Add HCG or Testosterone

If you add HCG to a protocol will it further lower ferritin and raise haemoglobin and RBC ?

I have ordered some HCG from Radiance internationals in India, as not available in my country. Hopefully by adding this to my protocol I can raise my testosterone, but not all the other annoying stuff.

I am currently on 8mg per day of Cypionate and 12.5mg per week or cabergoline to keep my prolactin in check.

I am already close to my limits with Haemoglobin, but want to add more T as i feel I am under dosed, slow recovery from gym, fatigue etc.

Felt ok at 10mg per day but Had to lower as Haemoglobin went over top of range, Ferritin crashed and RBC got near top of range.

Yes to all, more testosterone uses up more iron to create more hemoglobin and hematocrit. You can decrease the TRT dosage to 6 mg per day to counter the hCG affects on testosterone, hemoglobin and hematocrit.
 
So I'm damned if I do an damned if I Don't. At this point I felt better before TRT, as the only thing it has done is reduce my anxiety. But I can't live like this with constant fatigue, and 3 days to recover from an average gym workout.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
