Minimum Effective Dose of HCG While on TRT?

Just curious what you guys have found in your personal experience with this. The last thread I could find discussing this is from 2010.

HCG skyrockets my E2 for whatever reason, bloated within 3 hours, lethargic, etc (confirmed 3-4x with next day bloods). Has anyone had success with like 100-150 IU EOD or even more spaced out for instance with maintaining testicular size?

I am not aware of anyone dosing that low, but 250IU 3x/week and 350IU 2x/week have been effective.

Iā€™ve used 150iu MWF and as low as 50iu MWF with the same effect. HCG definitely spikes e2.

Same effect on fertility, or just the atrophy?

Never checked fertility, I mainly used it for atrophy, sensation, and load volume. I found it effective for those at a low dose.

I needed 1000 IU thrice per week with TRT for fertility for my kids. Atrophy didnā€™t reverse at all.

When I did a short stint of HCG mono therapy I was prescribed 3000 IU thrice per week.

I canā€™t see 100 to 150 IU thrice per week doing much.
