Hi all, I have low T. I’m about to start treatment, but I don’t want the boys shrinking up, so I asked about hcg. The doc I currently go to was having none of it, and correct me if I’m mistaken, but the general consensus here is that hcg is a necessary aspect of TRT. Can anyone point me in the direction of a doc in the Chicago area (or maybe a website) that really knows what he / she is doing?
I’d like to retain my fertility and testicle size here.
Anyone? bump. Is there any sort of directory or something?
Be patient. Some are doing their taxes.
TRT can be a bit complex and its beyond most doctors.

What is your history of [not] using iodized salt or vitamins listing iodine+selenium?
Post your oral body temperatures as per the thyroid basis explained sticky.atien
I used iodized salt, but I don’t cook all that much. I don’t take vitamins at all. Oral body temperatures upon waking up, right? Any specific time in the morning?
Bump. Did the temperature via oral thermometer. 96.5 in the morning! What the heck? That’s something I didn’t know was wrong with me.
Where should I go from there?
Yes; hit up Chicagoland Men’s Health. They don’t work with insurance but I got on a program of theirs that included T-Cyponate, Anastrozole, and HCG for $199. Pretty reasonable place.
