HCG Mono Therapy Dose Frequency

Hi there,

I have been on testosterone and HCG for the last 2 years but I have decided for various reasons (hematocrit being one) to switch to just HCG. I could have gone to Testosterone only but I am in the UK and only have access to Sustanon.

I was wondering if anyone has any personal experience with HCG monotherapy? I am two weeks in and i have to say my libido is 0. Thankfully my mood and energy are otherwise fine. Does it take time for the body to naturally start producing its own testosterone? I feel like I have been running on previously injected Sustanon the last 2 weeks.

Also i am taking 3 doses a week of HCG. Its a 5000 unit bottle diluted with 2ml water., I inject 0.2ml each shot.

I am a 29 year old male

My LH has been completely shut off as a result of the sustanon which I feel might be significant.

Does HCG have a good half life? I have always taken it three days in a role. I’m wondering if this is why I dont feel great? Would it be better to do Sunday, Tues, Thursday for example? Rather than sunday, monday, tuesday.

Thanks

Not really. About a week to ten days to notice it.

If good means long, no. Roughly 24-36 hours.

Yes.

HCG will do the same because HCG is HPTA suppressive, but will get the testes making testosterone.

HCG mono isn’t always the best option for the treatment of hypogonadism, because it only stimulates half of the testicles, therefore not activating all hormonal pathways.

Typically men report feeling better after transitioning from HCG mono to TRT.

and it will continue to stay “shut off” while on the HCG. if it’s only been 2 weeks then I’d guess you are still running on injected test and that’ll take another 1-3 weeks to all clear out. HL of HCG is around 48 hours I think.

I have upper mid-range levels with 600IU every other day and generally feel good while on HCG mono therapy.

Would like to investigate the link between increased prolactin and HCG further. Erections weren’t the best even when e2 was in check. Much better on T only with HCG only used every couple of months for a few weeks at 500 IU per week.
