I just got my letter for T and have to get my blood tests done on the 13th. I was curious on how long it takes to get your results back? I am so anxious to start but my therapist said I might not start until October because I still have to wait for my results then go in and get my first shot. So my question is, how long did it take for your doctor to get back to you with your results and how far away was your first T shot appointment from your blood test appointment?
My doc didn't require a blood test.

You ought to ask your doctor, his/her receptionist or nurse about that, there's way too many variables for anyone's advice here to be accurate, honestly. If your doctor sends your samples out to a lab it could take anywhere from 1-3 weeks. My doctor's practice is in a hospital complex so they do the tests there, so it takes less than a week. Just as important though, is how busy your doctor's practice is. My doctor has a 4-6 week wait for appointments even for current patients, so even though my pre-T blood screen results were back a week later, she scheduled me on April 5 for my first shot at the end of the blood test appointment, which was March 3.
