Looks like I have to go back to injections

Hi,
My most recent numbers on Androgel 1.62%, 4 pumps with 150iu's of HCG daily were:
DHT: 70 (ref. 30-85)
Testosterone, total: 697 (ref. 348-1197)
Testosterone, free: 16.7 (ref. 8.7-25.1)
Estrodial, sensitive: 27 (ref. 3-70)

I'm changing docs and going back to my old one. He is prescribing 200mg's a week of Watson Test C. He's letting me self inject so I won't be using all 200mg's

What should I inject?

I was thinking of:
60mg's on Tuesday Morning and 60mg's on Friday evening for a total of 120mg's a week.
350iu's of hCG on Mon, Wed, and Fri for a total of 1050iu's a week

Thanks
 
Why am I switching docs? The current one isn't happy with my numbers. He said it's too high and I should be in the 300's. I'm tired of arguing or explaining my position so I'm gonna go back to my old one. He's easier to deal with.

I was with the old doc for 6 months and I was shooting 60mg's twice a week but I never got my levels tested.

How long do I take the Androgel after my first shot? I see him next Tuesday and I plan on shooting next Friday. Do I front load the first shot?

Keep taking your transdermal up the first day of you injection then stop the transdermal from that point forward.

Easy peasy.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

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.
