Quite a few red flags here!

These Low T clinics are the worst, the force you to come into the office for weekly injections which is as for from optimal as you can get. These clinics don't staff doctors who can diagnose and treat complex medical conditions, they staff incompetent people who understand nothing in relation to hormone therapy. Loading dose, there's no such thing, great for selling product though while cause misery for the patient.

Your SHBG will dictate dosing and injection frequency, not these large weekly cookie cutter protocols which are designed for the masses. If SHBG is low, frequent injections multiple times a week is the only path to recovery. Monitoring and balancing estrogen is mission critical.

Please provide all labs including SHBG, E2 sensitive. I'm going to guess SHBG was never run and that E2 wasn't the LC/MS/MS method designed for men because these clinics keep the real hormone specialists busy.

You wanted to know what kind of results can you get from this treatment, it doesn't look good.
