A lot of guys recently are finding out that they do really well on lower doses of HCG than we’ve been used to over the yeard, while avoiding side effects from it. Lots of guys are using doses as low as 250-500iu’s/ week with good success. As far as fertility goes, guys might need closer to 1000iu’s/ week. But maybe even fertility wise the lower doses can do the trick. Don’t think anyone’s really tried using the lower doses as far as fertility goes
I'm not trying HCG for the fertility aspects, though that's fine if it does help. I've read, and watched videos from TRT doctors, whereby many have found a small percentage of men on TRT (lkke 5% - 10%) required HCG and that little "kick" it gives to your own testosterone production and reproductive system in order to reap the benefits of TRT. In other words, on TRT only, these men still had issues with libido, ED, etc... and when they added HCG, the TRT benefits were then only fully realized. I'm not sure if I'm in that small percentage, but I want to find out. I've been on TRT since the 3rd week of November 2022. The first 3 weeks on TRT were nothing short of spectacular. I was absolutely stunned and amazed at how every aspect of my life got better starting the 2nd day after my first 100 MG's Testosterone Cypionate shot. My sleep went from a 2 to a 10. My libido skyrocketed to the point I was having sex and / or getting off 6+ times a day. My energy levels increased and I literally felt like jumping out of bed in the morning. The only complaint I had was I felt great on days 1 thru 5 on my weekly 100 MG's shot, but I didn't from late day 5 thru day 7,and than it started all over again with my weekly shot. I explained this to my doctor and she decided I should try splitting the dose in half and doing 2 x 50 MG's shots instead of once weekly. This definitely helped as I had no more bad days or low days. But starting week 4, everything changed. My libido starting dropping off, my ED came back, and I have not felt good since. I initially believed it must've been high estrogen as I've been very sensitive to it in the past when doing full cycles and my nipples were sensitive and painful if I bumped them or pushed hard on them. I started taking Arimedex from an UGL. I took 1/2 MG's twice weekly. After 3 weeks I noticed absolutely no changes whatsoever and my nipples were still sensitive and painful. I decided I'd try taking 3 MG's Arimedex weekly, and my nipples sensitivity did go away, but I didn't feel any better. Still having no libido and ED issue's. I couldn't stay hard and trying to get off was absolutely brutal. I'd be completely soft and still tugging and finally, I might get off. I thought maybe I required more androgens, more testosterone, so I went up to 200 MG's weekly, but injecting small 14 IU's daily instead. Nothing changed after several weeks so I went for blood work. My totals were 1134, free around 340, Prolactin at like 4, but I totally crashed my estrogen. It was under "2" using a
sensitive Estradiol test. It's been 1 month since I took any AI and I'm still taking daily 14 IU's / 200 MG's Testosterone Cypionate a week. I still have the same issues; no libido, ED, and difficulty getting off, although all have gotten ever so slightly better and now I'm starting to feel nipple sensitivity again so I'm thinking my estrogen must've climbed a little bit back to normal. I'm going to get another Estradiol test later this week and start the HCG next week and I hope I can see some serious increase in libido and less ED problems.
