[QUOTE="Re-Ride, post: 33249, member: 8395"] Daniel, How many shots have you had? If just a few there is another course of action to consider especially because you are 30. If you've only briefly been on TRT you might consider stopping, waiting a few weeks until your natural T returns to baseline, then getting the proper baseline labs which are listed in the intro sticky here. Ordinarily the steps taken prior to TRT involve looking at everything that might be depressing endogenous T: stress, exercise level, environmental toxins, diet, lack of quality sleep, sleep apnea, ect and determining if your hypogonadism is primary or secondary. Lifestyle changes and/or alternate therapies may or may not work. Considering the lifelong commitment TRT requires they are certainly worth the effort. If the hypogonadism is diagnosed as hypogonadic or "secondary" your doc may wish to try a jump start such as hCG or Clomid before resorting to TRT . It's worthwhile noting that for every month on TRT or other steroid use the time required to re-set the HP axis(s) to get back to baseline is usually an equal number of months to which the body was exposed to exogenous steroids. A few individual find they are unable to re-start endogenous T production at all. The likelihood of that increases with each month on exogenous hormone use. Therefore, a decision to try alternate modalities is best made sooner than later. It should not be assumed that TRT is your fastest route to vigor. If your doc decides you are a candidate for hCG or Clomid those might well get you feeling better faster. On the issue of what your student insurance covers check to see if a referral from Student Health might pay for a specialist. You might also contact the financial aid office to see if any grant money is available. [/QUOTE]
