So, I posted earlier about how to convince my parents to let me take testosterone, and now it seems as if it may be in my grasp! YAY!!! :icon_boogy: ;D I haven't exactly gotten a yes, but it wasn't a no, so there is some progress being made. The deal is that we'd discuss it when I've got the money to pay for it myself. So, I was wondering... how much does it all cost?

I dont think we can post prices here to be honest. But I know the private price. So if you want to know then PM me.

I'm assuming you do not have health/drug insurance, so take my advice at face value.
My magic 8-ball of drug information says that a years worth of T will cost $233. (in the US)
This number includes the cost of syringes, alcohol prep pads, and a sharps container, but not postage.
Hope that helps

It runs me about $30 for a 10 week supply, so average $3 a week.

I use the gel and it's covered by insurance. $20 copay for a month. My endo thought it ran ~$150/mo without insurance.

Okay guess I was wrong.. I swear I got in trouble last time!
Injections privately are £30.00 approx $55.00 for a 3 month supply and for the gel privately is £45.00 per month so approx $79.00.
However my doctors cover it so for a month it is £7.10!

As long as you're not discussing dose, price is ok :)
