Hey guys,
I literally just came back from the endo because I trust this forum more than my actual dr. After testing my testosterone 3 times, doing an MRI, and doing several other blood tests, the dr prescribed me 25mg of test a week for the first 4 weeks, followed by 50mg of test for 4 weeks, and then possibly increasing it up to 100mg a week based on how my labs are. She is allowing me to self inject once her nurse shows me how to do it properly. She is also giving me the option of running HCG whilst on testosterone.
A few questions I have:
- She said that I do not need to be on an AI while I am on TRT. She said she doesn't expect me to have any side effects, but if I do then she *might* put me on some sort of an AI. Is this normal, or should I push on having an AI on hand?
- She doesn't want to try Clomid. She said that it is not a long term solution and she doesn't believe it will work on my condition. I don't want to be on Clomid anyway, but is this something I should consider?
- I think that slowly ramping up to 100ml is a waste of time, and I won't see any benefit with starting off at 25ml. I tried insisting that a higher dose be prescribed, but she said that she wants to slowly ramp it up to avoid any irregularities.
- Should I run HCG with my trt? Or should I wait two years before I want to start a family and then start it? The dr recommended the latter
- Is there anything else I should do/ask her before I take my first shot next week?
Thanks for the help!

Still trying to get things dialed in.
