Just as a sidebar, I had a check-up with my primary care doc yesterday for unrelated reasons - his thinking in looking at all of my labs, charts, etc from the past decade or so is that a GLP-1 is probably the move, especially given the fact that I haven't regained any weight from the last time I...

Thanks for the insights, y'all. I have taken @Guided_by_Voices' suggestion and booked an appointment with a well-regarded and highly-recommended holistic/functional medicine doctor in town who specializes in weight loss and hormone issues. I'd just like to make sure there isn't an underlying...

Hi y'all, for a bit more of my background (optional) I have a thread here about being on HCG Monotherapy for many, many years: Long-Term HCG Monotherapy Results and that'll go into some specific blood work. But here's the situation. I have kept 100lbs off for over a decade and cannot get the...

Howdy! Most recent bloods showed my Total T at 589ng/dL, which is a little bit low but it was at 11am and I did not sleep well at all the night before. E2 has also increased to 45pg/mL, which is higher than we'd like. We've put me back on a half mg of anastrozle per week and are going to...

Cheers, thanks! I've got blood work coming up in the next week or so and I'll try to remember to post my results. Anecdotally I still feel completely fine - I can still perform in the bedroom and I'm gaining muscle in the gym, no real issues there. One weird issue is my body fat distribution...

Huh, I am completely unfamiliar with this. Down the rabbit hole I go, I guess?

oh yeah, I factored a month of shipping time into my decision, but it's now been six weeks and they're still in Germany. Completely unjustifiable system we have here. Why did the new cheap generic increase in price 1000% overnight? Because fuck you, that's why!

Yes, secondary, thanks. And yeah, the only two things I can find about doing this are one guy who switched his HCG out for Kiss10 while already on test, but he posted on Reddit and hasn't responded to my threads or DMs, and one guy on T-Nation in 2022 who was taking 100mcg an hour and at that...

Yeah, I've got six vials coming, just didn't think German customs would hold on to 'em for 3 weeks on their way to the States.

Howdy y'all, As I've posted about in the past, I've been taking HCG Monotherapy for low T for about seven years now with good results - my last bloodwork had my total T at 707ng/dL with no change to my total weekly dosage since I started in 2017 (just tweaks to my dosing protocol)...

Bumping this out of frustration. The Fresenius Kabi generic has bumped up to $475 for a single 10mL vial, so I'm back to ReliableRX just because I can't afford that right now and I've found UGL HCG to be wildly unreliable in quality and potency. Is Reliable still the move? My order just finally...

Improving, but there’s a lot of other stuff going on there - as a formerly obese person my metabolism is quite slow, up until recently I worked a very sedentary job, and I take other medications that can impact body composition. I’ve actually got better insurance now and have already booked...

True! I meant it is higher than it historically has been for me and outside of the “normal” reference ranges for this lab, but you’re right, that context is important.

Six month update. I made no changes to my protocol other than dosing 300iu daily as described above for the reasons outlined in the studies above. I mentioned I felt great and the numbers bear that out: Total T 707 e2 39 (a little high but proportionately fine and I’m having no side effects...

Pregnyl has been out of stock/backordered at all of my local pharmacies for the last few months. I posted about this yesterday, but Rite Aid finally got me a generic HCG made by Fresenius Kabi, $199 for two 10mL vials, and my body seems to respond to it as well as as I've responded to Pregnyl...
