Vince,
You're 100% correct.
I even hired someone in the profession for diet, training, and HRT coaching.
Diet and training have been great. But never really stuck with a protocol long enough to get a solid reading and let him adjust. All he wanted me to do was stick with a protocol for a month. I didn't. I self-diagnosed myself and made impulsive, irrational decisions.
BUT... "It's never good or bad only better or worse,"
and things will get better for me.
But as you can see even the advice I received here was conflicting regarding HCG.
Regardless, I just need to stick with a protocol and get labs.
