I am 33 years old and have a testosterone level of 394 ng/dL. Estradiol 57 pg/mL. I am 6’1” and 229 pounds (pretty high bodyfat percentage).
I live in New Zealand and a lot of doctors here have got no idea on how to treat this properly. My doctor initially didn't want to test my Testosterone for 2 years, as I wasn't over 40...
Found a new doctor who prescribed me Clomid 25mg every second day, but the 394 is as heigh as it got. And I took that stuff for a while… I stopped taking it around 10 December though as I wasn’t getting any results and have not had any treatment since.
I have moved town and found a new doctor who is open to prescribing me HCG and testosterone. But he has got no experience with HCG. For me that is important though as I want to stay fertile and I read on the blog about the 500 IU HCG every 2 days?
Overall I feel really bad. I have been suffering from anxiety, general lack of energy and depression since 2008 and I think a lot of this has to do with hormonal imbalances. For example my Cortisol is 25 ug/dl. I am also overweight and despite going to the gym regularly, eating low carb diet and not drinking, I can’t lose weight. I have been unable to take up a lot of work opportunities because of my anxiety.
After all the research I have done I would like to get the following protocol:
500 IU HCG every second day - 1,500 IU per week
50mg testosterone every second day - 150 mg per week
.5mg Arimidex twice per week
I have not hat my DHEA tested, but I will, because my gut is telling me that it will be low due to high Cortisol. So maybe some DHEA (50mg) per day?
I saw Nigel's video where he combined the testosterone and HCG into 2 weekly injections. If you were to inject 500 IU HCG every 2 days, could you then also spread the testosterone injections to 3 times per week, so you can get everything done on the same days? Say Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday and so forth? I don't like needles but injections seem to be the way to go and if I take HCG, might as well inject the testosterone?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I am seeing my doctor next week and he asked me to do some research into all this, so any guidance would be great.
Thanks
Alex
