hcg

Hello everyone, I'm a 33 year old man from north west NJ. I was diagnosed with low T in 2014 by my primary care physician via blood work and put on 125mg testosterone cypionate a week divided into 2 shots. Fast forward to the summer of 2023 and I had to stop taking it sadly because one side...

Hi, thinking if going back on hcg even though now my levels are normal! 24nmol in last blood test! Mainly looking to boost libido and energy etc. Libido was good on hcg before! Doctor was willing to prescribe again! I know that hcg is supressive of lh and fsh so my question is will it act in a...

I recently started using HCG in addition to my TRT. In the first week, I feel significantly better, and my libido seems to be better as well. My doctor has suggested that I use this 6 weeks on, and then 6 weeks off. I am sort of unsure about this, given that I feel so much better with the HCG -...

Hi all, Looking for any recommendations/experiences of Pregnyl vs. the generic form from Fresenius Kabi USA LLC. My cost would be $115 for Pregnyl 10,000 IU vs about $35 for the generic. Thanks!

Hey guys, I’m 33 and have T in the 300-350 range with most low t symptoms. Been on a regimen of 100mg weekly for 2 months and it has helped. I don’t completely mind the thought of doing this for life but also think maybe I should try a restart to see if maybe I can produce normally after...

Hello, I am a 33 year old male and have low t. I have been on trt for the past 2 months but after meeting with a urologist today he put me on Clomiphene, given my concerns about fertility. The issue I am running into is that my insurance (Medicaid) won’t cover fertility drugs and the pharmacy...

I lowered my Test from 200 mg to 160 mg, and raised HCG from 500 iu this week to 1000 iu. If my total test range prior to this adjust was peak 1000 ng/dl, what would you estimate it to be on this protocol?

Hi, new guy here. After years of trying to combat declining T with diet, fat loss, weightlifting, etc. I finally decided to give TrT a try. At 73 years of age my T had been slowly declining to where I recently got the following report: T=328, SHBG=54.7, Free T = 4.63, Albumin 4.4. In...

Hi all! It’s refreshing to find a place to talk about these things with guys who have been there or are there currently. To start off I have average T and nothing really to complain about. However I have felt that I could use a boost if some kind. I have had intermittent bouts with ED and lack...

I have been having low test symptoms so my dr decided to do hcg mono at 1000 IU 3x a week for 2 months. When I asked him if pct is required he said no. Is hcg suppressive for 2 months use and do I need pct after?

As some of you know, I included again into my TRT protocol the HCG at 150IU daily using Pregnyl. I have used the HCG for 10 days straight now, and I’d like to know if you guys think I should wait a bit longer or this call for a dose reduction. I have good side effects but to keep the post...

I have recently restarted my HCG after almost 4 years of not using it. I have been using 150IU ED for 7 days now as I used to do for a long time. The HCG does feel different this time, not sure it is the brand vs the compounded or perhaps my system that was dormant for 4 years has something to...

I recently stopped taking testosterone after 8 weeks! Didn't feel good on it and thought I would be better coming off and doing what I can to optimize own levels as I've seen decent levels before without trt even though they have been low as well! Been off it nearly a month (was on 75 then...

I am making another run of HCG. I previously ran up to 500 iu twice weekly with no real benefits for the first year of TRT. Discontinued after the first year and atrophied within a couple months where I have been for the last 4 years. Dr Saya has me at 400 iu twice weekly and after 4 weeks...

I started a previous thread to unravel the mystery of why hCG improves libido in some men, which generated some good discussion but didn't reach any firm conclusions: https://www.excelmale.com/forum/threads/libido-hcg-vs-higher-t-e2.25785/ Now comes a youtube video from Cortex Labs that claims...

When is the best to inject HCG? Day before, day of test shot or day after? Also is it best take anastrozale day after test shot?

Hi everyone, I have been following this board for some time now and was looking to get some opinions on my situation. I am 35-year-old male suffering from post-finasteride syndrome for the last 15+ years. My symptoms are mostly sexual: mild ED, decreased EQ and decreased sensitivity. Below are...

Hello folks. After a couple of years of not using HCG, I’m going to restart it, my doc put me down for 150IU daily, which is what I was doing till 2020 when I stopped it. Something that didn’t come up during my consult, is the type of HCG that now I have access to, which is different than...

The long awaited time is here where I’m getting a Semen analysis next week in preparation for IVF. Wondering if maybe I should do a little extra hCG and HMG a day or two before it. What do you guys think? If everything looks good, I’ll go back in and freeze it and then I’m off of these drugs...

How long will it take for 500ius 2-3 times per week (if already in TRT) to kick in? What changes should I feel in my body or mood? If it were to raise E levels, what symptoms would I feel? Water retention, low libido, increased ED, fatigue, etc.?

42 years old and have been on TRT for 8-9 years. I’ve used larger doses for extended periods of time but use 250mg as my TRT dose. For years Ive just lost a lot of penis sensitivity, I just wrote it off as I was getting older. I’d only really be able to get off using a firm grip, very rarely...

Has anyone on here experienced increased hair loss from HCG while on TRT? If so, will it likely grow back once the HCG is stopped. I’m figuring the hormonal change might be the reason. I’m getting some frontal thinning and it’s no bueno.

In my 50's currently taking Test & Thyroid USP and I want to add HGH & possibly HCG. Anyone know any reputable Doctors/labs?

Hello everyone -- I'm a first-timer trying out HCG monotherapy, set to begin this week. I consulted the mixing guide on the forums and I'd like to ask if my math is correct. Calculations below. Protocol: 200iu HCG subQ M/W/F Components: 10,000iu HCG; bacteriostatic water; syringe Method: 1...

I've had problems with ED and anorgasmia since I began TRT 5 years ago. It took me almost four years to figure it out, but HCG gives me anorgasmia in doses above 250iu/2x week. Once I decreased from 2x 500iu to 2x 250iu, and then to 2x 200iu, the situation resolved. I just spent the past two...

I'm currently on 500iu 2x a week. My libido is still "meh" and my ball size isn't quite where it was. Not sure if the HCG I'm getting from reliablerx is crap, or I'm letting it sit in the fridge too long, but starting to wonder if I should be doing 500iu 3x a week, or is that going to screw me...

Hi Everyone, I'm glad I found this site and have read a bunch. I have symptoms of low T and visited a male clinic that wants me to get on on 140mg of test once a week along with an AI and Clomid. After what I read here I'm going to push back on the Clomid and AI and only accept the test. I'm...
