How about trying out a reduced dose of HCG, for example 500iu 3xwk, and dropping the AI, that e2 level is IMO low considering that your t-levels are so high, which leads me to believe a drop in hcg dose would still leave you with plenty of T, gonads definitely going strong with you. Maybe the AI...

then there are reports of some guys cruising on hcg mono on doses such as 250iu 3xweek, 500iu 2xweek. There are no studies validating the claim that hcg mono works only with higher doses, supraphysiological ITT was always required for fertility when rFSH was not used. Would be nice to have a...

Goals is wellbeing, libido and erections, steady state. If ITT is almost maintained on 250iu eod, and 25% more on 500iu eod, i don't know if even on monotherapy one should be going higher, the higher doses are probably just thought to be necessary for monotherapy due to being present in...

I wish Saya had chosen 250iu instead of the 150iu and included testosterone measurements. This data most are probably familiar with seems to indicate no need for more than e3.5d administration when it comes to maintaining testosterone with HCG alfa.(fig 3)...

That is what i would like to know, seems these two are the most common approaches found on the internet, the Saya study Nelson linked does not really make sense in the sense that so many use 250 mon-wed-fri, and many even use just 250 every 3,5 days. In my case there seems to be a loss of...

For me, dry eye sypmtoms always get better on testosterone, in my natural hypogonadal state i can hardly read after sauna.

Are you drinking coffee, i am not the only one who had a significant drop in BP after giving up coffee.

How did it go? It seems the natural daily fluctuation in young males tends to be something like 30%, with this gel the difference is way more, and also my own anecdotal expreriments say that endogenous production is not activated during 12-24hrs post testavan application.

I'm planning on trying out testavan gel soon, since studies claim it comes back to baseline after 12hrs, applied in the morning, there might be some endogenous activity during the night, at the very least large daily fluctuation in levels. Will take LH in the morning, who knows it might not be...

Yes it's absolutely wise to check both 4 hours after and 24 after to see if the pharmacology holds true. Those are averages anyway.

You're probably using androgel 1.62%? There is actually pharmacology claiming the levels with gels are not fluctuating as much as one would think. One exception is testavan gel that peaks fast. And then there is Testavan

After matching, 10,511 men who experienced an any increase in Hct after initiating TTh and an equal number of controls who did have an increase in Hct were included. Compared to controls who did not have an increase in Hct after starting TTh, the men who had an increase in subsequent Hct had a...

Excessive erythrocytosis compromises the blood-endothelium interface in erythropoietin-overexpressing mice https://physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1113/jphysiol.2011.209262

Did they measure only daily through with the gel in traverse study?

In other words 30-40mg twice a week Good point, also if enanthate is non-pharma you never know, most often you'd probably get less though.
