[QUOTE="Gman86, post: 138646, member: 15043"] Pretty easily. For thyroid, just test your oral temperature upon waking, if you have a temp of 98.0-98.9, or even high 97’s, most likely your thyroid isn’t in bad shape. If your temp is low, I would just talk to him about getting the proper thyroid tests done asap, to rule it out. But even if labs look good, but temp is low, it might be worth asking him to trial some thyroid medication. There’s no harm in trying it. As far as E2, your starting protocol should be fine without that info. Most guys won’t need an ai, and do well just letting E2 end up where it ends up. Just get it on your next bloodwork and you’ll be fine. I would guess that your SHBG is about mid range. Maybe 20-35. Mine was 50 before I started, and I had literally the exact same free T as you, but my total was close to 700. So with you having the same free T as me, with a much lower total T, I would say your SHBG is about mid range. So I would try to get him to put you on EOD injections, or E3.5D injections. And for your starting protocol, it’s easy. ALWAYS just start low and go slow. So have him start you on a low dose, like 100mg/week. Do testosterone only at the beginning. If you do test and HCG from the beginning, and don’t feel good, you won’t know if it’s the HCG, or the dosages. You can always add HCG later if you want. But keep it simple at the beginning. [/QUOTE]
