[QUOTE="CoastWatcher, post: 82602, member: 2624"] Speaking for myself, and not for Vince, but addressing your question, I've never adjusted my protocol without significant discussion with my doctor. Over two years ago, I wasn't pleased, I was still clearing testosterone too quickly and my estradiol was slowly rising. In a pretty wide-ranging discussion we agreed to adopt a daily protocol in an effort to overcome both challenges. I'd read of them, but she raised the possibility. It was the best decision we made (and we made it jointly). A while later I was sick of HCG and told her so. She was dubious, but we discontinued it. I only resumed it when - after testicular atrophy became significant - she asked me to add it back. I wanted to give DHEA a try, we went back and forth on that for a few visits until I realized she was right - I felt wonderful and my labs weren't suggesting a real problem. Leave it alone. I raise all these examples to point out how we, the patient, ought to be full partners in our care. If something isn't right - or could be better - raise it with your doctor and have a wide-ranging discussion. [/QUOTE]
