[QUOTE="CSI007, post: 35164, member: 13062"] I always get my blood drawn between 7:30am and 9am The lab I get the draw from is always packed so even if I get there early I have to wait. But all my testing has been done fasting and early in the morning. If I draw blood on Thursday of next week it will be about 24 hours after 500iu are administered and it will be 1000iu in the past 7 days. I will discuss with my Dr about testing over a 72 hour period. I have no objections and I am sure he wouldn't either. My insurance on the other hand. Not sure how they look at blood work. They have paid what is reasonable and customary so far and I pick up the rest of the tab. If the T comes back low I will certainly consider all options. As I said before, I really don't want to do T unless I have to. My personal concern with increasing HCG dosage is desensitizing and of course, permanent shutdown of the pituitary. What I hope this test will show is that I am indeed secondary (and not both) I think that my lab work pretty uch shows that my testicles are producing T but the LH signal is not working properly so I would expect that hitting it with the HCG should get the ball rolling so to speak. Also, when I first started the HCG my testicles started to ache (just like when I started the clomid) and I can tell there is a minor increase in the size (they have never been small). My Doctor has a compounding pharmacy that he has been very happy with in FL. He ordered the HCG from them. The name escapes me at the moment. It is compounded and does not carry a name brand that I know of. I inject into my stomach (my fat stomach I might add LOL) sub-q Saturday evenings at 10pm and Wednesday mornings before 10am. So far I have managed to stick to this protocol. I was on Paxil for about 6 to 8 months in 2001. I went off it fairly quickly because I had sexual side effects from it - I started to have difficulty climaxing. Presently I am not taking anything at all in this area and haven't for about 4 or 5 years. I replaced the paxil with HERB PHARM Good mood tonic which worked very well in controlling panic attacks. I agree with your last paragraph regarding the anastrozole. The clomid doubled my E2 (at least it appeared that way from the last blood test I had done.) But as you can see from my other labs, I have been dealing with very low E2 for quite some time. Yes, I think it sucks. LOL From what I read, this is a big part of my ED issues. [/QUOTE]
