Quick thought on the insurance question. Have your preferred implant doc do a predetermination of benefits. The insurance company will decide if they agree that the treatment is right for your health needs. Predeterminations are done before you get care, so you will know early if it is covered by yo...

I scheduled an implant with Dr Hakky in Nov (I wanted to get it done after my kids birthdays). Is there a couple guys that would be willing to chat on the phone with me? Although I scheduled the implant I am still on the fence. My wife is very against it and that is weighing on me. I was just hoping...

Yes I live & work in a town just south of Nashville. I have anthem bcbs through my job. It’s a National provider, so it has contracts with most doctors across the country. One of my children has a medical condition and we see a specialist at UCSF in Ca. The specialist in ca is covered by my tn a...

Dr. Pollard is who I used to go to, as he was local to the Nashville area. However thank god I switched to Dr. Hakky in GA. Worth the drive.

Hmmmm…. I have about 10 years of test results from quest diagnostics and Kaiser, it doesn’t look like I’ve ever been checked for it. Has anyone else on testosterone been checked for those levels?

I am guessing I am primary, however I’m not sure. I had a MRI (with ink) done of my pituitary gland and it came back normal. (Horrible experience. The ink made me sick. I digress). To my knowledge, no other tests were done. I believe that my balls have always been on the smaller side. I remember usi...

I will start by saying that I agree with your new doctor that you are most likely taking too much testosterone. 200mg a week is a very high weekly dose. The regular dose for most men is 80-100mg per week of injectable T. Thus the amount of T in your system could be contributing negatively to your e...

I know exactly how you feel. I’m 35, pills rarely work and I have a horrible fear of needles. But I’m also scared to get surgery and my wife is against it (she is a nurse in icu and whenever i talk about it, she brings up stories of her patients with implant issues). Oddly I’m surprised I don’t hear...

I’m 35. I did a long post in young members recently about my situation, but I was hoping to get some input on stopping injecting testosterone. I was diagnosed with low T in 2014 (between 150 and 200, typically around 170). This was discovered bc I went to a urologist due to ED. I originally started ...

Thank you for replying. It is so frustrating and I feel so alone. It does help to know other men are going through the same thing. That is one of the hardest parts of this issue, you can’t talk to anyone about it and I feel so alone. Especially when I hear my friends talk about their sex lives with ...
