My DR is an idiot pt2

[pittbulldad]

So after the responses that I received about the dosage of HCG i was doing (2500IU/week) and finding out that most people are doing dosages much lower.. i contacted my doc just to see if I just missed lowering the dosage..

he just called.. wants me doing 3300IU/week IM or 500IU/day subcu.................



wtf.......

Is this an endo?

[pittbulldad]

nope.. he's a retired plastic surgeon who decided to do HRT after he retired.............

[RoadToRecovery]

Well a doctor has to be qualified in the field that he is practicing in... Maybe he knows what he is doing maybe he doesnt. Get a second opinion.

For how long? Is this just a one or two week spike? If not, and it's his idea of a long term protocol, ask him if he's intentionally trying to create HCG-induced Leydig cell desensitization? Because that's what going to happen if you are running high levels for extended periods. I understand the need to jump start the nads with a sufficiently large dose, but all hCG protocols I've read about for TRT purposes taper the dose off after a week or two.

thats long term.. i'm really not sure what the hell he's doing.... btw i'm not following his instructions

Your doc is retarded if i did that much i would blow up like a balloon an nipples get sensitive an get gyno. I hope your running some type of a.i. Cuz your estrogen is going to be through the roof. I could see if u were on hrt or cycle a long time without hcg and u wanted to get your nuts jump started but he's wrong if this is for the long hall. All u need with hrt is like 250ius twice a week. This is how run it even on cycle running test at like 800mgs a week with other compounds = to my total mgs a week over 1500mgs. Go by how u feel if u loose a lil sex drive or your balls feel a lil smaller either go 500ius twice a week or 250ius 3 times a week until better.

that has been the ongoing issues.. high estrogen levels and bloating.. its sexy let me tell you.. by the time i go to bed i look 20 pounds heavier...

getting hooked up with new doc so hope its better soon

[Epic Ed]

Jeebus...really? You already have high E2 and bloating and he wants you running that dose of hCG PLUS your regular test dose?

Good to hear you're moving on to someone different.

Pitbull, glad to see you're taking control of your situation. There's so many guys out there right now that are going through this garbage and they have no clue that it could be potentially harmful. This forum woke my ass up about how bad it really is out there.

Good job on making a switch. I'm sure you will be very glad that you did!

Most importantly you took responsibility for your own nuts! if only you could chop off his!
