I have been really slacking at this log - mainly because I have been going through so much back and forth about TRT with the doctor that had been trying to restart me with clomid, and Anastrozol....long story short, he decided that it was highly unlikely i was going to restart. He said he was going to read some peer reviewed research I provided him on using HCG, then clomid or HCG with TRT to possibly mitigate fertility issues. He told me he had not prescribed HCG before (only basic TRT - shots, and pellets) and that he was unfamiliar with the medical guidelines for control and prescription of it. He told me he was going to speak to an endo friend of his (one of the top guys in the state that works in the same building a floor up) and see if he would be willing to take my case from him... this was 5 weeks ago, and I keep calling the MD office every week or two to get an update and they just say he will call me back.. no call back yet. I went ahead and got some Corion C HCG and am going to blast it for 9-12 days E3d. The real reason for this, aside from one last hurrah at recovery is that I went in for a semen analysis and my swimmer count was low ~ 20million (range is 40-200) but with good motility.
This prompted me to decide to freeze some batches of swimmers in case the eventual TRT zaps the remaining army men. I am only 30 and hope to at least keep my option open for such things if needed.
Plan now is to blast for 3 more shots of 2500IU and then go in to the IVF place and bank some more--- hopefully my count will be at least doubled.. In the meanwhile I am left not sure how to proceed with this doc... not sure if he is giving me the cold shoulder or if he is truly tracking down the Endo, or researching what is required to prescribe me HCG?
I am really hoping to tackle the TRT under my insurance, which rules out clinics.. and the only clinics in my state are insanely overpriced.... however I got some names of other docs in neighboring states/clinics if needed
