Is this dosing protocol about right?
Hey everyone, I've been been on HCG for 5 weeks now but I am going to ask my doc to switch me to direct testosterone instead. I previously had thyroid cancer and just found out that HCG can pose some risk with that previous conditon (HCG can mimick TSH, causing cancer re-growth).
My primary physician isn't super knowledgeable on TRT, but he is willing to prescribe it (my T levels are around 330 ng/dl, hence the HCG he put me on). I'm going to ask for a starting dose of 100 mg/week, split into 2 IM injections using 25 gauge 1.5" needle. I'll be discontinuing HCG.
Does that sound reasonable?
