I'm data driven, especially with something that is imperfect and semi-unpredictable such as this.I love it, more info never hurts.

All good man. None of this is covered by insurance given its premium and elective nature.Thanks for doing this log!
May I asked approx price for the pellet insertion? I know all insurances are different but interested to get an idea of what the price was if you don’t mind sharing
4.5 weeks in between implants? Seems like a short interval. I thought it was 2-4 months or something?
4.5 weeks would not be worth it, sorry about that.4.5 weeks in between implants? Seems like a short interval. I thought it was 2-4 months or something?
That will make you tender for sure, I have learned to take it easy after getting it done.For my first run the dr is planning for 6 months but doing bloods at 4 to where the levels are and go from there. Said it could be anywhere from 2-4 times per year as determined by bloods. I think he started me with 11 200mg pellets and all i can say is my ass was sore for a few days afterwards
Pellets, Round 2 this coming Friday.
I believe this will put me at about 4.5 weeks between dosing, moving from 2G to 2.3G on this one.
I did state the wife is on them as well, albeit at a much smaller dose.Ive been looking for a new HRT doctor since my current doc isn't offering it anymore. I found a doctor and he told me he does the pellets. Im not 100% convinced yet and still looking and researching these pellet implants. I told the doc what I was doing, and I got the synthetic testosterone and Arimidex is not good for the liver speech. He said he could get my levels at 1200+ where they are at now, but with pellets. I would have to see him once every 4-6 months and the procedure is $750. I might look into this maybe in the future, but I need more data and research. I am going to go ahead and get a full blood panel, since he offered it, and only charging me $250 for it, just to see where Im at now. But regardless, ill be following this thread and your progress. You mentioned your wife is on them too, or someone did? I didnt know females could get the same pellets, or are they different?

The results for her have been fantastic, with no negative side effects that either of us have noticed. She sleeps better, is calmer, more focused for work items, and has an insane sex drive for awhile after getting them. Five stars, highly recommend.
I just had my second 'treatment' done last week, it was kinda tough since I wasn't numbed all the way and could feel a lot of what was going on. Another round of that and I'll be moving back to pinning, I can tell you that. If you want to run your own TRT by running a mini-blast all year long pellets are not for you. If you don't want to pin on a regular basis and still have all the positive effects of regulated testosterone, pellets are a great option.
On a side note, I have run 1G of test in the past and never had issues with acne on my chest or back, but I do now. Not sure what that's all about.
I can appreciate that, it's not for everyone and I may not be on it for a great deal of time. We will see.Thanks for keeping the log. This is not something I’d be interested in doing. I’ll stick with using slin pins for my trt.
Fun update today.
Yesterday I got sick and tired of the insertion area hurting so much so I decided to remove the bandage to investigate. I ended up pulling one of the pellets out of my hip and that didn't feel good at all my friends. I sent snake some pics with a penny for reference, but the pellets are much larger than you think they would be.
Suffice to say, Cole is back to pinning in the next few months when this begins to wear down.
I think the pellets are fine for HRT, just not something I'm personally willing to continue doing.
Yep, I had 12 pellets inserted last time, now down to 11 lolYeah not just a little grain of rice.
Cole, tell them how many they put in you!
