How long after starting T did your doctors do your labwork? I've been trying to get through to my doctor because she said 3 months and then when they gave me the callback to find out where to fax my prescription they said 3 to 6 so I'm wondering if I should just trust that and wait for a callback (I left a message a while back) or if I should be searching for another doc. Maybe they lost the message so I'll try calling again soon. I want to get it done because I feel like my dosage isn't quite right but I also don't want to badger the office...

3 to 6 is about right, your body needs time to adjust to the changes, you certainly can't make a fair assessment after only 2 months. However, if something is noticably wrong, then you do need to have it checked out asap. My first assessment is at the 4 month mark.

I got mine at 2 months. The clinic I'm now going to says they'll test me in 6 months.

3, 6, 1yr, then yearly. They're not gonna call you and make you schedule though, you gotta remember that they said x amount of time, and schedule.

every 6 months for a year, and then once a year. which is fine with me because it is really expensive
