I wanted to thank you again for your response. I was going back over the responses, and I though yours was the most relevant, since we have the same prescription for TC. I was wondering with your HCG at 375 IU M-W-F is that EOD or 3x weekly? Also, and this is a weird question. I was wondering if you were a younger and trim guy or like me older, and about 15lbs over weight. I hurt my knee working out, and I have been sidelined for about six months, and as a result of a stagnant life style I gained some belly fat. Since I believe I have been responding to TC and HCG on the higher E2 side I was interested in knowing if your good results are the result of being a younger and trim guy? I mention it due to the fat holding more aromatize cells which would result in higher E2 scores which may explain my situation and I believe should correct once I return to the gym and drop all the body fat.
Thanks again for your responses, your helping me get this thing dialed in.
The HCG is 3 X weekly. I’m 59 and my body fat is anything but ideal. Need to lose 25lbs. My E2 was a bit high at 49, ideal ay labcorp is <35. I take .25 AI once a week but might up it to 2 after blood is back in a week. No High E2 symptoms, but do hold some extra water weight.
Just watched a video on YouTube for a channel I like, and the dude has gone through a few clinics. His current one has him on 250IU/week (once not twice) and they’re claiming that’s enough.
It’s got me curious to try it again, to be honest. At “typical” HCG doses I felt horrible.
250 UI per week will get your balls working 2-3 days max, the other time they will be atrophing. Also you will feel different in these 2-3 days and your hormones will swing. HCG has a very short half life and works pretty intense in boosting hormones. Nothing like the steady and slow build up of cypionate and enanthate
I personally like my balls working all the time on TRT and found my best HCG doses is 100 UI daily. The issue is it raises my test and e2 too much, but I think Im ok with that. I really feel much better when my body is producing own testosterone, sex is also much better.
Thanks for the info. Personally I love HGC, I get a great libido bounce the moment I take it, but it also raises my E2 to the point where I can lose my hard on. I don’t have to tell you, horny and soft sucks. I was talking with a guy Tony who likes using 375iu HCG 3 x weekly. So yesterday I tried one dose at 375 and shortly after I was to high on E2, I even took a .25 anastrozole. However this morning I got up and my libido was cranked up, which was sweet. I heard a few guys say that if you find a dose that you like, not to worry about the E2 since your body will adapt if it’s steady dosing. My doc says 100iu daily which I haven’t tried yet, I like higher doses for the libido bounce. I’m trying to find the lowest daily dose, and still get a libido bounce. I was also thinking that if I dial up my cardo workout and loose more fat I could handle a little more HCG since I would have less aromatase enzymes, due to the fat loss. I think that is right?
Were you getting a libido bounce on your 100HCG daily dose?
I’m going for the lowest dose and still get a libido bounce. Some guys are using 375IU HCG 3 x weekly, and doing ok with E2 at 49. Another guy is doing 100IU Daily and he really likes that, so if you want to bump it up some you probably could go the 100IU daily and be ok. I don’t know if its enough of a dose, to get a libido bounce or not. Also, you probably have larger loads with the increase in HCG.
I tried a 375IU HCG yesterday and I got a nice libido bounce, but I can tell it’s to high for me. I’m going to wait a day or two and try 200IU daily. I think a smaller steadier dose will minimize the E2 “Shock” and perhaps keep me in line with chubby boys, good load and libido bounce, daily!
Sorry for the delay. I’ve been on TRT for almost 6 years and always had a problem getting my dosing dialed in. Finally the doc told me about compounded T-Cream and I love it! I was on 25% at first and it was also to high so I dropped to 20% and I think it’s perfect. It’s a twice daily cream so I don’t get E2 spikes like I did on injections. Also, since the E2 is on the lower side I have “E2 room” for HCG. I just tried dosing 375IU but it was to high although I got a great libido bounce. However, I’m going to drop to 200IU daily and see how that works. I’m going to wait a few days so this 375 dose and the E2 can clear out and then try the 200IU.
I take about 100iu EOD. The original TRT protocols were basically plucked from thin air. HCG was primarily a fertility drug at high doses. Then the bodybukiding community took over using it as a PCT. Ideas like ‘You need a minimum of 250ius 3 times/week’ were literally plucked from thin air. Do some research on how much leutinizing hormone Is produced in a naturally functionjng body. Bottom line is that what works is what works. And myself and others see benefits with smaller doses.
You know your body best, but I have to tell you that the compounded testosterone cream (TC) is amazing compared to the injections. Like you I felt like carp all the time, I messed with dosing from 200mg to 100mg and I was never all that horny, and my E2 was high. Finally my doc mentioned Testosterone Cream. The creams won’t spike your E2 like injections do, so you even all the time. I no longer take anastrozole, and I can handle HCG much better, which is why I’m asking about dosing. You apply a small portion to your ball sack, twice daily and right after I apply it I’m horny in a few minutes, and I get to do it again 12 hours later. No injections, no roller coaster T rides, I think it’s great. You might want to give it a try. Just make sure you getting it compounded don’t get the stuff premade from some pharma company.
That is excellent news. I was concerned that 100IU wouldn’t do any more than prevent atrophy. I know one higher doses the bounce can carry over to the next day does the 100IU also have that benefit?
