Hey Neil – great article, thank you for writing.

I’m just commenting to note that the costs for injectable T mentioned might be a little on the high side. I’m on 100mg/2 weeks, which is a medium-low dose, and I paid less than $60 for an 10 month supply – and that included syringes, two types of needles (a thicker one for drawing up the T, and a thinner one for injecting), and disinfecting wipes. I order my testosterone from Strohecker’s Pharmacy in Portland, which can be found at http://www.stroheckersrx.com/ .

I had wanted to support a local, independent pharmacy that’s a few blocks from my house, but they were going to charge about $110 for just the T, no accouterments included, and that was just plain economically unfeasible. The Strohecker’s folks are friendly and responsive, though, so ordering from them has been a good experience.

This was such a helpful post, Neil. My partner is just about to go on T and we've been trying to figure out the cheapest method. Thanks for doing the research and putting it all in one place.
