I'm still waiting to for the results of my MRI but I did receive my Estradiol levels back... 16 was the result. Is 16 to low? I always heard between 20 and 30 is best.

The Androgel seems to be working some. I feel about sixty percent better than I had before treatment but I still have my days. I'm not as fatigue in my limbs as I was once before. I'm going to add in HCG with my treatment next week on my own. I'll start with 250iu three times a week for six weeks and retest....opinions are welcome. I have blood work from the Endo that I will do tomorrow and as I mentioned I will use an online facility for other blood work as needed.

I'm going to stop the Welbutrin XL soon...maybe this week

The estradiol is fine. Under 10 would be too low. It will go up some with the HCG you are going to take. Your starting HCG dose sounds fine. I find I feel really good the days after my HCG shot....I hope the same is true for you. I take 300 iu 4 times a week. With your SHBG level you are going to need to get total T to the 800 level most likely to feel right. Maybe even a little higher.
