[QUOTE="Farmer Bryan, post: 243900, member: 44895"] HCG doesn’t seem to raise my T or my E2 much at this current dose (300iu eod) in the past I went one month without it and did labs at the end of that month and there was little change in my lab values. That’s not saying it doesn’t effect some other hormone in the cascade that was not tested. I’ll continue to remain off for a period of time and then reintroduce and see what effect it has on me. I began at 100mg for the first 6 months of T replacement, didn’t get much improvement. I had originally started with HCG mono therapy and while I felt tremendous benefit from that at 1000iu 3x week, my e2 side effects of water retention and weight gain were too difficult to control which is why my doc suggested going on T with only modest doses of HCG to preserve testicular size and function to some extent. However strength, mood, libido, and overall quality of life were great. Wanted sex all the time. Never needed PDE5i’s everything felt great except I looked like a water balloon. I did this for over a year before switching to T + smaller doses of HCG. At my current dose of 140mg/week plus HCG my free T levels are lower than they were on HCG mono, and my E2 levels are easily half. I will admit that my TT is above range, but my current Free and Bioavailable T seem pretty good, no? It does. Thank you for the thoughtful and detailed response. [/QUOTE]
