He did say he preferred HCG 100IU/day if I didn't mind injecting every day but that bi-weekly was fine until I become more comfortable.

Monday morning and Thursday evening.

I think I know what you mean but can't tell if doing it this way is bad for me. How do you recommend? Same day? Day after? Or it doesn't really matter?

Quick update... Had my consultation on Tuesday afternoon. Here's my protocol: 70mg Test Cyp twice a week 500IUs HCG twice a week (day before T shots) The meds and needles/syringes came in today (except for the syringes that go with my 25 gauge 5/8" needles). Mixed the HCG easy enough and...

Quick update... My consult appointment got moved to May 24th. Only a few days away so I will let you guys know what protocol I end up with. I think my doc prefers low dose clomid to start but I don't know if he will recommend it for me based on my labs and/or the fact I will have been using...

Hello peeps! My missing lab results came in today. DHEA-S 165 (102.6-416.3) Estradiol Sensitive 18.9 (8-35) I was worried for a bit about using the AndroGel while waiting for my consult. But spoke to the Dr. and he said the AndroGel was fine as a "bridge" until June when I can get on a proper...

I think it's too soon to notice anything so far. However, I do look forward to getting up early to apply the gel. Hopefully early this upcoming week I can get my initial consult scheduled so I can figure out my next step.

I don't know if Rock is going to read your advice. If he does, I hope he starts his own thread.

Agreed. I picked up the AndroGel and doing 2 pumps per day every morning since Wednesday. However, I am waiting for my phone consultation with a clinic in Tampa, FL. Will probably be a few weeks before I can start injecting so using the gel until then. I already did all the required lab work...

The missing labs finally came in: Test 259 (250-1100) Free Test 54.9 (35-155) So Test was 245 the first time and 259 two weeks later. Free Test, I can't tell how good/bad 54.9 is since the reference range is probably similar to Test where it includes all ages etc.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised nor disappointed since I was expecting some type of nonsense from the VA. All this points to the obvious...stop wasting time and schedule the consult with the T clinic. I have to get their physical exam form completed somewhere like CVS and I'm missing DHEA-S &...

I'm still here at the VA. Just saw the urologist and he says my test is "just a little low." Says it should be 300-325. He prescribed AndroGel 1.62% 20.25mg/pump 2 pumps/day and wants me to retest in August and follow up with him in Sept. No varicoceles in the testicles, no hernia etc. I...

Thanks! As my date with the urologist approaches I am getting anxious and nervous. Will the lab results speak for themselves? At this point I don't know why I am so worried. As I mentioned before, I am all but set with the other clinic and I know they will take good care of me. Catch you...

What do you think about Primary vs Secondary based on the latest labs?
