[QUOTE="Reason, post: 104206, member: 17508"] Had my consult and got more labs back. Here's an update. [B]Spoke with a NP who recommended:[/B] - Start .125 Anastrozole 2x week, increase to 3x week if necessary - If the AI does not ameliorate symptoms, remove HCG and re-evaluate - If symptoms subside, add HCG back slowly to find ideal dose This is if I want to maintain my current T/FT levels, which are right on the money (T~950, FT~25) for where we wanted them to be during my initial consult: T ~1000, FT 18-30. And I was feeling really good before week 6. I will also switch to a daily injection schedule @ 20mg/day which will put me at 140mg/week. If all of this goes well, I will consider re-introducing Pregnenolone and then DHEA one at a time and slowly. [B]New labs:[/B] Highlights: - FT3: 3.9pg/mL (2.0-4.4) - TSH: 4.130 uIU/mL (0.450-4.500), up from 2.190 pre-treatment - IGF-1 333ng/mL (83-233), included for free, never tested before (HIGH) HCT went up slightly, 43.5 -> 46.4 PSA went up slightly, 0.7 -> 0.8 Everything else looks good and stable. Although this isn't a full thyroid panel, I'm not seeing much reason for worry here. Still thinking my symptoms are either the E2 or the T. [B]Questions: [/B]How do I inject HCG on a daily schedule? Can I just do HCG MWF in the morning? Should I be worried about the elevation in TSH and the elevated IGF-1? [/QUOTE]
