Disobeying the Doc

DixieWrecked · Sep 13, 2019

My doc prescribed me 180mg test cyp weekly every 3.5 days. Also 1000iu of HCG weekly e3.5 days. I did that for about 2.5 months, got my bloodwork done and did my consult. We agreed to keep it the same cuz everything looked good. We scheduled a follow up 6 months later. About 1-2 weeks later I started not feeling as good and I dropped my dosage to 140mg weekly and started injecting eod. HCG I kept the dosage at 1000iu weekly but also inject that eod with my test in the same shot. I have gotten my own bloodwork done and it looks even better than it did with the e3.5 day injections and I also feel better.

Will my doc be pissed that I changed the protocol without a consultation? Does anyone have any experience with this situation? I am thinking of how I am going to break the news.

If your numbers look good why divulge that you changed, I mean, if you think your Dr is going to reject you over it, maybe you don't. If you have a generous Dr that gives you room to work with things Id certainly tell them. In a manner of speaking me experimenting is good for him and other guys he treats.

If your doc is a good guy/gal, it isn't a horrible to thing say...I tried a little less and I feel better. I think trying more would be a bigger issue for most.

This change in protocol is a good tool to get a feel for your doctors open mindedness, if you doctor responds negatively, he/she isn't the right doctor for you.
