Hi folks,
I'm a TRT sufferer from Europe and maybe you don't know it but European doctors (endos,urologists) know nothing about treating TRT. This is like the dark ages here.
You guys are so damn lucky for being in the USA and having hormone doctors. The USA is so much advanced when it comes to male anti aging. It's so sad.
I have been to endos for years begging them to put me on TRT and they all made fun of me and told me my levels are still normal.
Then finally I found an endo, basically the last one in my region, who at least admitted that I have secondary hypogonadism.
But he is also not very open and not interested. He first put me on gels which didn't really work for me. Then he suggested Nebido (1 injection every 3 months but often
people need more injections). He also said I could get Testoviron Depot injections 250mg every 3 weeks.
I asked him about AIs and HCG. He said he doesn't do that. He also will not allow subcutaneous self-injections even though this would be easier than going to a doc every 2-3
weeks for an injection.
Basically my hands are bound. I have NO other endo I could try out. I have been to them all. Endos here basically treat obese people with insulin. THIS is what they do.
They know nothing about HRT and also don't care.
My question now is if I wanted to treat myself with HCG and AI how risky would that be?
I mean what if I get side effects or drug interactions?
I also take antidepressants. I don't even know if antidepressants and arimidex would work or if this could be dangerous.
The problem is if I cannot tell any doctor about it then in case I get side effects I also cannot go to a doctor for help.
But TRT with HCG seems like no option to me. Even now my balls have totally shrunk from the gel!
Often times my scrotum is so tensed that I cannot even tell if the balls are still there!
I also don't want to become infertile.
And if you use HCG do you absolutely also need an AI because of E2? Will HCG always raise E2?
Let's say I just wanted to try HCG how quickly should I notice a change to see if it helps me?
And how risky is the injection of HCG and storing HCG in the fridge? Does HCG need to be used immediately upon opening?
I don't know if the HCG here is in a glass vial which cannot be sealed again once opened. I don't want to risk contaminations with bacteria.
