Adding HCG to TRT protocol

[Thomas1212]

Hello everyone. Thank you in advance for any advice you can give me. I have been on trt for 3 years and am looking to add HCG for fertility reasons and any possible additional benefits.

Current protocol is 105mg testosterone cypionate split between daily injections. I do daily injections do to having higher e2 with less frequent injections.

Last labs:
Testosterone total -1111ng/dl
Testosterone free 181 pg/ml
Estrodial 58 pg/ml

What dose and frequency would you recommend I add HCG. Dose daily dosage of HCG help keep e2 lower the same way daily testosterone dose was able to? I am looking to start with lower dosage and slowly increase as needed as I have some time before having kids. Considering daily HCG with my daily testosterone or possibly alternating EOD trt and HCG.

Also, my doctor said each vial will be $500 because of the changes in laws regarding HCG. This is very expensive and am hoping to find another option to keep the cost down. Thank you.

Yes I was planning on reducing my test dosage when starting HCG. Not sure by how much and am open to suggestions. I’m in California where one doctor quoted me $500 and a second jsut quoted $300.

Could you point me in the right direction where I would be able to take the script if they are willing and what the cost is? Thank you very much.

I just searched goodrx and it was $118 for the pharmacy I usually use, and close to that at others. I'm not sure what the sudden hullaballoo is about. That's what I paid when I did a pregnyl experiment a few years ago.
