?

If this thread is out of line dont hesitate to delete it
And if you dont want to post it on here you can PM me or I can give you my emaill addy.

I appreciate the help bros

Start by going to your doctor and asking for a blood test. Tell him/her you are tired, have a low sex drive, feel generally listless and out of sorts. Make sure your system is clean when you go in...you WANT your test level to be low when they test you.

You just have to be persistant,and find the right doc that understands.If your levels are low,they will speak for themselves on your bloodwork results.
My Test Free level was 1.08 and Total Test was 21.65,an absolute candidate
for HRT.My advice would be get your Baseline panel done,it can be a bit pricey without insurance,but it will tell you everything that is going on inside including prostrate,kidney & liver fuctions,etc.Once you have that,you have a roadmap to chart your future progress.Good Luck!

I'd go down this road but I'm scared the Dr is going to laugh at me if I tell him I think my test levels are low.

just get the bloodwork after a cycle lol. it will speak for itself

Basically that's it. You just find a doctor who does HRT in your area, get a blood test, and you're in. Or you can use one of the clinics from Florida that are still in business. I had one call me the other day and tell me test/gh was about $300 month to maintain. You have to pay for all the blood work and get a physical from any walk in clinic in your area.

Spot on,Ulter.Once you have your panel,research your local area,and weed out the the conservative old school docs,and find the right one.If people can get plastic surgury and botox,there is no reason why it's any different.

bgriff · 04-14-2008, 08:49 PM

Shoot me a PM of the ones in FL if you dont mind or I can give you my email addy if you would rather... What insurances will cover it or help pay for it. Im shopping for new insurance right now because my current insurance sux

Ulter · 04-14-2008, 09:56 PM

Most of them don't anymore. I think United and BC are the only big ones left and they have limits as to what's covered that you need to check into.

I would but this is a family board.

Sounds like a strange answer but geography is part of the solution, in Southern California

MD’s are advertising and trying to attract patients to anti-aging clinics and HRT clinics, just like cosmetic clinics. It appears very competitive and is, but the prices are not lowered as a result.

I frankly don’t see the need, even though my GP does HRT, aside from blood work, I can do my HRT safely without the involvement of some MD

One small note, I have never seen or heard of any HRT clinic or MD that prescribes an anti-e or any PCT, I believe they are ignorant to the potential problems.

Very true.Anti aging and wellness is a big business,when there's money in someone's hand,there are plenty of takers.
The truth is,HRT ( Bio identical replacement therapy) needs to stay.It has it's place in medicine,but has always been improperly addressed.Unfortunatly,things aren't going to change for quite some time.
