I don’t feel any anxiety when I use anastrozole. I take .25mg three times a week and it keeps my estradiol around 28pg/dL. I’m not quite sure if it’s due to lifting heavy more recently, taking too much thyroid medication, or anastrozole but I’ve been noticing a bit more joint pain than usual and...

I had a question regarding the side effects of AI’a and can’t seem to find a consistent consensus regarding side effects. I am aware that there can be side effects from the usage of AIs, from my understanding the sides are from crashing estradiol to an unhealthy level. Most of the negatives...

Sorry for the late reply, but for some odd reason I never received any of notifications that anyone posted on this page since I first posted. I’ve been over medicated a couple times on T4 (synthroid) and NDT (NP thyroid). The symptoms for me were excessive sweating, especially when training or...

Hello everyone, I’m creating this thread to see what the members who use HCG have found to be the most optimal frequency for injections as well as dosing. I know that there is a lot of variation between individuals but I wanted to see if there is a common trend. 1. If you are currently using...

Thanks Nelson!

I experience those sides only when I’m over medicated on thyroid medication? How are your thyroid levels. I’ve also heard that HCG can raise free T3 and free T4 levels.

Interesting, I wonder if it’s the dose or the frequency that gives you the fullness and takes away the pain? Have you tried 250ius three times a week?

But why is 500ius the top end? For fertility protocols some guys are injecting 3000ius every other day. Are there any studies that show that 1000ius is unsafe per injection vs 500ius? I know that more doesn’t necessarily equal better but at the same time what is the point where more becomes...

Hi everyone, I’ve been on TRT since 2017 and have been on and off with my use of HCG. When I started TRT I was told to never go above 500ius of HCG per day otherwise it could cause desensitized leydig cells. I’ve talked to a few doctors who said that this is nonsense and they have their younger...

I see, I’d be open to daily again. How much should I drop to 20mg daily? Edit: my free test at 28mg of t daily was 32.8 range 9.3-26.5

It’s pretty difficult to get my doctor to test for sensitive E2 let alone free E2. The best I can do for the time being is try different injection frequencies and dosages up to 200mg.

I was on 28mg everyday but more recently I switched to 88mg twice a week. Considering my SHBG and my previous labs, are you saying that I’d be better off doing everyday injections or stick to twice weekly?

When I was doing 28mg everyday I didn’t notice any of the sides except for maybe a little more water retention. So I didn’t notice much benefit going from 75mg twice a week vs going to 28mg everyday. My total T on 150mg was a bit over 780 and my non sensitive E2 was low 30s. I figured since I...

I wish my t levels were high at that dose. At 28mg everyday my total test levels were 1003.

So when I was 200mg once a week with out an AI some of the sides were: high libido but soft erections (70% rigidity) but with cialis or viagra I was at 100%. I would get crazy night sweats the night of the injection and the night after, I had moonface, I had trouble sleeping, I had brain fog...
