[QUOTE="Phil Goodman, post: 279091, member: 42777"] Started with 120 mg/week spilt into two injections per week. I’d say I started noticing obvious positives around the three week mark. Sometime around weeks five and six I started noticing a little bit of an increase in anxiety. Not much, but I’ve never really had issue with anxiety before and I’d say it was noticeable. Some of that was due to life circumstances, but again I’ve always handled stress well so it was somewhat noticeable. That only lasted about two week, maybe a little less and wasn’t terrible just noticeable. After that energy levels and motivation continued to increase and gym performance got better. Never had issues with libido, but that got even better. And for me a substantial improvement in “brain fog” was one of the areas of biggest improvement. I’d pretty much planned on adding HCG at some point for various reasons, with the biggest one being that I didn’t want to shut down production just in case I ever needed or wanted to stop trt. I figured having that would improve transition if the time came. I’d say around the 2-3 month mark I noticed a decrease in orgasm intensity. Nothing too bad, but again noticeable. And since I was dialed in on trt plus planned on adding HCG anyway I figured it was a good time. Started that at 500 ius twice/week. Within about four weeks all atrophy was reversed and orgasms were better than ever. I also dropped my test down to 100 mg/week at that point long enough to have it stabilized before my bloodwork to how that addition would affect blood levels. I guess I got lucky because my levels stayed about the same even though I added HCG and dropped test down 20 less mg/week. Stayed on that for a while and got settled in. After some time(not sure of exact timeline) I thought it would probably be better to go to three times/week. Mainly because I think avoiding higher peaks and lower troughs is generally a better approach. Eventually thought that same approach would be better for HCG so went to 300 ius three times/week.
