Part 2 of my previous message (MRI)
My Doc was willing to start me on a compounded Estrogen/Testosterone cream, added DHEA (already take Progesterone, Thyroid, Hydrocortisone) and will be doing some B12 injections on a regular basis. We'll see where this leads over the next few days.
Anyway, in addition to all these supplements, he wanted me to start reading up on HCG therapy as a possible option of treatment down the road. In addition to the fertility factor (no, I'm not looking for that reason-uterine hysterectomy 2 years ago), he said it has a tendency to "jump start" or "reset" the Pituitary Gland thus giving the body the hormones it would naturally produce on it's own again.
I did some quick searching last night and mostly found just the infertility jargon and got tired of skimming. Has anyone had any experience with this?

HCG does not jump start the pituitaries production of LH, it suppresses it. HCG therapy is rarely used in women, because doctors are still in the dark ages. I don't think I've run into a women on any board who said they use it.
