HRT question advise...

**BUYLONGTERM** · 03-31-2004, 04:35 PM

Well, I asked my Dr. to put me on HCG ( I told him because of my HRT shots I'm getting a little bit of atrophy) Well, he finally calls back and says he talked with his good friend who is an Endo and he now wants me to make an appt. I've been off my cycle for a week or so. Should I hold off on PCT so that my levels will be even lower? I'm sure he's going to want full blood work!!!! This obviously is the best time to see one because again, I'm not on a cycle.

He can deny you certain treatments and medications based on your steroid use . Also it goes into your medical records which can cause you to be denied employment or insurance.

There are lots of old threads about this, you might want to read them.

IMO I would wait until your levels are lower for sure, I am on HRT and I did and it worked out for me.
