    Feeling pretty sick following this mornings shots ...

    Hi Phil, Appreciate the thorough feedback and insights. I want to preface this by saying in no way was I being irresponsible and after seeking the advice of two very prominent doctors in the TRT who recommended between 130-150mgs of T per week as a start, I still chose to start with 100mg/wk...

    Gents, I finally took the leap for TRT about 5 weeks ago with 100mg to testosterone cypionate split into 3 doses per week, 350iu hcg and .125mg Arimidex 3 times per week. I'm prescribed 132mg per week but I started low. Everything was going great. Began dieting and excersise to restrict BP and...

    HCG monotherapy and recovering the HPTA axis

    Doing very well by the grace of god. I have fully recovered from all of my crashed estrogen symptoms. I still struggle with my TT being low in the 220-250ng/dl range but as far as recovery from what initially brought me to this forum, I'm in a pre-crashed state and what a ride it has been. My LH...

    I'm getting off my HCG monotherapy next week and will be attempting an aggressive gonadotropin restart by using 50mg of Clomid daily split into two 25mg and 10mg of Tamoxifen for 6 weeks. Im also low SHBG and noticed that my HCG lowers it further. Also, my LH & FSH never get above 5 and 2...

    New Bloodwork - Crashed Estrogen = What now ???

    How much Arimidex did you take and for how long? You can play the waiting game without taking anymore Arimidex and it should resolve within 3 weeks on its own. If it doesn't, like in my case when I used Aromasin, HCG was the only king to fix everything. It felt like I factory reset my system on it.

    Please Help…Severe Issues After Crashing E2

    Well traditionally, I believe the gold standard is run SERMS is to kick start gonadotropins after the cessation of HCG and/or Testosterone. It's more of a kick start to reduce the time by which my body needs to to produce LH & FSH. I know it the feeling sucks be on the SERMS but it's much better...

    Switching to hcg mono?

    High dose HCG will send your estradiol and prolactin through the roof. I'm currently on HCG mono at 300iu EOD taken with an insulin syringe intramuscularly. I take between 100-150mgs of P5P to control prolactin that rises with E2 and Zinc to combat aromatization to an extent. My E2 non-sensitive...

    HCG Insomnia

    Couldn't really cite anything clinical to back this up, however when I was coached by an IFBB pro, he always recommended to take at night with vitamin E on an empty stomach and intramuscular. I believe it may have to do with the rhythm of LH pulsing peak at night? I did find literature...

    Please Help…Severe Issues After Crashing E2

    OP, I have had 95% of your described symptoms after crashing my E2. It was the worst mistake of my life and began cherishing estrogen very much. I'm currently on 300iu of HCG to recover from this mess and it has worked wonderfully. My BP was extremely low after crashing my E2 and HCG brought it...
