New and looking for some sound advice and recommendations

If your dr. won't prescribe an ai, you can get it from ar-r(banner at the top right of your screen). I don't need one, but many members use it with good results. Every item I've purchased there has been good. Regarding high hemocrit, many guys on trt have this issue. The higher the number, the thicker the blood. The thicker the blood, the harder your heart works to pump that blood. I was at 54.5 and donated. I also lowered my dose.
As far as the endo, I would wait to see what he says before trying to find a new one. Who knows. He may be great.

Are you on your own until the appt? Or are you still seeing the original dr.?

One last thing...I noticed no decrease in the ability to gain muscle since reducing my dose. I'm on a gel, not injections. Matter of fact, since getting my training and diet in check, I've gained more muscle in the past six months than I did with a much higher t level. More is not always better. At 52, I don't need or want super high levels.

There is a saying I learned from those here very knowledgeable, less is more on trt.
