I have symptoms of low T and visited a male clinic that wants me to get on on 140mg of test once a week along with an AI and Clomid. After what I read here I'm going to push back on the Clomid and AI and only accept the test. I'm also going to ask for twice a week injections. My questions are as follows</p><p></p><p>1. Do you see anything on my pre treatment labs I should look into before starting TRT?</p><p></p><p>2. When I asked about HCG they said they can provide me info of where to get it. Not sure what that means, but not worried about it now as I will not be having more kids.</p><p></p><p>A little about me. I'm a 5'9 36 year old male that weighted about 218 at the start of this year currently 183lbs . I started lifting 3 times a week. 10k + steps a day and eating mainly whole foods. I cut out all the sugary drinks and only drink water at least a gallon a day. The thought of injections is scaring me, but I hope to get use to it and then just start injecting myself along with the HCG.</p><p></p><p>Symptoms:</p><p>Low Libido</p><p>Sleeping issues (cant sleep through the night)</p><p>ED</p><p>Starting to stale and can gain muscle</p><p></p><p>Dr recently prescribes Cialis and it has helped tremendously the ED which I think naturally improved the libido.

[QUOTE="Xinfamousxi, post: 255507, member: 45540"] Hi Everyone, I'm glad I found this site and have read a bunch. I have symptoms of low T and visited a male clinic that wants me to get on on 140mg of test once a week along with an AI and Clomid. After what I read here I'm going to push back on the Clomid and AI and only accept the test. I'm also going to ask for twice a week injections. My questions are as follows 1. Do you see anything on my pre treatment labs I should look into before starting TRT? 2. When I asked about HCG they said they can provide me info of where to get it. Not sure what that means, but not worried about it now as I will not be having more kids. A little about me. I'm a 5'9 36 year old male that weighted about 218 at the start of this year currently 183lbs . I started lifting 3 times a week. 10k + steps a day and eating mainly whole foods. I cut out all the sugary drinks and only drink water at least a gallon a day. The thought of injections is scaring me, but I hope to get use to it and then just start injecting myself along with the HCG. Symptoms: Low Libido Sleeping issues (cant sleep through the night) ED Starting to stale and can gain muscle Dr recently prescribes Cialis and it has helped tremendously the ED which I think naturally improved the libido. I also do use a CPAP for the last 4 years. Just had a sleep study and they lowered the pressure from 14 to 7 due to the weight loss.
