    Labs coming up. Have to stop HCG

    Good points on free T vs total. I wish my Dr. understood such nuances in dosing protocol. Unfortunately, military personnel have very little control over whom they see for treatment. If you're on base, there's usually one doc per specialty. Off base, such as Tricare remote (like I am), there...

    Labs coming up. Have to stop HCG

    Yes, but I'm quite certain a dosage reduction of test would follow. He's uncomfortable allowing my TT to get any higher than 600.

There's no way, even if I purchased and used it through a private service, that it could be detected through routine urinalysis. The only way you could be found...

    Protocol Advice

    I asked about HCG and he said he doesn't feel it is ever necessary. He's an arrogant old curmudgeon by all accounts. He also stated he wasn't interested in follow up blood tests because he treats symptoms not levels. I need a new doc. Here's my predicament. My service doesn't allow me to be on...

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
