    I've been on a topical gel for about 4 months and would like some feedback on my meds, supplements and diet. I'm 43 y/o. 6'-2", 230 lbs. I go to the gym 4 days/week. I run a 10 min mile, then lift for 45 mins. Never did a steroid cycle.

    Breakfast: Egg whites and oatmeal
    Lunch: Tuna only, and greek yogurt
    After workout: protein shake
    Dinner: chicken breast, fish (salmon), or lean steak. Broccoli, green beans or brussel sprouts. White rice or potato.
    Snack: Deli turkey breast, cottage cheese, almonds or spoonful of peanut butter

    My daily meds and supplements are:

    Meds taken at 7 a.m.
    Topical testosterone gel 90 mg (3 under arm swips)
    100 mg DHEA
    100 mg Pregnenolone
    2 Triple strength fish oil softgels
    2 GNC Mega Man Sport Vitamins

    Testosterone, Serum (Total) 1,250 ng/dL 348 - 1197 ng/dL
    My next Endo appt isn't until a month from now. So, with all that said, here's what I'd appreciate some feedback on:

    1. Do my meds look okay? Any red flags?
    2. Been on TRT for 4 months and I added hCG a month ago and my total T went up to 1,250. Prior to adding hCG my total T was around 600. I've now lowered my TRT dosage, but should I also stop hCG?
    3. When I take the hCG in the mornings with everything else, after about two hours I feel like my blood pressure is getting real high (can feel my pulse in my neck and head), I feel light headed and faint. When I take hCG in the evenings, I have none of these side effects. Any explanation for this?
    4. My blood pressure has always been normal (slightly high at times), but it's been consistently high at 145/120 the past few weeks. Any red flags that could be causing this?
    5. Any other feedback would be appreciated.

    looks fine- you might need an AI- review with next bloodwork.
    2. Been on TRT for 4 months and I added hCG a month ago and my total T went up to 1,250. Prior to adding hCG my total T was around 600. I've now lowered my TRT dosage, but should I also stop hCG? no, see how your next bloodwork goes .do one change at a time
    3. When I take the hCG in the mornings with everything else, after about two hours I feel like my blood pressure is getting real high (can feel my pulse in my neck and head), I feel light headed and faint. When I take hCG in the evenings, I have none of these side effects. Any explanation for this? continue taking at night
    4. My blood pressure has always been normal (slightly high at times), but it's been consistently high at 145/120 the past few weeks. Any red flags that could be causing this?
    increased hematocrit, give blood or see what happens now that you have lowered your dose- keep an eye on your hematocrit.
    5. Any other feedback would be appreciated.
    see above
