[QUOTE="DragonBits, post: 106061, member: 18023"] Technically, is it a reboot protocol if the OP has never been on TRT? I would expect that if something like HCG or clomid worked for him, then he would have to be on those drugs for a life time. His natural production of testos isn't high enough for his goal, and once he stopped HCG/Clomid his testos would return to current baseline. BTW: It appears the OP knows why his cholesterol ldl is so high, he should volunteer what is causing that. Since his cholesterol / ldl is quite high, I would suggest doing a NMR LipoProfile® test, and an inflammation panel that includes some of the following. ------------------------------------------------------- C-Reactive Protein (high sensitivity) The CRP blood test measures your level of systemic inflammation and is used to evaluate your risk of developing coronary artery disease. Myeloperoxidase (MPO) MPO is a vascular specific marker that measures your body's response to damage in your artery walls and the subsequent formation of vulnerable plaque which is prone to rupture. Homocysteine Elevated blood levels of homocysteine may directly damage the delicate endothelial cells that line the inside of arteries and result in vascular inflammation, blood clot formation, heart attack, and stroke. Fibrinogen Fibrinogen plays a role in the development of atherosclerotic plaque. It can also cause acute blood clot formation that may block a coronary artery (causing a heart attack) or a cerebral artery (causing an ischemic stroke). ---------------------------------------------------------------- If he expects that his cholesterol to return to more normal levels, why not take a statin in the short term then discontinue ? Though I think for some of us we tend to over test have too many blood tests, the costs do start to add up. Insurance won't cover all these tests. But one would expect his HS c-reactive protein test to be high. [/QUOTE]
