What to Expect on TRT
An honest timeline, from your first consult through the first few months.
Week 1: consult and labs
Book the $100 virtual consult. Your provider reviews symptoms, history, and goals, and orders labs. You get drawn at a lab near you.
Week 2: your protocol
Results come back, your provider walks you through them on video, and if treatment is appropriate you choose a delivery method together: oral, sublingual, injectable, or topical. Medication ships from a partner compounding pharmacy. [Confirm typical days from consult to first dose.]
The first weeks
Responses vary by person and by method. Many men notice changes in energy, mood, and drive before changes in body composition, which take longer and depend heavily on training, sleep, and nutrition. Your provider sets expectations based on your labs and your plan, not a marketing timeline.
Ongoing
Follow-up labs on a defined schedule, dose adjustments as needed, and messaging through the secure patient portal. If something isn't working, we change it. If treatment isn't the right call, we say so.
Side effects and safety
With any intervention, the benefits should always outweigh the risks. That's why Forge monitors markers beyond testosterone and why we'll sometimes recommend no pharmacologic treatment at all. Individual results vary.
