[QUOTE="Pacman, post: 14817, member: 2450"] According to what you wrote, TRT will definitely be very beneficial for you. Smart move!! By the way, did you only post part of your blood work? Because I cannot seem to see your T levels in the attached image... Have they tested LH and FSH as well? And yes, you really have nothing to gain at the moment from an AI. If your levels start increasing way too high on TRT, [I]then [/I]it would be wise to incorporate it. Estrogen is a very important hormone. If your levels drop too low, you will have a bunch of other issues you do not want (it's very important for bone health!). You are very unlikely to deal with any physical changes from too high estrogen before you start dealing with all the emotional ones first. So you are very likely to [I]feel[/I] the rise anyway. You have a long way to go before you need to start worrying about your E levels though. Regarding a doctor in your area that allows you to self administer, you will probably find one if you just look around (and it probably won't take that long either). Being that you have a PPO plan, you can set for yourself appointments, and you don't need to stay with this current doctor. So this doctor doesn't allow you to self-administer, go to a different one that does. You can just call and ask about it, so you don't waste too much time. Just have all your recent labs and medical records sent over, so you don't have to go through the process again. An alternative to a conventional doctor is to go through private clinics, such as Defy Medical. Most doctors allow you to self-administer, so it is kind of your luck that you just fell upon a doctor who happens to not. Another major point: TRT is [I]not[/I] a very common subject that you'll find a lot of doctors know about. Most doctors are very cautious about it anyways because there is a very thin line separating TRT from steroid use, at least to the uneducated minds (which is like most people I think lol). I suggest you do a lot of research and find a [I]good[/I] doctor who knows what he's doing, and one who is just as proactive as you are.
