[QUOTE="bambam92, post: 122567, member: 22723"] Update: so I have consulted a physician that specializes in HRT. He ordered labs for total T, free T, estradiol male sensitive, FSH and LH. Will have results tomorrow and will post here. In the meantime he gave me 12000 IU of HCG and has me taking 300 units daily. I just shoot subcutaneous into my stomach with insulin needle. He said if my LH and FSH comes back in range that I have primary hypogonad. And I will need to start testosterone. He sold me on the HCG ($$$200 damn) cause even if I end up being primary I want to run HCG to keep my balls from shutting down... HCG acts as analog to LH I learned. So will keep the Leydig cells kicking... also not into idea of scrotum tightening up and balls atrophying. Here is the interesting part... I asked what his treatment will be dosage wise if my LH and FSH comes back in range and I do indeed have primary and he said: I will start you on Test Cyprionate 200 mg per week divided into 2 injections. He said I can drop the HCG to 2-3 x a week @ 300 units if this is the route we go as opposed to now I am doing 300 units HCG daily. He said he thinks I will feel best at a test range of 1000-1200 and that is range he will want me at. He already told me to go donate blood as depending on the labs that come tomorrow I will be starting next week. Guy is very transparent and says too many doctors are scared and looking at numbers only. Says he treats the symptoms. And he has guys my age (25) coming in with test in the 500’s-600’s and he still will give them TRT if they’re indeed primary. He says some people feel fine with total test at 500.. he says others feel like shit. He told me he personally doesn’t let his own levels dip below 1000 or he feels terrible. He is on TRT and open about it. Wow, what a refreshing breeze to find an MD who is open to TRT like this guy.. and seems to know his shit*. This guy is fucking jacked and 47... so assuming his T levels are at least 1000. Lol. I’m located in south Florida btw so shit is different here. So will get the bloods tomorrow and will post. But wow if my LH and FSH come back in range and T is still lowish he is starting me up on the following: - Testosterone cypionate 200mg per week. Dosing is 2 shots per week...100mg per shot. - HCG 300 units 3x a week - he will give me thirty 1 mg anastrazole to have on deck Incase my E goes high. But says not to take until 6 week blood work to see where I’m at. I’m a med student but must admit I was totally ignorant to TRT and still kind of am...but it sounds like this guy is leaving door open to me jumping on TRT under his care.
