Just reading your opening post and it occurred to me that you also could have had a bad vial of HCG. This happens to me and I get bad vials all the time. I know this because HCG has a huge effect on me and when the hcg is bad I feel none of those regular effects from it. So I try another vial and suddenly everything is normal again. There is a thread here about not all HCG is equal. Anyways this may not be your problem but it's something that could happen. I've read too that many on TRT get higher labs using IM... you never hear of it the other way around.
