Worth is to try to get "free" TRT through my insurance?

[initialize]

So my doc knows I'm taking TRT but I currently pay out of pocket. I could potentially get it prescribed "for free" but he wants me to drop the testosterone for a month while taking Clomid to see if I'm truly low test.

Now obviously I wouldn't want to do that protocol-- I'd prefer just getting off test for the least amount of time possible to get my test levels as low as possible (ChatGPT says if I stop test, I could get "below reference range" levels in about 2-4 week?) but of course I wouldn't want to feel like absolutely crap for those few weeks.

So what should I do? I know a few people have replaced test with low dose MENT -- would that work for a few weeks to feel "normal" while being low test?

You'll survive with no test for 4 weeks before feeling any real "sides" of no extrogenous test injections. Remember it's only temporarily. After drawing blood, start again

I have IBX and 4 1ml 200ml vials with 2 anastrozole pills ends up costing like $35 (a month supply).

Let’s just say 10ml 2000mg is $50 for arguement’s sake. 2.5¢/mg, makes 800mg a month’s supply cost $20, And $2.50 for a couple arimidex pills.

So UGL TRT costs me $22.50/month, while pharma costs $35. If bloodwork is paid for by insurance it tilts things a little.

Really the value for me is legitimacy. I have a script and I can take gear on airplanes, get pulled over with it, etc. That makes it ‘worth it’. I’m not rich but the $ isn’t really a factor.

To be able to legally travel with prescription T is definitely worth it. Also, free pharma test? No brainer.

This is the way.

What about stopping the medium ester tests (Test C/E) so they gradually clear out of your system whilst propping yourself up with a short ester (Test Prop) with a few days half life with every day or e2d pinning? A week before lab tests stop that to let it clear out of your blood.

Free test? Sign me up. Oh wait, I already did. I pulled this off about a month ago with my doc. Was running e 300/wk, stopped for two weeks and tested ~120 ng/dL. Poof, doc writes script. It's only a small amount but it's free.

Protip: to avoid feeling shitty or losing progress in the gym grab some TNE and use it pwo. Run another compound even. I ran DHB, var and TNE pwo and didn't miss a beat in the gym and never suffered any E2 crash. My dick worked just fine too. Don't listen to the negative nellies. They didn't do it right. @dinfaralt
