That's the standard hCG monotherapy dose, but in my experience it is too high. I'd start with 250iu 3 x week. Do you have the Pregnyl 1500iu amps?

Exactly my experience. I'm now in my late 40s but most people guess my age as early 30s tops, even with the accutane induced dry skin! I had no idea my testosterone was so low for so many years until I had it measured at the age of 31. Total testosterone came back at just 5.5 nmol/L!

I took Accutane too. That's what I believe caused damage to my hypothalamus resulting in low LH. HCG is the only thing that has been able to give me some libido. How did your joints and tendons react to Accutane? Did you have ongoing musculoskeletal side effects? Do you look a lot younger in...

I'm surprised your TT is only 23 nmol/L on 140mg/week. Mine was higher than that on half your dose!

Which antibiotic were you prescribed?

If a man who is not on TRT takes 5mg transdermal progesterone per day, will it suppress endogenous testosterone?

A much lower dose of hCG such as 250iu 3 x week may give you the libido boost you're after with minimal LH suppression. Some guys even feel good on as little as 150-200iu 3 x week. 500iu eod will generate too much estradiol and likely completely suppress your LH and cause unwanted E2 side effects.

I'm surprised you're able to achieve such a high T level on just 49mg/week. Nelson posted a study some time ago which found the group of men on 50mg/week experienced a reduction in their T level from baseline.

Which generic brand? Or does it not matter? Reliablerx have been out of stock on most brands of hCG for some time.

I thought that hCG was easily detectable in the standard urine samples collected by WADA? Perhaps a low enough dose, like 250iu eod is below the threshold required to register a positive sample in urine?

I wonder if TA1 could boost the immune system enough, in an otherwise healthy individual, to defeat the type of bacterial infections fluoroquinolone antibiotics are normally used to treat?

How long do you normally have to wait for your hCG to be delivered? Some people believe that hCG can lose potency if left out of refrigeration for too long, even before reconstitution in bac water. Is this true or false?

Why?

Does that apply to both recombinant hCG, like Ovitrelle or compounded hCG, as well as urine derived hCG?

Are you sure this is true? I've read many posts on other forums from guys who have frozen their reconstituted hCG and reported no subjective loss in potency. What do other members here think about freezing reconstituted hCG?
