What are the negative effects of the HCG??
I guess, I’m pretty sensitive to hormonal changes or don’t react, can’t handle them very well. Too much test even at TRT doses gives me a lil peaky/anxiety AND WITH HCG! I guess it’s the spike in oestrogen that effects me. It just really throws me off. It’s
hard to pin point or explain in words. Just makes me, not me, to the point there looks like there is something wrong with me. I’m a gemini, we tend to wear our heart on our sleeves so I visibly look not the best, sought of hungover or like I have issues. It’s
just makes me feel down, lethargic, and I struggle to be my outgoing self on it. This comes on strong within about 24 hours and tapers off from there. Fully passing in about 3, 4 - 5 days before I’m sought of needing another dose.
This also takes a toll on me as I’m sought of up then down from it. Then have to level out, feel good again before I need another dose.
Anyway it’s not the end of the world, but it is getting to a point where I need another solution or something.
Im trying different things for testicular fullness via other remedies.
Today I ordered some Damiana Leaves, I read these can help along with zinc picolinate, vit D and humanofort. Humanofort can also lower good cholesterol, so I have to be careful. But I’m going to see if this combination can help with testicle size whilst on
TRT.
Is it possible that you are just spiking your testosterone too high with the HCG? Maybe drop your T dose and bit and see if it’s any better.
I guess it’s possible. Doesn’t feel like that though. I’m on 110mg a week now. When I was 180 a week i handled it a little better but would still feel off. I dare say and won’t be trying but maybe on a larger amount “cycle” amount of test, I may not feel the negatives of the hCG with the test to est ratio being greater. But that’s not what I’m about.
And whether its bro science or not. I’ve tried combating the negatives (in my eyes) est spike or some other hormone spike with anastrozole, but it doesn’t work. The est raised from hCG for me anyway couldn’t be tamed with anastrozole.

Any update @sa22c?
On what exactly? I stopped TRT about 12 months ago. I’ve just learnt to live with my low testosterone levels. It’s easier for me than the roller-coaster of hormones.
Thanks for your reply. Did your atrophy reverse?
Yeah I have testicular atrophy from steroid use in my late teens. Then on TRT it was getting quite bad again unless hCG was used throughout but after stopping TRT everything is back to how I was pre TRT. So low test levels and my half atrophied nuts from steroid use. Everything came back solid after a few months, tbh when I look back, it took about 12 months off TRT to fully feel normal. I felt fine after a couple of months, first 2 months were tough, then you feel good but too fully feel normal, took me around 12 months, abiut the same time I was on TRT. Not sure if you’re on TRT or whatnot, just putting it out there =)
