[QUOTE="trtnoobie, post: 74944, member: 15909"] Last week I saw another urologist (found via this board) to get a second opinion. After talking with him, I've decided to forego the clomid option. Basically, since there's no real reason for my low T (no trauma or history of AAS use), a restart isn't an option. And if I'm choosing between clomid for life or injections for life, I prefer the injections. I may end up switching to this urologist, but haven't decided yet. Yesterday was my weekly visit to the first urologist and I wanted to address two things: First, the improvements from T injections on Wednesday are gone by Monday afternoon. I had him do a blood draw before my injection so I could see what my real trough is, and then he agreed to up the dosage from 100mg once per week to 60mg twice per week (Wednesday morning and Sunday morning). I've asked him to make sure this blood work uses the sensitive test for estradiol as well. Second, if I'm sticking with injections I want HCG to preserve fertility (at least for the next ~5 years). He agreed to prescribe HCG but said that since there is no real dosing consensus I would need to play around with the schedule and dosage to find what makes me feel best. His only guidance was that I should stick to less than 1000 IU per week, probably break it into multiple injections, and that we'll do blood work again in 2 months to be sure things look okay. Based on what I've read on this board and elsewhere, I think I'll go for 250-500 IU twice per week (the day before my T shots). I'm thinking I'll start with 250IU and see how I feel, ramping up if necessary. Does this dosing seem good? How will I know I need to increase? [/QUOTE]
