I need to clarify the hcg. I may have been mistaken on the prescribed dosage. I never saw the hcg vial they used at the clinic. They would just come in with a prefilled syringe.
So when I first started I was told I was taking 50iu, it was increased to 150iu/week.
I currently self inject at home and the hcg vial was a 6,000iu freeze dried. I mixed it with 6ml of bacteriolistic water.
This is where I was confused because they said my prescribed dosage was in units, not international units.
So 6000iu in 6ml’s would equal 600 units. I did not know this until I did the math myself.
So when I was taking 1.5ml/week split up .5ML MWF, I was actually taking 500iu 3x/week so a total of 1500iu/week.
But my testes were still aching like crazy on this dose.
This is when they suggested 25units/day(250iu) or .25 ml/day.
Does this make sense to anyone but me? Wouldnt my testes stop aching with a decent dose?
All their stuff comes compounded from Empower Pharmaceuticals. I looked them up and think they’re legit so maybe my nuts are just dead and gone.
I really wouldnt care if they did as long as they didnt ache like this and my scrotum was normal.
You think maybe I just have MSB(massive sperm buildup) a disorder from not ejacaculating enough. I’ll add that I honestly dont masterbate and sometimes go a week or so without sex with the wife. I know it sounds dumb, but I remember before ever taking testosterone my testes would ache if I didnt ejaculate often enough.
You’ve already gotten good answers to your original post. I agree. Stop the arimidex. Honestly I’d stop the HCG too for now unless it’s really painful. It’s easier to dial in T only then figure the rest out later, though I understand not wanting your balls to hurt.
The other point of view is if they still hurt anyways, then why bother with the HCG for now?
@iron_yuppie dude you’re super helpful- but this new stuff you’re on (remind me what its called?), its making you blunt as fcuk in your responses. Well comical to notice it as an outside observer.
You’re super helpful and I’ve properly appreciated all the help you’ve given me since I’ve been on here… there’s a noticeable change fella- genuinely!
MENT (7a-Methyl-19 Nortestosterone). It’s good stuff. And yeah, I’m noticing that it has straightened the path between point A and point B considerably. I seem to have a focus that’s been lacking before. Maybe I should dial back my responses a little bit. I don’t want to give anyone the impression that I’m trying to be a jerk. That usually happens naturally and without any chemical assistance.
I wasn’t offended by any means. In my line of work, you have to be tough or you’ll get chewed up and spit out.
BTW, Ive laid off the anastrozole this last week and have been researching how to restart my natural production.
I still have the AI sides, and my left side of my chest feels likes it being squeezed making me constantly aware of how much harder it is for me to breathe.
So of course, being the borderline hypochondriac I may be, start researching HBH, chest tightness, etc etc, which causes more anxiety making chest pains worse.
This is at 2am when I should be sleeping. I took one of my prescribed lisonprils hoping it would help me avoid a heart attack as I was almost certain might’ve happened.
It’s because of all this I feel like if I started smoking weed again, it would help my anxiety. I have thought about trying CBD oil, but it sounds like it is hard to get a prescription where I live.
I did take 2000 iu’s of hcg 2 days ago to keep the boys from aching so much and it worked. I’m about to take 2000 more today because they are already aching.
I’m still waiting to get into the endocrinologist. But I want to try coming off TRT completely while taking clomid and hcg.
I’m supposed to give myself another dose of 120mg of trt test tomorrow but I have chosen not to.
I feel to blame for my reckless past and for going to a TRT clinic for the quick fix.
I appreciate all the feedback I get from you and the other guys especially because I am a stranger and you and the other guys are trying to help.
Lower your dose. I was on 150 pw and had backne, popping joints, greasy skin etc. Went to 100 pw split into 50 every 3.5 days. Joints better, test in top of the range. Morning wood, no achy balls but I do have 30% shrinkage. Just makes my cock look bigger . Went subq in the butt cheek. Easy. 5 years experience. One year subq. Dont read too much into it. Start low and be patient.
