I had a follow up with my doctor yesterday. Went very well and he was happy with my numbers. He agreed to add hcg to my protocol. He wanted to start me at a higher dose, but we comprised at 1,000iu per week. I will be doing 34mg test cyp 3x per week and 330iu hcg 3x a week on alternating days, taking Sundays off. I inject first thing in the morning, and it only takes a few minutes so I don't see it as a hassle or bothersome. It was me that suggested this schedule. I asked him if I started having high E2 symptoms, had blood drawn and forwarded him the results, would he write a script for an AI. He agreed without hesitation. I have my next appointment December 15th.

Best part, wall greens, which is attached to his office, took the Goodrx.com discount for my testastorone saving me $30.00. Also the hCG from the doctors compounding pharmacy was $68.00 , which is cheaper than my insurance or Goodrx.com. good day all around.......except when I lost my wedding ring while coaching my son's soccer practice last night.
 
......... and respects you as a partner in your treatment.............

I'm very happy about this part. I was nervous because I had my own blood drawn prior to going. I wasn't sure if he would be ok or think I was trying to be the doctor. We had very good conversation and it seems like he appreciates the time I've put in to researching this. I figured he'd have something negative regarding the Goodrx thing, but he jumped right on board with that too.
 
Jk78, you're very fortunate to have a good doctor "it sucks that you lost your wedding ring, hope you find it".

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

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.
