    Wow, nobody has a source?

    Reliable HCG Source?

    I just did a search and there are a lot of old postings -- is there any reliable HCG source anymore that isn't being killed by tariffs? I used to get it from India, but is there any actual US based source?

    1/2" Delt -- always a lump and bruise

    This was 3 years ago, but back then I did 7 units inter muscular, but now I do 3 units sub-q twice a week.

    HGC -- off for a week, suddenly morning wood

    interesting. Last visit with my doctor, he felt my E2 was too high and asked me to restart the AI (I had stopped) so I take a half tablet twice a week now, the day after my shots. Since I also stopped the HCG, how do I know if I am *too low* on E2? What should I be looking for body wise? I was...

    HGC -- off for a week, suddenly morning wood

    I took a trip back east and couldn't really drag my HCG along, so I skipped it for this week...I'm about 7 days into not taking it and I'm suddenly getting more morning wood. I find that odd, and maybe unrelated, but am curious about what effect HCG could have there in the negative sense?

    Hematocrit levels: what’s “high?”

    Went today for my “every three months” blood “donation.” I was at 47. That doesn’t seem so high. When should I be worried? I do 2x a week subq.

    HCG: how much is "too much"

    I'm currently on 500iu 2x a week. My libido is still "meh" and my ball size isn't quite where it was. Not sure if the HCG I'm getting from reliablerx is crap, or I'm letting it sit in the fridge too long, but starting to wonder if I should be doing 500iu 3x a week, or is that going to screw me...

    Low Libido, crap erections

    Okay, the numbers I had quoted above were from my last test about 6 months ago, before we turned down the T a bit. I went and got a new test and my numbers, received yesterday, show that I am at 854 at my low. So that's better than it was, which was a bit above 1000. My E was 26, SHBG is 30...

    Low Libido, crap erections

    If I'm still high like that after my next test (in the next few weeks), I'm going to ask to dial down again. Would that affect my libido too? That's the part that I find most distressing.

    Low Libido, crap erections

    I've spent two years on TRT. My numbers are dialed in at around 1000 T and about 38 E. I pin twice a week, sub-q, adding in HCG as well. No AI. I work out 4x a week, and take lots of walks. I sleep well. I still have very little sex drive anymore, and my ability to get an erection, which I...

    HCG: what happens if I stop it?

    Thank you -- I just don't see the point of adding another cocktail to the mix if I'm not getting a lot out of it. My morning wood has gradually gone away, my libido didn't return, and I think we need to dial down my T number based on other comments. I think I need to remove HCG from the...

    HCG: what happens if I stop it?

    I've been using HCG for two reasons: ball size and libido. I have been having low libido so it's not helping there. I'm curious what happens if I stop the HCG, other than my balls shrinking to the size of almonds? I didn't find it had an effect on anything else other than that. I will just...

    More Penis Sensitivity questions

    Sorry, 1mg would be 200, so I was on 140 a week, down to 120 now. He's never brought it up. Maybe time for another clinic, but really no clear "who should I move to." Always up for recommendations of people who manage this better.

    More Penis Sensitivity questions

    Thank you for the write up. I need to figure out how to bring up with my clinic that we need to find a more optimal number for me, and I am not sure what I should be shooting for. We haven't tested since dropping me from .7 to .6 weekly. I know doctors love it when you debate them, but I will...

    More Penis Sensitivity questions

    So I had been commenting earlier about having a difficult time orgasming. Someone had mentioned maybe my dose is too high. I had a thought, and wanted some feedback. So this morning, which is my low as I inject Monday AM and Thursday PM, I had more morning wood than I would normally. So that...
