Happened to me when I was over 200mgs a week. Pushing it down to 150ish a week and I’m fine. Although, I just got labs done today so I’ll know when those results get posted. I’m kind of nervous since I get mine through my PCP and he can just decide out of the blue to not fill it if he seems it necessary…I’ll follow up when I get my lab results.
58 a week, holyshit dude… WTF…that is way too much. Are you doing your own injections or driving to their clinic? I can get 10ml bottle of pharmacy compounded test for 120 bucks that will last me two months… and I am definitely overpaying at that!
That’s price includes bloodwork every 3 months. It’s a trt clinic that I go to weekly for injections. I don’t know if doing them myself is an option
I do blood work twice a year and my insurance covers most of it, think my copay is 40.. I do however pay the rest of my TRT out of pocket. I don’t want the headache of trying to get insurance to pay for it, nor do I want them in the drivers seat. You are getting hosed brother, that is ****ing extortion! Where are you located? I would just try a good telmed/mens wellness clinic, concierge doc or local urologist that treats men with TRT. This driving in for a weekly injection is going to get old real fast and it’s not sustainable longterm.
No…don’t take aspirin, even baby aspirin daily… if Bayer was trying to bring aspirin to market today, they wouldn’t even get FDA approval.

Yeah I was too and I typically don’t listen to docs, but more than one in the past year or two advised that I stop. Have also read articles from several sources saying the same. FWIW I have had horrible acid reflux, ulcer issues and coughed up blood last year. I have ceased all aspirin use and other meds like it and also quit all booze, beer etc.. I am right as rain now and rarely even have to take an anti-acid.
I don’t know about your local options, but I can recommend Defy and Elevate as Telmeds for TRT. I am sure a few other fellas may chime in. As far as local you could try a urologist or an endocrinologist, though probably try a urologist first, they seem more willing to prescribe than other doctors.

Read the article, it also discusses aspirin's blood thinning properties.
Daily aspirin no longer recommended to prevent heart disease
Aspirin may be only ‘minimally beneficial’ and comes with an increased risk of digestive tract bleeding, says UCLA Health cardiologist Dr. Boback Ziaeianwww.uclahealth.org
If you want to take a good supplement that is natural to remove plaques, thin blood etc… Read up on Nattokinaise, its an effective fibrinolytic/anticoagulant. Will remove plaque from arteries and thin the blood some.
Yeah I also bruised like a banana on aspirin… its just no bueno. I was never told to take it, just took as a “precaution” because that’s what we have heard for years and typical of most American families, we do have some heart disease in the family too.
