I'm assuming SHGB is the sex hormone that i got an 18 on? I mentioned HCG when I was with the Doctor and he insisted that I didn't need that. He said it was very very expensive and often times doesn't do anything. At this point I'll try anything before trt. Do you think a short 9 week cycle with Tren can shut me down for good? What exactly is T3 and T4? Sorry, I'm relatively new to all this and I appreciate your time and effort in helping me out.

I tried getting another appointment with a different endocrinologist but the closest appointment I could get is 2 months out. Ugh
I'm assuming too that "sex hormone" is actually SHBG. The range you poster (10-50) is about right for it when it's measured in nmol/L. While you are not out of range, you are on the low side. You have pretty good levels of LH & FSH, so the low T has to be either primary (testicles not responding to the LH) or hyper metabolism due to low(ish) SHBG. If you are primary, the HCG probably wouldn't help much, but if it's due to the low SHBG, it may increase your E2 (which I suspect is very low) and that could bring up your SHBG. You can easily obtain it from alternative sources, so if you want to thumb your nose at the doc and try it, it should be easy to obtain. It's not really that expensive either from alternative sources. I pay $30 to $60 for 5,000 IU vials. Cost depends on vendor.

T3 & T4 are your primary thyroid hormones. TSH stimulates the release of T4 from the thyroid and then some of it is converted to the more active T3 form. Armour Thyroid is desiccated pig thyroid which contains T4, T3, T2, & T1.

I have no experience with AAS, so I can't answer the tren question.
