I've been on HCG from June 15, for an attempt to restart my own testosterone production.
My trt doctor prescribed a huge amount of 5000iu 2x week. I did that first, and then spared it out to 2500iu EOD after few weeks, because of the huge 5000iu dose at once seemed to give me elevated heart rate and BP.
Here's my blood results:
July 7 (on 5000iu 2x week)
Total testosterone: 21,6nmol/l (8-29).
If an internet converter is correct, that converts to 623ng/dl
I got only total testosterone at that time, because I wanted to just see if I've recovered at all.
July 30 (on 2500iu EOD)
Total testosterone: 17,7nmol/l (8-29) = 511ng/dl(?)
Free testosterone: 287pmol/l (155-800)
SHBG: 30nmol/l (15-95)
E2: 0,15nmol/l (<0,15)
Ferritin: 53.6µg/l (28.0-370.0 )
Hgb: 156g/l (134-167)
HKR: 44,9% (39-50)
As you can see, my free testosterone is pretty low, which is disappointing after 1,5 months with hcg.
Estrogen is actually pretty high for that testosterone number right?
I've been feeling pretty tired and crappy, libido is also pretty low.
There are some good days where I feel more energetic and actually have sexual urges, but those days are rare.
What do you guys think of my results? What would you do if you were me?
Should I just continue with hcg and hope for the best, or are my balls just ruined and there is nothing else for me to do than just hop back on trt?
