HCG-lower sex drive

daddy · Jan 10, 2019

Hey Guys,

Question:

I am on low levels of TRT and recently got on HCG (trying to have a kid). Been on HCG for 5 weeks now and have noticed much lower sex drive. No more "morning wood" and less desire to have sex. Lifestyle has remained the same. I would have thought the exact opposite. Anyone know anything about this?

Your E2 has probably risen due to the addition of HCG.

How much HCG and how often? You do need some labs to confirm though...Estradiol Ultrasensitive LC/MS/MS...its just speculation beyond that.

I put 4ml's (water) in a 8000iu vial. I am taking .25cc EOD. How do I lower E2 levels?

Your Estradiol could have potentially increased. You should try to have an Estradiol level between 20-30 and you can achieve that through a medication called Anastrozole.

Aromasin is another option and doesn't have that horrible E2 rebound effect after stopping anastrozole. Start out on the lowest dose possible or you risk knocking estrogen to zero, not fun.

A 1/10 or even 1/20th tablet of aromasin is more than enough for me as I'm an AI over-responder.
