Been a strength athlete for many years. 2006 had microfracture surgery on right knee and that took a few years for the cartilage to fill in. Got the body weight down to 240# and started training only to get rear-ended in 2008. Still suffering from that and hard to get motivated.

Doctor wants to talk with me about creams. I searched the site for cream vs injection protocol but could not find anything. Thought I saw something awhile ago where creams were not as effective.

Any help is appreciated.

So your doctor wants to put you on a 6 month “cycle” of test/hcg, and then totally drop the test and see if Clomid will restart you? And this is without even checking your LH/FSH to see if that will work in the first place? Get a new doctor.

Thanks PC. Doctor is fired and I’m searching for a more reputable one.

Thanks to all contributors for the great info and feedback.
