I’ve been on test-e for about 3 years now. Recent partner and I have decided that in a year or two we will start trying for kids.
I have some hcg (powder, not mixed, not expired) but never took it because I felt good on my T regime. But I am considering cycling it to wake up the boys and making sure I don’t wait too long to do this.
I do bloodwork every 6-10 weeks, but just do test, Estradiol, and SHBG. I did full bloodwork with an endo before and after about three years ago.
But I’d like to make sure I’m tracking the right things with introducing hcg.
Also any recommendations on where to start with dosage? I will do research and search around, but if anyone wants to post here as well, that would help.
250IU 3x/week or 350IU 2x/week will do the trick. Sometimes, we drop the test dose slightly, not always.
HCG ups my TT significantly. 500IU 2X/week has me at 850 with no Test injections. It was 30 days since my last Test Cyp shot and still had 850 TT. Previously, the same Test dosage off HCG had me around 600ish, adding HCG at 500IU once a week put me up to 1100+ at trough.
My dr has told me that it takes 2 months at 500IU once a week to get your balls back to functioning. I’m sure the higher dosage that @highpull is suggesting will speed the process. HCG adds another variable to your routine.
Interesting. I don’t need to get them jump started super fast, so I’ll take it slow.
And yea, I was enjoying just taking one thing, so it’ll be a new balancing act once I add in hcg.
