Disobeying the Doc

My doc prescribed me 180mg test cyp weekly every 3.5 days. Also 1000iu of HCG weekly e3.5 days. I did that for about 2.5 months, got my bloodwork done and did my consult. We agreed to keep it the same cuz everything looked good. We scheduled a follow up 6 months later. About 1-2 weeks later I started not feeling as good and I dropped my dosage to 140mg weekly and started injecting eod. HCG I kept the dosage at 1000iu weekly but also inject that eod with my test in the same shot. I have gotten my own bloodwork done and it looks even better than it did with the e3.5 day injections and I also feel better.

Will my doc be pissed that I changed the protocol without a consultation? Does anyone have any experience with this situation? I am thinking of how I am going to break the news.
 
If your numbers look good why divulge that you changed, I mean, if you think your Dr is going to reject you over it, maybe you don't. If you have a generous Dr that gives you room to work with things Id certainly tell them. In a manner of speaking me experimenting is good for him and other guys he treats.
 
This change in protocol is a good tool to get a feel for your doctors open mindedness, if you doctor responds negatively, he/she isn't the right doctor for you.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
