Where to start?

What kind of doctor to see to distinguish between pseudo-gyno (fat) and gyno. I worry if I go to a surgeon they will insist on surgery no matter what, and I would like to exhaust other options first. I saw an endocrinologist a couple years ago who said it looked like pseudo-gyno, but did not do a thorough exam.

HCG only? HCG + Test? Concerns about gyno...

I'm early in this journey. I've been prescribed HCG + Test, it's a moderately low dose, 60ius of hcg a week and .5ml of test each week split between two doses each.

I'm overweight, middle age and also just started a low dose glp1. One of my main symptoms has been low energy, difficulty losing weight, and in particular upper body fat. Have I mentioned I'm overweight? My goals are to keep fertility while getting into shape and losing 25 pounds. I just started, and my energy is up a bit already.

I don't want to be on TRT forever, but I'm also worried about gyno. My doctor recommended low dose DIM (100mg) as well. I'm getting bloodwork in a few weeks.

I welcome any suggestions/supplements/hacks or experiences.

HCG Only? HCG + Testosterone? Concerns about gyno

Hi Everyone. I'm early in this journey. I've been prescribed HCG + Test, it's a moderately low dose, 60ius of hcg a week and .5ml of test each week split between two doses each.

Next steps after sclerotherapy ?

I had sclerotherapy (where they inject a foam into a vein) from a heart doctor months ago, not a vein clinic or vascular surgeon. Doesn't seem like it worked? What are next steps? What are the most effective treatments?

HCG + Testosterone?

I'm starting HCG + TRT this week. I have many questions, and would appreciate any advice/tips/experiences.

Short backstory, I've been on enclomiphene prescribed by a doctor for a little over a year. Enclomiphene worked pretty well. Nothing dramatic, no major change in body composition, but I had more energy. BUT it's been a year, and he thinks I would feel better and get better results with TRT.

My concern with TRT was fertility, so his suggestion is to take HCG with TRT. I said I would give it a try, so I've been prescribed two months worth of both (low starting dosage on both). I get my first injection at the doctor's office this week.

I have questions: For those who have done HCG and TRT? What side effects should I look out for? Any tips/hacks? Do people recommend cycling, if so, how do you cycle? Any and all feedback is welcome

Best tips/hacks/Suggestions for HCG and TRT? Question about cycles

I'm starting HCG + TRT this week. I have many questions, and would appreciate any advice/tips/experiences.

Short backstory, after bloodwork showed my testosterone was low my doctor put me on low dose enclomiphene a year ago. Enclomiphene worked pretty well, not a dramatic transformation or change in body composition, but I had more energy. BUT it's been a year, and he thinks I would feel better and get better results with TRT. My concern with TRT was fertility, so his suggestion is to take HCG with TRT. I said I would give it a try, so I've been prescribed two months worth of both (low starting dosage on both). I get my first injection at the doctor's office this week.
