Do you mean what do you mean by, HCG kills my prostate?
I mean that when I use hcg it causes my prostate to swell and makes it very uncomfortable
I have tried both 300 iu 3x and 500 iu 2x week. Within 6 hours of taking it my prostate swells and I feel like I need to urinate constantly

You could try less HCG. I do 400iu once a week and it keeps my balls plump and hanging. I feel better when I do this too. Have you tried taking 500 or less a week
Do you actually feel it swelling? Or do you mean just increased urination?

I had high hopes for all the benefits HCG brings some people but it didn't do anything for me. That said, without HCG, my libido is very strong, I can easily obtain an erection and I have superb orgasms. I'm sure much of that is because I have high Free T levels and a moderate amount of E2 with good overall blood markers. DHT is on the high side which probably helps. We we are all different in what our bodies need. I feel like I have conquered the TRT puzzle for me (at least for now) and feel pretty fortunate that I feel so good and healthy for someone my age.
I’ve probably asked u this before, so I apologize lol, but do u mind just posting ur full protocol? TIA

Currently:
24 mg daily Test Cypionate Sub Q.
100 mg of pregnenolone daily
A cream of 20 mg of progesterone, 15 mg of pregnenolone, and 15 mg 7 Keto DHEA
30 mg Zinc
5,000 IU Vitamin D
I normally inject shallow IM but for the last 9 weeks I have been injecting SubQ. In both cases injecting the same amount of cypionate, 24 mg. Trying to see if there is any difference in my hormones and other blood markers. I just had the labs done and am waiting on the results.

I apply the cream in the morning after I shower and my pores are open. I apply 1 pump between the inner forearm and sides. The take the 100 mg orally mid morning. I'll post the new blood work when I get the results.

Just for clarification; when you say 24mg per day, is that 12 units in an insulin syringe? Also, do you mind telling us your age? Thanks

Yes, 12 units in an insulin syringe, 24 mg. I am a young 62 years old.

Seems like that's a high dose. Im 57 and I inject 16mg EOD sub-q. Any higher and HCT goes up above 52.

Yes, some would say that it's high. I was up and down trying to find out what worked for me and settled at 24 mg. My HCT was always high and a problem before I went to ED and it seems to have settled down now.
I've been taking 14 units subq for about 2 years now twice a week, I'm 61. When I first started HRT morning wood came back and all was great, joint pain went away, flexibility increased, muscle mass, all the great stuff. The last 3-4 months, no wood, decreased libido, etc. Generally feeling crumby and depressed. Did you go through any of this? Any thoughts? What are your Total T levels? Mine are currently low/mid at 31.4 nmol/L (Canadian, sorry, anybody have a good converter?)

Well, I can't say that I don't ever get grumpy but not often. I am normally in a pretty good mood, had great libido and have morning wood every morning and throughout the night. I can't remember when libido and morning wood were not there. It's been several years, probably since I went on the daily injections. It just seemed to level everything off. Maybe as we get older we need a little more? If it were me I'd probably run some labs ( i run them every four months) and see were you stood. But, what is most important is how you feel. Since you don't feel at the top of your game I would probably increase my dose a bit, maybe 2mg, to see if that makes a difference. What do you have to lose? If you don't do anything your likely to feel that way for another 3 to 4 months. Not worth it in my mind.
