I use a naturopath that has me dialed in great - he has a brick&mortar TRT clinic. He lifts heavy and is hip to diet. Does your state allow ND's to Rx T 46and2?
I was told by several, including newera, that my "initial consult fee" would "only" be X-$100 instead of X because I already had been receiving treatment elsewhere and had recent bloods.
How long after coming off Clomid should I wait to take my bloods? I was thinking 4-6 weeks.
Ok so I talked to a clinic to see what they had to say. My new blood tests were interesting:
Total Test 399 ng/dL 348-1197
Free Test (Direct) 11.2 pg/mL 8.7-25.1
TSH 2.270 uIU/mL 0.450-4.500
LH 4.7 mIU/mL 1.7-8.6
E2 23.5 pg/mL 7.6-42.6
PSA 0.6 ng/mL 0.0-4.0
Total Cholesterol 270 mg/dL 100-199
HDL 51 mg/dL >39
LDL 191 mg/dL 0-99
Trig 139 mg/dL 0-149
VLDL Cholesterol 28 mg/dL 5-40
So a couple of things jump out at me. First is the 110 point jump in total test, although I guess that could be caused by the testers since the ranges are different? Second is the cholesterol numbers. Holy crap they look bad to me. I'm not overweight, I weight train and do BJJ, all my fats come from fish oil, nuts/seeds, and lean meat. My parents both have/had high cholesterol and took medication for it, so it may be genetic. I'm talking with the new doc tomorrow but I am really concerned about the cholesterol numbers. Any thoughts on lowering that naturally without statins?
I went to a TRT clinic and it was the best thing I could've done. The Dr there is checking everything -and at a frequency that seems a lot safer, unlike the endo's office.
I feel better already. The TRT clinic is covered by insurance 85% and is 100% legal & medically safe.
Those numbers are very good, you are getting a T level of 533 and you arent taking anything at all? What is your age?
What was your hcg dose?
Finally getting squared away. 160mg test cyp weekly, .5mg adex 2x weekly, 500UI hCG 2x weekly. Doc wants me to do a single IM shot weekly, so I am going to try that before going to multiple shots, subq, etc.
Yeah no doubt, just did my first injection. My hematocrit is towards the low end but I plan to keep it in check for sure!
Once a week is fine, im even doing my hcg once a week and actually feel great. I lowered my test dose down to 100mgs a week and my libido is better. Im not even taking an ai, i need to get blood work on this new protocol though.Finally getting squared away. 160mg test cyp weekly, .5mg adex 2x weekly, 500UI hCG 2x weekly.

I know my total test was too high and my e2 was fine, i really dont know why its better now. If i bump my test up to 300mgs a week my libido come back.What were you before 100 mg/week? Do you think your E2 was too high without an AI, possibly causing the low libido?
