[QUOTE="davidrn, post: 51586, member: 13164"] Before you talk with your PCP, I would suggest a 2 stage process first. First read everything about starting TRT, and when it is correct to start, and when it might be another issue. After you have a better than basic knowledge of TRT, then order online labs, (you will have learned what to order from learning the basics). With the labs completed, then you should use your new TRT knowledge and this forum's guys to determine where you are low (or high), and then what would be the next step. Bringing the complaints, and the labs to your MD, you can see where he thinks you should go next. If he is sending you 180 degrees from where you believed was the next step, you can either encourage a better direction, (with the MD assist) or find an MD who will go where you want. Your knowledge is the first step, if you don't understand the basics , well,you have read about guys here who get started on 200mg of T Cyp every 2 weeks, with no plan to test for E2. You want to understand why SQ is a safe choice, and IM is not mandatory, also why HCG and AI's may be important as part of your total HRT plan. [/QUOTE]
