Not for me. I’m actually prescribed 1,000iu 3x week but it’s expensive so I use less
Interesting that it solved ED issues. Were you on top of your blood work to spot any major differences?
No major differences just increased TT and E2 as expected. My best guess is that intratesticular T is important for in terms of sexual function.

It’s not. I use 1000 IU thrice per week with 100 mg T.
This comment is way out of line. I hope the monitors step in. You’ve made your point that you don’t agree with the poster, why make suck low ball remarks. I simply do not agree with you either and my 10+ years of TRT + HCG tells me very different story. I previously posted published clinical studies on the subject. I suggest you read them rather than trying to be Dr. “I know it all” from reading forum posts.
Oh, and tell me exactly where you received your advanced degree in reproductive endocrinology?

Subq or IM? I currently do my TRT subq and was going to do the same with HCG.
I’m at 1,200 per week and feeling better than T alone. Makes sense based on the findings.
Just a comment about the advice you receive in this forum. You need to apply a heavy filter on all advice that is given (including my own). Most of us here are not medical professionals and some have much more experience, knowledge, and education in reproductive endocrinology than others. Some simply parrot what they’ve read in other forums and strings with no real clinical evidence or education to support them.
You might want to check out the credential thread to help you apply appropriate filters to the advice given. Since there has been some conflicting advice given in this particular thread, I offer you this link to SYSTEMLORD’S credentials (TRT Credentials Thread - #15 by systemlord). You simply need to scroll down a couple posts to find mine.
I make no claim of knowing it all, or being a medical professional, but I try to back what I say up with clinical study evidence and/or my own personal experience over 10+ years on TRT and I always offer advice as my own opinion.
I honestly can’t say I feel any different at 1000 IU/week than I do at 500 IU per week. I use that higher dose simply because testicular atrophy is an important cosmetic aspect of TRT that I prefer to avoid. Fertility is not important to me.
There are some here that caution against higher doses because they claim that it causes high E2 levels, which certainly could affect mood if it were true. However, in my experience and numerous lab tests over the years, my E2 levels have never been a problem for me. The only E2 control I use are label doses of a supplement called DIM (an extract of cruciferous vegetables.
