No just up your dosage and see if you feel better. If you do then you have found the issue and THEN you can use lab work to fine tune things.
I’ll just add this…
For me, I found myself constantly trying to dial in my numbers to normalize general arousal…usually it wasn’t a problem but at times it did come and go, wax and wane. I kept micro-adjusting things…T levels (total and free), DHT, and E2. And every time I thought I had it dialed in, eventually problems would return and go away. I started to realize it wasn’t any of the things I had been keeping track of. For me it turned out that for whatever reason, my prolactin levels had been increasing, waxing and waning.
So my doc put me on caber, and oh oh my God, it was too much of an improvement…it was like being 15 again but worse! I had to back off the dosage until I just had normal “drive” and sensitivity again. Mind you, it takes a few weeks to notice any dose changes, so you have to be patient and aware.

It’s way more complicated than most people want to believe. They want to say it’s all about Free T, or all about free E2, or whatever this weeks fad is. It is fairly individual and far from straight forward sometimes.
My E2 is about 32 and my HCG dose is 50 units ED. My TT is 820
Yes same for me my prolactin was increasing and my doctor put me on caber and it was working great for a while but then I think my prolactin dropped to low and it had adverse effects. Now I’m trying to lower the dosage to see if it will level out. But even so that helped with erections and libido but not really sensitivity. My skin on my penis is getting very dry as well. I have no idea what’s going on when it comes to that aspect.
Hmm, I’m not so sure about this. There really has to be a certain sperm count (I forgot the value my urologist said) for there to be a good chance there will be a pregnancy.
Good chance is different, one good swimmer can get it done but the odds are against you getting one into position with a low count.

whoah what? That’s some serious shit, never heard that you can get CJD from using HCG, how does that even happen? That’s a fatal disease.
It has never happened, they just think it is possible. So not sure if you really can.
If it was something that has actually happened, I would imagine they would halt production of it pretty quickly. Or find a way to make it safer like what the other poster mentioned about using the Recombinant HCG instead of uHCG. That would be sad as hell to hear about.

Shoot I did mean to post this here.
There is so much scientific inaccuracy in this “sounds intellectual to the uneducated” thread, I’m just going to comment on that fact and not spend the next three hours correcting it.
Everyone appreciates your beneficent largess regarding a 5 month old thread. Get over yourself.
Ya I expected a few bruises from that one.
Why, is the age of the thread of import? The studies were from the 70’s and 80’s… Three months doesn’t seem too long.
I’d hazard a guess that the thread is disused because so few members can interact with advanced (even pseudo-advanced) discussion.
Take the first link referenced. I wonder how many people here can truly comprehend and assimilate post-grad level molecular biology?
The problem is a lack of conclusive information, the opinion of a former poster who was claiming to be an endo featured in the thread (and he is not an endo it turns out) and everyone kind of lost interest.
Been on hcg mono 800 twice a week and serms for a year . All seems good
your on HCG and Serms ??? don’t they have the opposite effect ???
Depends some doctors use them together
How so? Serms basically block some estrogen receptors. My understanding it is stops the slight chance of gyno. My estrogen is pretty high die to my increase in test. It hasn’t effected me in any way I can tell yet.
Oh I thought that seems increase your LH production and HCG inhibits it
