Yeah so far i only found one case on reddit explaining a similar scenario, and i'm fully aware that most people will suspect this to be impossible since as you described, the problem is almost always the opposite, it seems something happens over time, HCG will not cause this low e2 state from...

Just wanted to see if anyone has anything similar going on, this is the second time i have witnessed on my labwork this strange phenomenon of tanked estradiol on combined HCG and testosterone. Now, i'm not certain if last time i was also using test subq, FSH was not in the picture back then...

I did try 150iu of FSH and felt bad, at first i was also doing mon-wed-fri, 500+75, after a short trial total T was 15nmol/l or 430ng/dl, shbg being quite low free testosterone was decent but i lacked libido among other things, E2 was almost low which is funny. My current stance is that using...

Yes, this is very basic and easy to understand, it only takes around 1000iu of hcg per week to have physiological levels of ITT, i doubt e2 induced infertility will be a problem on FSH. I am currently taking 500iu of hcg and 90iu FSH every 3,5 days. I wish i could have sustained it longer...

While recombinant FSH is not, at least in most parts of the world, if one can't afford a short run of it, i would question if having a baby is something one can afford. Also freezing sperm for 10 years will probably be more expensive. Not nearly all guys end up with good sperm on HCG only, and...

But it lasts longer, peak testosterone is achieved around 72hrs and it takes almost twice that for hcg to clear.

HMG does work, it's human derived menotropin that in addition to FSH contain also LH, but the half life for the LH component is very short so hcg should also be kept on board.

To each his own, after years of trial and error and bloodwork, i have come to the conclusion that 2000iu daily keeps me around 85nmol/l during winter months when no uvb radiation is available. Larger doses have always caused issues like anxiety and nausea. I despise people who never do or...

Do you mind sharing your exact protocol? Obviosly results may vary but it's always nice to know how someone gets results like this that many never do.

2000iu D per day is usually sufficient, +1 on the FSH, trying to revive sperm on HCG only is kind of outdated anyway, you only need a little bit of hcg to have some intratesticular testosterone with the FSH.

Hey i remember you legend, remind me if it was subq or IM? HCG was never in the picture if i remember correctly.

Have you ever measured through levels in the morning, assuming you only apply in the morning?

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...
