Hello everyone, I have read the stickies and found some useful information but not everything was covered.
This is my situation, Warning wall of text
19 yrs old
5’8’’
140 lbs
31 inch waist
body hair is existent, cant grow full bread but shave 3 times a week
carry fat in stomach, lost about 30 lbs from 1-1-16 to about 5-1-16 and have stabilized since
started feeling the symptoms of low t since my weight loss almost two years ago. Low energy, low libido, brain fog etc, so I went to doctor and he had bloods tested in late May 2016 which i will post below
Weight loss diet was extreme in a way, intake was about 1800 calories but not near starvation and I have been eating at about 2200 since then to try and get T levels up
erections are hard to come by, rarely get them
here are my bloods

That is all that I have in regards to bloods. My doctor prescribed 100 MG of Test Enanthate every 3 weeks which from what I understand is a bad idea. Before I start TRT does anyone think there is any chance I could get my levels back up to normal ? and also how do I convince my doctor to also give me HCG and have injections every week at 50-100mg?
Thanks
