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...

So, since starting TRT I’ve been on many different dosaages It’s difficult to say as all the blood work I’ve done with the exception of about one of most recent labs has been with HCG. My total testosterone on 150mg without HCG was 784, Non sensitive estradiol was 32.7. I’ve been on 200mg (once...

I tried going to daily injections of 28mg but my testosterone stayed around the same level and my estradiol, HCT, and RBC went up unfortunately. I only tried it for 3 weeks and my HCT went from 47 to almost 52 switching from twice a week to daily dosing. It’s really interesting how our bodies...

I was using empowers HCG back then but using absolute pharmacy’a HCG now because I switched to a different clinic. So I experimented a bit with and without HCG. While on HCG my estradiol shot from the mid 30s all the way up to mid 50s. If I didn’t take HCG and just used 200mg my estradiol would...

I see, I was looking through old threads and I’ve seen all kinds of dosing but it seems like most people here use between 250-500ius per shot twice a week.

Actually I have another test with no AI, and when I was injecting 200mg of T once a week. 12/11/2017 Total T: 901 range 264-916 Free T: 32.6 range 9.3-26.5 Estradiol sensitive: 66.2 range 8.0-35

I only have one test at 200mg split into two shots with .25mg of anastrozole that checked for sensitive E2. I never had my sensitive E2 tested when I was 28mg daily. 200mg of test (100mg Mon/Thr), .25mg of anastrozole MWF, and 500ius sun and wed. Total T: 1065 range 264-916 Free T: 37.7...

Hello everyone, As someone who has been on TRT for about 1.5 years I’ve been off and on HCG and tried doses anywhere from 250-500ius per injection. When I started TRT I was immediately put on HCG as I was 24 and my doctor was concerned about fertility issues down the road if I was T only. More...

Thank you for this thread, I too haven’t necessarily felt that great on testosterone cypionate myself and I’m also on thyroid medication. I felt amazing at first but after a while I felt just like how I did before I got on TRT but just better performance in the gym. With test cyp I’ve noticed a...

Perhaps more info on thyroid function and how it can effect one’s wellbeing. Specifically what are the options for treatment, how low thyroid function can mimic low t symptoms and other factors that can lower thyroid function.

So I actually looked over the last results and yes, my E2 was higher than usual. My endow doesn’t believe in doing sensitive E2 tests so I had the regular test done and my E2 was 52.8 range 7.6-42.6. Total t was 1003.

Awesome, I’ll buy some tonight! Thanks a lot Gman!

Thanks Gman, that really puts me at ease. In your post above you mentioned taking some magnesium for the BP. What dosage do you recommend and what form?

Ok I was really concerned as my endocrinologist was worried. What’s crazy is that my ferritin went from 68-100 between the two labs I posted, despite being less than 4 weeks apart. What do you think could be causing my high BP?

Thanks for the insight. I just posted my platelet values. I actually don’t take any magnesium but I will start as my doc recommended it as well. What type of dosing and which form do you recommend?

Interesting, I had no idea free T was so important. I’ve looked over my two labs. Most recent was at 200mg a week divided into 28mg ED dosing 1/31/2019 Total T: 1003 ng/dL Free test: 32.8pg/mL ref range 9.6-26.5 Platelets 185 ref range 150-379x10E3/uL HCT: 52.3 range 37-51 RBC: 6.11 range...

My HCT has gone as high as 53 Hemoglobin as high as 19 and RBC 6.3. That was on 250mg of testosterone per week. On 200mg HCT stays around 52.3, Hemoglobin 18.2, RBC 6.1. Unfortunately my blood pressure is pretty elevated. I don’t think it’s due to E2 as my E2 stays in the 30-40 range...
