[QUOTE="madman, post: 255534, member: 13851"] Welcome. Congratulations on the weight loss and taking the steps to clean up your diet and start exercising. Getting your T levels healthy will improve your overall health. The clinic you are dealing with is out to lunch! Starting T dose is too high and there is no need to throw in hCG let alone an AI off the hop. Gets even more ridiculous throwing in the clomid. I would tread lightly when it comes to the use of AI! You are missing one of the most critical blood markers on your lab's FT. Even then with a shitty TT 325 ng/dL and SHBG 24 nmol/L, your FT would be dismal. Although TT is important to know FT is what truly matters as it is the active unbound fraction of testosterone responsible for the positive effects. Always best to start on a T-only protocol as we want to see how your body reacts to testosterone and where said protocol (dose T/injection frequency) will have your trough TT, FT, estradiol, SHBG, and other important blood markers such as RBCs, hemoglobin and hematocrit. The hCG can be added in once you get settled in. The main advantage of adding in the hCG is to help maintain fertility and minimize/prevent testicular atrophy. When it comes to your T dose it is more sensible to start low and go slow. 100mg T/week split into twice-weekly injections (every 3.5 days). You need to tread lightly here as you have sleep apnea and although you are treating it through the use of a CPAP your RBCs, hemoglobin, and hematocrit are still on the higher end and it is given that increasing your TT/FT level will drive up such markers further. No need to fear injections. Using an LDS insulin syringe (fixed needle) to inject shallow IM or strictly sub-q is virtually pain-free. Most are using 27-31G various needle lengths and you can draw/inject with the same needle to boot!
