[QUOTE="S1W, post: 132656, member: 16947"] Crazy...my pre-TRT numbers were almost identical to yours - both sets, too. And same age, physically fit, similar symptoms, etc. I even had a physician tell me years ago when I asked to get my levels tested, "well you have a beard so clearly there is no reason to test your testosterone" and he flat out refused to order the tests. Anyway, a few thoughts for your situation: - If you think you might want to have kids in a year or two, don't bother going on TRT now (yes even if you include HCG). - If you do choose to start TRT, I would recommend starting with T only - no HCG or anything else. 20% compounded cream or injectable testosterone. Get that part of the equation dialed in (which can take a long time to do) and then consider whether or not you want to add something like HCG. - My GP referred me to an endo. The endo sucked. I then tried a local naturopath who was actually pretty decent for a non-TRT specialist doc but still had pretty limited knowledge on the subject. I eventually ended up with one of the clinics that are site sponsors here. Having been through all of that, I'd recommend you just go with one of the site sponsors right out of the gates and save yourself some frustration. [/QUOTE]
