[QUOTE="Grapple333, post: 67991, member: 15468"] At little background first. Im 35 years old and for the last 5 + years I've felt like crap. Trouble losing fat, Recovering, High Anxiety etc... Last year when my daughter was born and we hit our out of pocket max i had my PCP run all my labs last september and they came back as follows. Test total 334 Test free 57.9 Test Bioavailable 131.6 SHBG 21 Album Serum 5 (no estrogen though, he did however run a cbc and thyroid panel which all were in normal range, can post if needed) His response was your levels are fine. I disagreed and said maybe for a 70 year old and made an appointment. I tried to get him to prescribe Clomid from my research but he declined, then i mentioned hcg and he went for that. I tried 2 11,000 IU bottles at 500 every 3 days and saw zero improvement so I just stopped. Never got post labs though. Fast forward 3 months and I'm still not feeling right so i decided to get labs done from a trt specialist and I'm waiting for those to come back. My question is if they come back like i expect them to, I'm going to make an appointment which will be about a month out. I still have 11,000 iu's of hcg. Should i try to run that (at what dose?) for the next 3 weeks and then have labs done for just test and see where its at. My thought process is if i see zero increase in test then doesn't that mean that its my testicles not producing which would point towards my testicles being the problem not my hpta and maybe warrant skipping a Clomid restart and going directly to TRT. I figured best case scenario my level does go up and then my testes are primed to try a climid restart. [/QUOTE]
