I'm about done with my Endocrinologist

[made2last]

my total test is at 297, free test at 9, in 2012 total test was 304, no free test was done (pcp ordered it) my endo now wants to get another blood test 8 weeks from now because I used some DAA last summer!! this time he's also testing for SHBG. Am I better off finding another endo? urologist? pcp?

You want an endo. Do you question this current one when they make outlandish requests like this and the reasoning behind it? I went through two endos before finding one that was reasonable and actually helpful. But this only happened because I questioned them and took charge of my own health and well being.

Don't be embarrassed or hesitant to call them out when necessary.

It's just frustrating, I've been dealing with symptoms since I hit 28, I'm 35. I guess I can wait 2 more months, but I just don't feel confident about bringing up stuff like a clomid cycle to restart my test production instead of going on axiron for life (what he likes to prescribe) and I have even less confidence a pcp would know about clomid for TRT purposes.
