    Timing bloodwork with ED injections?

    Hey all. I have been taking 15mg Test E per day, and ~150iU of HCG Monday and Thursday (this is as frequent as I can inject without experience a ton of high E2 sides like acne, water retention, etc.). The HCG has helped with penile sensitivity, but my libido and erections are still not where I...

    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.

    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?

    Need advice on HCG and side effects.

    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...

    TRT with HCG & Hair Loss

    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.
