Endocrinologist Visit: Complicated...Mods/Vets input and advice...

My doc says recently that men 45 and up do not respond to HCG that good.............

My endo just told me the HCG is only given for fertility and it's not his specialty so he doesn't/wont prescribe it. I guess real/full TRT isnt his specialty either.

There unfortunately are a lot of bad doctors in that field. But at least he's not willing to prescribe something for something he doesn't know much about. Did he at least refer you to somebody else?

Have him read the inside label of an hcg prescription. It clearly states it is used for hypogonadism. I personally have just gone through what youre talking about, actually most of us in the HRT forum here have, and I just ended up going to Crisler this last week as it was impossible to find a doctor willing to treat with other than 30 year old methodologies.

Yeah I may do the same. I sent him an email earlier today to see if maybe I can get him to just prescribe the HCG if I send him all my blood work without having to do the full consultation or if he has any doctors he has worked with in my area successfully.

I faxed the info on HCG that is posted under the HRT forum, his nurse called me and said, and I quote "HCG is for women only" I laughed inside. Consequently, he did agree to 1ml per week.

My pharmacy called and said my Endo called in a 3 month supply of test, but it was on back order and has been since SEPTEMBER. What's up with that?
