[QUOTE="blackebob, post: 100572, member: 17268"] couple of things, and I suck at typing so bear with err. I have been running this race since Jan 2015. Andro Gel first, and after about 9 months I was feeling awesome, 99%. New DR is going to fix me, I should have run out of his office at that point, and starts me on clomid. Total failure. Weight gain, night sweats........ Dropped the douche bag, and back on Androgel March 16. July I was down 25 lbs, and felt great. Erections were off some, and I was at 1500T, looking back after finding this site and learning a lot, my E was probably through the roof also. New doc starts me on cream, only at a very low dose. Regain weight, low libido, soft wood, symptoms return. Over the next year and a half I repeated this 3 month cycle. Up dosage a little, feel great for a couple of weeks, crash and then wait for the end of the three months to come so we can test T and up dosage. Fast fwd 18 months, and I talk to a new doc my ART guy suggested. First visit she says double the cream dosage. Felt great, and we switched to 200mg C once a week. I had already been learning a couple of weeks by then from Excel, so I split my dose into E3.5D. I added Hcg, and around four weeks after starting. I am bloated, and I cant get rid of it no matter what I try. Woods good, but not great. I was trying to find my HCG dose, and was trying out different doses, that I see posted. Settled in on 150iu HCG, and 22+/- mg T daily injection for last four weeks. I think you have a lower SHBG, it runs about the same place as mine. I have had some of the same symptons as you, not all though. Thus with a lower SHBG I switched to daily injections, if SHBG was higher it would require less frequent injections. After daily injections for weeks , wood gets bettor, but I am still bloated. I also need a nap in the afternoon. Last week I cut out my DHEA dose of 25mg 2xD, and after one week still bloated. Four days ago I cut out the HCG. It has a short half life so I figured any changes would be quick. It was. My bloat is down a lot. In three days I am down 5lbs in water weight. My erections are firmer, and I am starting to feel great. So, I am going to wait a month before trying HCG again, and see what happens. Having said all that, and probably confusing the hell out of you ....... I agree with the others your T is to low, also try injecting more often. Stay off the HCG for awhile. Looking back I had the best success so far with Andro Gel. I am just an impatient bastard, and overdid it on my second go round with it. I do believe though that once I get the injection dialed in it will out shine the gel, but hey YMMV. I loved the Gel. [/QUOTE]
