    How Delicate is Reconstituted HCG?

    How delicate is reconstituted HCG? I know this question has been answered with respect to HCG powder. And supposedly reconstituted peptides such as GLP-1s and HGH are not as delicate as widely thought. But is this true for reconstituted HCG?

    Anyone have experience using Natesto?

    Been having low T symptoms now for a while and I want to maintain fertility. Have used HCG monotherapy which raised my bloods but no symptom improvement. My baseline T is always around 500-570. I am using Natesto now for 3 days with no symptom improvement. How long does this take to work?

    hi there, I did try HCG however it gave me palpatations (and slight agitated energy, perhaps partially from increase T or estrogen within 30-40 min of first use) even at low 100iu doses. it was a less used brand that was suppost to last for 60 days vs pregnyl 30.. and i wonder if it is slightly...

    Can't get it up... Ferritin that is. Blood issues after 5 years. HCG related question. Labs attached.

    I have been on TC for over 5 years with varying results, mostly positive until the last year. I have had to do a few blood donations within the last 3 years due to rising HCT. It dropped my ferritin levels to 10, range 30 - 400. I can't get my ferritin levels up. My Mayo PCP said that if I take...

    How bad is a hCG lapse for Fertility?

    I'm on TRT + hCG (Pregnyl) + FSH (urofollitropin). How bad is a lapse in hCG for fertility? About 2 weeks. My Pregnyl Rx got messed up so I ran out. Maybe the urofollitropin has some LH in it??

    HCG Timeline and Dosage

    Tramadol & HCG

    Hello all. I’ve read about tramadol decreasing testosterone and LH by up to 40% in chronic users. No mention of dose in the studies however. Does anyone know if this would affect an HCG user?

    I’m restarting 500 iu x 2 weekly in addition to my twice weekly t shots. I’ve been on trt for 5 years but the libido is gone. Shbg is only 35, and T numbers are good as well as e2.

    Could hCG or LH spikes cause blood sugar drops??

    OK, so this is totally based on my own experience… I’ve noticed that I have huge, sudden drops in blood sugar (as much as 140 mg/dL) a few minutes after each hcg sub-q shot. The drops don’t last long though so they’re not a big concern- my glucose stabilizes within an hour or so on its own. But...

    Cost for HCG from Compounding Pharmacy

    I am paying $360 for what they say is a 20 week supply of HCG (given twice weekly). Is this a decent price or can it be had for less money via a different provider than I am using?

    Does HCG suppress to the same extent as exogenous testosterone? I want to take HCG for fertility reasons, but when I come off, will have low T levels?

    I want to run HCG in order to improve my fertility numbers. I’ve got 3 10,000iu bottles of HCG that my doctor prescribed for me, but I’m concerned that taking this will suppress my own testosterone production…leaving me low T or a need for a “PCT” once I stop the HCG injections. Am I off base...

    Bacteriostatic water is not available here, nobody knows what bacteriostatic water is. And there are few available online but not reputed source and it can contain anything and I don't want to risk the HCG. So, my question is can I use sterile water to reconstitute HCG, is there a way to keep...

    TRT and Pregnenolone

    Hello, What is the general opinion here on the forum about supplementing Pregnenolone while on trt. Especially if one is not using HCG. I cannot currently afford HCG, it is very expensive in my area. I will add that I feel pretty good on my current protocol of just Test cyp. But wondering if...

    Getting sleepy after T-cyp injections?

    I was on Androgel until last year, when it seemingly stopped absorbing so i was switched to compounded cream. Well, it worked great for two weeks, but then it wouldn't absorb consistently either. So the doctor switched me to T-Cyp in grapeseed oil, which I started last week. I'm now doing T-cyp...

    Enlarged Prostate with Symptoms

    I'll try to make this brief. 46 y/o I was on HCG + minor anastrozole therapy for 10 years. Never an issue. It started to grow ineffective. I started T Cyp slowly alongside HCG + anastrozole. Did this for about 4 months. Never felt quite right. I was having other issues related to a kidney...

    A treatment candidate to reduce HPTA suppression under TRT. Possible hCG alternative?

    TL;DR: Some research suggests that echinacoside may complement a SERM in reducing TRT-induced negative HPT-axis feedback at the hypothalamus. Background: In testosterone replacement therapy, elevated levels of testosterone and estradiol apply negative feedback to the hypothalamus. This...

    From 200mg test to 150mg but....

    Hey guys, I was doing 4x per week 50 mg test cyp and 500 iu hcg split over those days. I decided I wanted to try lowering dose due to bloating and what Ive read about 200mg being a little cookie cutter and overprescribed. I feel better at 3x per week 50 mg keeping 500 iu hcg split over 4x, but...

    TRT vs Clomid

    Had my urologist just recommend clomid for low T. A couple months ago when I saw my labs and PCP, we both agreed that some sort of TRT would be appropriate. I made appt with urologist but he couldn't see me for over 6 weeks. I did not want to wait. So I started looking into clinics. I was so...

    Is HCG still available?

    I go through Defy Medical for my TRT and used HCG with it for a long time. Is it just no longer available? They switched me to Pregnyl which is $260 for a little bottle. This is becoming unaffordable. Are there alternatives and is there any way to get HCG? Thanks, Paul

    Using HCG alone for Low Testosterone

    I have had good testosterone results from using HCG alone (and not using testosterone). However, things are still not perfect, and I am not sure about the best next steps. First, let me tell you my story, which might be helpful for others: A year and a half ago, I had COVID and lost my...

    Semen Analysis Results

    I was on 70mg test cyp and 750 IU hCG twice a week when I took these. I'm planning on upping hCG to 1000 IU, probably decreasing testosterone, and adding 125 IU FSH twice a week. I will redo my semen analysis in 4 months. Anyone have any suggestions? Should I alter any of those doses or...
