[QUOTE="Charlesfitstein, post: 249246, member: 43901"] If there is anything specific information wise that would be helpful just let me know and I’ll answer it. I went to a urologist today for unrelated issue and found out he “specializes” in hormones. He thought my plan of stopping all test and ai was a solid plan although he said the 200iu I’m taking every four days should really be taken every other day. Expense wise that just isn’t feasible. We decided to try 100iu every other day for now. He ordered a blood pannel with test iv never had done he called it a pituitary pannel. He wants to wait another week or so to give the ai and test to purge from my system. He suggested taking the hCG 2-4 months then stopping for a month and get another lab work up and see my baseline to better attack the issue. He also stated he’s just a urologist who specializes in hormones relates to sex drive etc. he suggested seeing an endocrinologist because some of my symptoms lead him to believe I could be better served there. I am new to all of this but it just seems all an endocrine doctor would do would be the extended blood pannel followed by a treatment of ai and test. I am still going to go and hear the man out. I was also told endocrinologist have a cookie cutter approach and are afraid to prescribe what’s actually needed aka the good stuff whatever that is?!?! I was led to a vitality clinic for trt and called them they don’t take insurance and from the phone consult sounded like they wouldn’t really change much. Perhaps more knowledgeable people tracking me and more labs would be good but it’s a two hour drive and not covered by insurance. [/QUOTE]
