Should I lower my dosage of HCG when I lose weight?

[fm7live]

I was dialed in with 100 mg test enanthe a week plus 500 iu hcg a week some months ago. This worked really well for me! It took some time to dial in HCG, starting at 700 iu a week, but got e2 sides (feeling hot, itching and pain in nipples, overly emotional, headache etc). Lowered to 630 iu, then 540 iu before I got to 490 which seemed to be the sweet spot for me. I am pinning HCG daily btw.

Also I just want to note my LH on the bloods before starting TRT was 1.9 (ref range: 1.7-8.6), so it seems my testicles are sensitive. This put me then at 500 ng/dl.

I weighted 107kg (235 lb) when I started my TRT journey. Today I weigh 97 kg (214 lbs), but at the same time I went from training with 100kg in bench to 120 etc so I have probably added some kgs of muscle as well!

When I was dialed in my levels were 850 ng/dl. Two weeks ago my test came back at 1150 ng/dl. I paused for some days from high e2 sides and lowered my test dosage. I continued with 490 iu hcg. Today, I started to get high e2 sides again. So what I am wondering right now is if it would be best for me to just drop the HCG dose instead?

What do you guys think? Is someone more sensitive to HCG than others?

Yes, some guys are more sensitive to hcg than others. I'm someone who loves HCG.

Just so you know, hCG doesn't increase LH. You could always lower the Test dosage instead if you want to maintain benefits of hCG, if there are any.

There's always a bigger fish in the pond.

If you're not interested in fertility, or your balls being a bit smaller, stop hCG. It does seem like your body is still acclimating to therapy months later.

Your title question "Should I lower my dosage of HCG when I lose weight?". I would say "no".

For some this combo right from the start of TRT works well, for others it's best to initially only use testosterone.

know it dosent increase LH, but it mimics it. So my reasoning is that if low LH puts me at 500, then I would also be sensitivte to HCG, no?

I really like the effects from hcg. Sensitivity orgasm etc and also well being. Wont go without it.

The combo has worked. Also 1 day off hcg and I feel great again, so I think trying to lower dose could be good.

I meant that it works without them having these confused questions and "high E2" sides.
Overall you seem to happy and are in the phase of finding the right protocol for yourself.

Hormone therapy is about trial and error.

It’s not normal to have in range LH while on TRT, let alone hCG.
