Well, most primary doctors are at odds with this treatment. Just like most are at odds with our cigar use. The HRT is monitored via blood tests. Normally, one test a year is sufficient as they administer these drugs for a living and know what typical elevations will be based on the program they give you. That being said, you are always welcome to have additional tests done throughout the year.

Keep in mind that none of this is covered by insurance, but I may be able to sneak in the blood test for Test values with my physical, but my primary doctor is an arse.

Moses, your insurance won't cover any of the prescription costs even if you are diagnosed with low test (male menopause)?

No, I do not think they do. I should ask them, but according the clinic, insurance is generally not accepted, and I do not think the clinic has a contract with BCBS for instance. I do not think the local pharmacy has the drugs they perscribe either. If I go with it, I would certainly investigate.
