[QUOTE="jmzwy, post: 153779, member: 24750"] I'm not a dr. and can only speak from my own experience, so for what it's worth... I say you just start with testosterone. My original protocol was T, HCG, and some dhea, and an AI to be used when needed for symptom resolution. Within one month I had side effects all over the place.... bloating, wate retention, itchy, temper, irritability on certain days. Took me between 6-9 months to get it all worked out. I discovered I'm extremely sensitive to HCG, and dhea I swear is just toxic to me. I took the AI about 7-10 times in those first few months, which had side effects of its own. And I was really only taking it to battle to spiking estrogenic effects I'd get from the HCG. The AI really did nothing since most of the estrogen symptoms I was experiencing was due to the conversion in the testes due to the HCG.... which the AI does nothing to prevent. So I had to hit the reset button at about 6 months and just go with the testosterone. Everything got much easier for me. I've began HCG intermittently (1 week per month daily at very low doses of 100 iu a day) to give the boys some stimulation. It's about all I can tolerate. My advice would be to dial in the T as a standalone first, then add the HCG in after you feel good and stable. Then anything else if necessary. Again, this is just my experience. And in regards to the HCG, I am certainly envious of those that can tolerate it with no issues. The reasoning and science behind it appear very sound. But if you are new to this, I think one med is enough to start before you start chasing yourself in circles to identify what med of the 3/4 might be giving you side effects.... not too mention what dosage of each of those meds.
