Study: hCG Increases Sex Drive and Improves ED in Men

[over60andusingtrt]

For years I've been taking 120mg/TC per week and then added 1000 IU/week of HCG. After about a month I started noticing a loss of muscle, more belly fat, dry lips. Can anyone tell me what likely happened? Did my T and E2 levels spike? I stopped taking it and have been waiting over a month now to go back to normal. The sex was better while I was on it, but I need to find out what happened before resuming.

Did you do any lab work? You should do labs to see if anything changed.

Could have been E2 going up, but 1000iu per week of HCG isn’t too excessive.

No, getting labs done here for hormone stuff is like pulling teeth. I need to find a easier way. My 'crash' may have nothing to do with HCG and might be related to my 10% reduction in TC a month before starting the HCG. The timing makes it difficult to pinpoint the culprit.

I dont think 10mg a week reduction should have that effect, you're surely getting more testosterone from your testicles with hcg than what you're losing dropping the dose.

500 IU of hCG Twice Per Week Used Alone in Men with Low Testosterone and ED- Study Results

The study titled "Efficacy of 500 IU HP-hCG in the Management of Testosterone Deficient Secondary Male Hypogonadism," conducted by researchers at Chirayu Medical College and Hospital in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of low-dose Highly Purified Human Chorionic...

No, but you have to use the right dose to equal your natural endogenous T production. That dose and frequency vary for everyone. As monotherapy, my guess is that 1000 IU hCG every other day is the minimum.

It seems that @JCUSN is showing us that a hCG monotherapy dose of 400 IU daily has booted his T to 900 nd/dL. This total weekly dose is 2,800 IU (close my my guess of total dose of 3,000 IU)

According to the video and the studies shown, the htp axis is interrupted.
Does this happen at any dose? or only in a dose considered by the body as supra?

hCG acts like any androgen, so HPTA will be suppressed (no LH and FSH if blood tests are performed) at most doses unless you are underdosing. However, your endogeneous T is still produced. LH and FSH recovery happens faster after stopping hCG monotherapy than the HPTA recovery after stopping testosterone therapy.

hCG is a mimicker of LH and also has FSH qualities but it is NOT picked up in blood tests as either LH or FSH. That is what most guys do not get.

What will be the average number of days for the axis to return using HCG for about 3 weeks 500ui 2x week?

What to expect from this hcg protocol to try optimize the production of testosterone ?

Is there no desensitization of Leydig cells?

Clomid with hcg makes the brain "not see estradiol", libido would drop dramatically?

Thanks for the feedback and the forum. I am learning a lot by reading it.
