To return to technical aspect- IMO 3X a week SQ is quite decent protocol, and is quite simple and straightforward- you draw your blood before next injections and see your low, as it is quite frequent peak want be much higher, also optionally person can follow with HCG injection
target testosterone levels are different for different people, with SHBG level being one of the bigger factors- guys with lower struggle bit more, and they cannot go high as testosterone converts to other metabolites a lot, on other hand people with high SHBG need more to "overrun" SHBG, its not uncommon for some of these folks to have target level of 1200 ng/dl, this kind of sounds a lot but SHBG bound testosterone cannot cross blood-brain barrier, and altough it has tis own receptors in body mostly its just floating in the blood, to say so. Point that I'm trying to make is that from your last bloodwork maybe you did not needed to change a lot, and I felt you've been closer to goal more than ever before so making radical changes
you endo kind of reminds me of Coyote with his plans chasing roadrunner, only you have been suffering instead of coyote
some choices I can swallow (like opting not to use HCG) and some other, but you did get gyno as her fault, which is embarassing (for her)
she never tested other hormones properly which in future may have adverse effect, for example if progesterone is too low your prostate will be messed up
if TSH is high it increases chances of melanomas big time and is inflammatory etc...
You do feel better before treatment, thats for sure, but even if you've been cruisin' on 150 of test a week, you would feel improvement
and in the end; you will eventually have to go through all this ordeal again,
by now you should have been there and optionally thinking about cycle, instead you've been lost in no man's land
surely you can go to some other town?
There is no need to negotiate with stubborn docs/endos- this is your life, and this is your time!
You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Jelisej again.
Well said JJ, make it happen Burly, enough dicking around. And jj as a point of interest and this goes out to all of you who just follow what you are told in the world and believe what you see or hear without questioning it, did you know that coyotes can run faster than road runners? Sure they can, google it. If you've been fooled by this since childhood just think of what else has slipped by you lol.
Thanks guys... I really appreciate your knowledge and words of encouragement to be more proactive. I'm going to digest all of this, sleep on it, and consider my options.
Short update: nothing has transpired since our last conversation.. I've been too busy to mess with trying to talk with/get appt with the doc. I only have one more scheduled injection prior to the bloodwork, so at this point I'm going to go through the process, get my BW (free test is supposed to be included this time), find out the results, and discuss them with my doc. I will push for her approval of more frequent injections, and have a conversation about dosage, depending on how the numbers come in.
I thought I'd post a pic or two to let you know what I've been up to. I was out of the gym for about 2 months between work/vacation/illness/vacation and during that time I really decreased my caloric intake. During that 2 months, I went from about 193 to 178. A lot of that was muscle, but I did take off some fat and reduce my belt line too.
I've been back in the gym for almost 2 months now. I decided not to bump up my calories right away and just let the workouts burn more body fat while I was taking advantage of growth from muscle memory. Partly because of this, I have maintained my weight between 180-182, but am getting a little leaner each week. I say "partly" because I have been using peptides 3-4 times daily and can tell this has made a significant difference. My recovery is doubled, and my bad shoulder is at about 75-80% which is a miracle. I still have miles to go, but here are a couple of pics taken this morning...

Lookin' good, Burly. Your arms and back are impressive. I wish my back grew as well as yours.
And kudos on flushing the toilet before taking a pic. A brown trout in the bog would have served as a distraction to your overall progress :D
What other place would it be OK to take a pic next to a toilet... only for my Swole Source buds!
Thanks for the compliments...
My back... genetics plus a lot of hard work and concentrating on the stretch and squeeze portions.
My arms... It may surprise you to know they are only 16.5". Muscular, but not all that large. I've had them as big as 17.25, but I had more body fat at that time. The leaner arms don't stretch the shirt sleeves as much, but they do look better overall.
Still swole and thick as hell......
Pics don't work on my phone but good work on leaning out.
What type of diet are you following or what's your diet look like?
