*After typing this out on my phone I figured I'd apologize upfront if this is TMI*
I now take 70 mg of T cyp twice weekly IM in my shoulders. When I was on hcg I took two 250iu shots sub q to the belly on the 4th and 5th day after my once weekly shot of 100 mg of T.
I didn't notice much of anything while on hcg for a few months and since I was not so concerned with preserving fertility or the drop in my ball size I stopped taking it.
Having had, and dealing with a very weak libido throughout this whole thing, and after reading here that hcg helps some guys with that, I recently mixed a vial I've had that was past the expiration date (I hadn't used it previously). I thought I'd check if a higher dose of this expired stuff would do anything. 500 iu the day after my T shot.
I've only taken this expired stuff twice this week, but thus far I've experienced a noticeable response which I only felt on the days that I took it. My body feels much more responsive but I don't feel like I retain that responsiveness for much longer after that first day. This has me considering if daily shots and a greater weekly dose will help get me to where I want to be.
I will deal with daily injections if that's what it takes. I've been taking some of the ingredients of Gene's stack for several weeks now. 1 mg of doxacard twice daily, 1.5 mg of citrulline twice daily, 10 mg generic cialis once daily.
Apart from helping lower my elevated blood pressure, the stack has helped with the quality of erection I can get but I still require a great amount of stimulation to get erect, and require a good amount still to maintain that erection as I start to lose it when I cease stimulation. This had me wondering if the generic cialis I got was junk, though I got it from a source that I read here is reliable.
A few weeks ago I was able to get an erection albeit of poor quality through oral stimulation but only maintained it through that constant initial stimulation. I didn't get as hard as I could and I couldn't maintain the erection I did get for sex.
The hcg appears to help with responsiveness that my body otherwise doesn't have on "my stack" alone. I can get harder than I can ever recall on my own through the same constant effort of stimulation that I usually require for an orgasm from an erection of just decent quality without hcg. It's like my body gets the signal that I'm "ramping up" on the days I do take hcg. It is my hope that I can maintain this level of responsiveness for and during sexual activity with a partner.
I'm excited and very hopeful that this combination will finally give me a libido to speak of. Just as a closing note, I can't be sure if my doctor ordered the correct tests for E on all of the previous labs I've had taken throughout my treatment, but he has previously told me that my results thus far have suggested I have low E. I've had readings ranging from 8 to a high of 17. This coupled with my total T of under 700 was the reasoning for upping my dose a couple of months ago.
I will have numbers to provide soon for a better picture of what is going on with me now, as I am just awaiting lab results.
