Dave,

I'm not Bruce, but it costs me a little less than a 100 bucks a

bottle. The bottle has 10ml; the strength is 200mg/ml. So you get 10

200mg doses. Right now I am getting one of those every 10 days, so it

averages out to 100 bucks for 100 days. Or a dollar a day, I suppose.

Needles and syrnges are negligible - like 3 bucks for 10 or something

like that.

So you are looking at about 30 bucks a month on the schedule I

describe above (200mg every 10 days). Many people get by with less

than that (say 100mg every 7 days), so it could be even cheaper.

Sounds like a significant cost savings over what you are paying now.

One other thing I should say is that some insurances won't cover

injectables, so it is possible that they might cover testim but not

injections. But with it costing you 200 a month I doubt your

insurance is covering it anyway.

the US, what would be the best compound?

100 cc /week.

They will try to give you 200 cc every two weeks. It seems to be the

standard. But many complain about the two week roller coaster. It gave

me an idea of what a woman's periods must be like. I had a distinct

cycle of symptoms.
