[QUOTE="mdm14, post: 116710, member: 18411"] Had my followup appointment today with a full workup and physical and reviewed blood results in detail as well as TRT protocols, pros & cons, etc. I was prescribed a 3 month trial of TRT. Protocol is 100 mg Test E (Delatestryl) per week. No AI, no HCG for trial period to see how I respond to test only. He said to start at once per week injections but if I feel a slump at the end of the week, I should move to twice per week. He told me to use 25g one inch needles using z-track and I gave myself a practice injection of water with him. From what I have read, this is a very reasonable trial. I have a couple questions though. Should start with two injections per week rather than try one first? I have read that Test E has a bit shorter of a half life than Test C but given my high SHBG (50ish) maybe 1 is better? Can I use a 28g 1/2" 1/2 CC insulin needle instead of the 25g one inch? Seems like the answer is yes to this. As I am 29 and could be on this a long time if things go well, thinking I could try SC rather than IM? Again high SHBG so maybe quicker delivery of IM is better. My wife and I still want kids and the Dr said he is open to adding HCG after the 3 month trial but typically has his guys come off T to conceive. Should this be fine if I add HCG later or should I be including right from the start? I do have really good benefits and FSH/HMG is fully covered so I could always see if he would add those later. I do like the idea of keeping the trial simple though. I realize these are all very subjective questions and no one knows what is right for sure, just looking for some discussion. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
