    Starting TRT Next Week. Looking for advice.

    I am going to start test injections and hcg next week and am looking for any advice and suggestions from the experts. The Dr. recommended 1x week but I am going to do every 3.5 days. I will be doing follow up blood work in 12 weeks to determine if AI is needed.
    Should I supplement with DHEA and / or pregnenolone now or wait until my next blood test? Any other supplements recommended?
    Anything odd Im missing in my blood work?

    Thanks!

    I wouldn't start DHEA until you have your DHEAs levels checked.

    I also wouldn't wait 12 weeks for my follow up blood work! I would do 4-6 weeks. Any earlier than that and you may still have residual endogenous T production.

    Finally, your address is visible in the PDF. I would edit that out.

    Looks like you found a decent Dr in the Houston area. It took me a couple attempts, finally found a good one at Baylor College of Medicine.

    Good to see another Texan. Good luck to you & your TRT.
