Guest guest Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 How are you feeling? If things are fine, then I probably wouldn't worry about it. If you are still interested in fertility and/or concerned about testes shrinkage, then you may ask for a small dose of HCG, i.e. 250 iu's every three days or so. Injections more that that tends to increase aromatase activity (raise E). Some TRT doctors also believe that HCG may have other benefits to your body other than simulating LH. Some people have also stated that they tend to feel better with a little HCG....good luck > I have an endo apointment tomorrow (tuesday), and want to get some > advice on what to ask for & what questions I should ask.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 Thanks for the response. I AM feeling pretty good, although anything is better than I felt when my levels were in the 300's. I will ask then for a HcG suppliment to the Testim. Thanks! > > I have an endo apointment tomorrow (tuesday), and want to get some > > advice on what to ask for & what questions I should ask.

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2004 Report Share Posted March 27, 2004 don't put on the testim less than a few hours before you get your blood drawn or you could have an artificially high level from the initial spike after application. happened to me--resulted in titrating down too far and I felt a bit off. doing great on 5g/day. I put on a little extra (and an unnecessary levitra) right before I have sex for a double-whammy boost. this voodoo is probably the placebo effect and really doesn't do shit for me but a feel like Brown (minus the coke)!!! > I have an endo apointment tomorrow (tuesday), and want to get some > advice on what to ask for & what questions I should ask.
