I've yet to really enjoy the sexual side of my TRT therapy. I'm experiencing ED; tough to get and maintain an erection. I can't say that my libido is great, I think it's good, I certainly see attractive females and have the thoughts but the physical response is nil. I have been recently experiencing some REM Sleep Wood (I've let my E2 rise from a sensitive 19/32 standard) which is an improvement, but no morning wood nor any spontaneous erections. I've experimented with generic Sildenafil with fair to good results. I think it was only fair with low E2, but is better since reducing Adex.
What I want is to explore these reports of HcG and increased well-being and increased libido. I've been on TCyp injec w/o HcG, so I can report that when HcG was added, I didn't experience any improvement in my therapy or well being, just from the HcG addition.
I want to know about moving up from this minimum maintenance dose of 250iu EOD, I mean, I'm keeping the testes awake but they weren't working too well before that anyway. (I was never diagnosed primary or secondary Hypogonadal). Is that understandable? Fertility is of no concern to me, I'm 42 and have a 19 year old Son.
I don't know...increased HcG EOD?, I know Gene has put forth a daily injection method at a lower dose. I'm considering a couple of weeks of 400iu EOD and want to know what the hive has to say on HcG dosing and frequency.
Synopsis of my protocol: I was on 105mg 1x week, no HcG, with a large national "chain" clinic and getting great TT and FT in my trough; TT @ 892. Estradiol was an up and down thing, as high as 56, as low as 8 with 'standard' testing. When I left that clinic I tested at 36 standard and I was using Anastrozole @ .25mg E3D.
For 90 days I've been with another clinic that is facilitating self-injections 2x week, with HcG, and access to Anastrozole. Initially I was injecting 75mg E3.5D, the very common .250iu EOD of HcG, and .25mg Adex EOD. In a trough after 6 weeks I tested @ TT 806 and the physician consented to me increasing TCyp to 97mg E3.5D.
I've battled with E2 and have rejected the path I was following that Adex is mandatory and adopted the "sensitive" testing that I procure on my own. I stopped Adex for 9 days and concurrently restarted with the new 97mg TCyp, with Adex @ .25mg 24hr post-injection, just .5mg total per week.
This reduced adex dosing and increased TCyp is working for me. I feel better and look better. I wanted my E2 to rise from 19 sensitive and I've worked toward that. Though I don't feel "horny" even in my TCyp peak of 24-48hrs. a Horny man is a happy man, right?
I don't know where to go from here..increased HcG EOD? I know Gene has put forth a daily injection method at a lower dose. I'm considering a couple of weeks of 400iu EOD and want to know what the hive has to say on HcG dosing and frequency. I understand 500iu is typically the limit on a TRT protocol. I was prescribed 600iu 3x week, but that sounds like too much. I don't need to add-in an increased E2 pathway either with high doses of HcG.
