Starting TRT, Need Your Opinion

If you had primary you wouldn’t have been prescribed HCG, if your testes are damaged it will do little to nothing. Secondary and tertiary hypogonadism are the most common, tertiary is when the hypothalamus fails to send enough GnRH to the pituitary gland resulting in lower LH and FSH since the pituitary isn’t being properly stimulated. Most doctors don’t bother in diagnosing whether it’s secondary and tertiary hypogonadism since treatment is exactly the same. So there are a lot who believe they are secondary when in fact their not and will never know.

Primary = testes failure.
Secondary = Pituitary failure.
Tertiary = Hypothalamus failure.

Hello everyone, so this is what seems to be my protocol.

First of all I want to say that I asked my doctor for 100mg/mL of Cypionate, with 250 IU of hCG and an AI. He said yes and asked me to pick up my prescription at the pharmacy the week after.

And today this is what I picked up at the pharmacy:

  • On the box: Delatestryl, Testosterone Enanthate 200mg/mL.
    On the sticker which was put on the box at the pharmacy: Testosterone Enanthate 1000mg/5mL. For injection: 0.5 mL once weekly as directed.

  • On the box: Gonadotrophine Chorionique. 10000 unités USP.
    On the sticker: 10 ML Chorionic Gonadotropin HCG.
    For Subcutaneous injection: 500 Units (0.5 mL) twice weekly.

I do not really understand. This seems entirely different from what is recommended anywhere on T Nation. I was thinking about getting two SC injections of T cypionate a week, something like 100mg/mL that I would divide by two.

I need your opinion about it please.

0.5 mL from 200mg/mL is 100 mg weekly. Your doctor could have overlooked it since you’re injecting HCG twice weekly. You could always inject your test twice weekly, just let your doctor know so you don’t run out of syringes.

Excuse me but why would I run out of syringes?
I am still not sure about this but is it safe to inject my hCG with my T in the same syringe? I have read that I should not do this because of T being oily and hCG being in water.

If you start injecting more often than prescribed you will run out of syringes before your next refill. Some draw in HCG and T and inject everything at once, you never reuse a syringe once it’s already been used.

Why don’t we keep everything in one thread, your doctor dropped the ball on ordering you syringes.

Hello,

My doctor gave me this protocol:

  • Monday: Testosterone E. 0.3 mL and hCG 0.5 mL.

  • Friday: Testosterone E. 0.2 mL and hCG 0.5 mL.

  • The testosterone bottle is 200mg/mL and I inject 100mg per week.

  • I inject 500 IU of hCG per week.

Is this a good regimen?
