[QUOTE="galaxy, post: 110432, member: 17916"] Hi All - I've posted about my story before but as a brief recap early 30s diagnosed secondary hypo. Was prescribed 4 pumps 1.62% Androgel and 500 IU 2x/week of HCG Pregnyl. Below are my pre and post lab results. Any thoughts on labs/protocol? Also I didn't give any blood in between these labs so a bit surprising to see the ferritin drop so much. Thoughts? The first couple weeks I felt amazing, however recently while I still feel better I notice that I'm stillrundown by the end of the day. I know there's a bit of a honeymoon with TRT, but I'm guessing the drop off is primarily do to the fact that my endogenous T hadn't shut down yet and therefore I was up at higher levels. In general I know the community is a proponent of injections over topicals, and I'm planning on making the move over after my next doctors visit.
