Blood Work - Androgel @ 4-Pumps Per day

[kelkel]

Hello Ivs.
Curious, was it 1% or 1.62% gel?
Did your doc pull you off the gel for a couple days or right to the 200mg shot?
Speaking of shots, why did she start you at that level? Is it her way of front-loading you and then adjust from there?
Any HCG or AI involved?

1.62%

I have tried Axiron, and was absorbing this but it caused sinutitis, so we switched to testim and I couldn't stand the smell and the sticky application and then tried androgel. No delay after stopping the gel.

I have had pretty low levels now for quite some time, so that is why I am assuming she started me on that dose, she didn't give a reason and I didn't make any suggestions. She likes the gels and perhaps may not have much experience with injections I don't know. She said let's start there re-test in 5-weeks and adjust the dose.

She won't prescribe HCG and I also asked my GP about it but he said there is no scientific evidence for using this in men so he wouldn't prescribe it either. I have acquired HCG elsewhere, but have stopped it since switching to injections. Waiting to see what shots alone do for now, then add HCG in later. She will prescribe an AI depending on my next E2 levels.
