Damn, i'm also in the same boat with super low preg and prog, for some reason dhea has not dropped like yours, but estradiol low as well when natty. You said you eat alot, what is your diet like? Could it be you´re eating a lot of something thats blocking aromatase?

On the other hand, young people generally have what mainstream medicine calls healthy cholesterol and their hormones are on point.

I think if one is insulin resistant, high protein high fat may not work so well. This could support the idea of mixing carbs with high fat leads to more insulin hence brainfog, the mastering diabetes guys say its all about minimal fat to get optimal results with whole food high carb.

Is there anyone who has tried infrequent large doses of gonadorelin? Curious if gonadorelin is enough to prevent testicular shrinkage if taken daily or even eod-e3d. In my country it's only available for cows, dont know if i could identify as one and get it prescribed, but it is 50micrograms per...

What do you guys think about the idea that you should either eat mostly carbs or mostly fats? That fat blocks the cells and when you eat carbs the body makes excess insulin to try and get them in, included in this is that keto should not have a lot of protein, since protein also leads to insulin...

Its amazing the OP seems to not have tried injections without HCG

He would say that, but it's most likely just a rebound, is blood donation not an option for you? Anyway have some dairy and coffee with your red meat to block iron absorption for a while if you're not going to donate.

I never got the concept of first using HCG alone for months before adding FSH, if it's available you'd think one would like the surest fastest way to fertility.

We have seen that HCG alone can increase sperm counts, and the claim that HCG has less impact on estrogen than TRT is pretty wild.

Did you always test at morning around the same time?

How about this, before the invention of frequent injections, guys have been injecting 200-250mg in one shot every two weeks, sure this kind of protocol has a period of supraphysiological levels, where the receptors get saturated, but to compensate the latter part of the cycle gives the system a...

Hi, what is your injection frequency?

Seems a rebound effect could make sense, donating blood might be a good idea.

Of course it is rising, the same way it goes down when getting on trt, it is due to exogenous testosterone suppressing hepcidin.

Just to add, the desensitization part is not well established, i would not worry too much as in a popular study 500iu every other day resulted in +25% intratesticular testosterone, if you were planning to run fertility protocols infinitely that would be another deal.

Here is some reading, you can find more, the dosing schedules on hcg vary greatly just like with testosterone, you have to be the judge, but it is well established that testosterone peaks at around 72hrs post injection...

You don't end up being suppressed, your hpta is shut down while on it sure, but recovery will 100% be faster than being on testosterone, since your balls have not been shut down. It might not work long term for everyone, but you wouldn't know how it is for you without trying, since you are...

Why not just start off with hcg mono then, and see where it takes your levels, you will have a better picture of your balls capabilities?

Is it not quite fast acting, i'd probably just take it as needed, in as small doses as you can to get the benefit

Check this out, the worst is, there is no way to know, some of the food is probably tested but not on the regular. https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6651/15/9/576

regarding the diet talk, if anyone is looking for another rabbit hole to dive in, take a look at mycotoxins in food and feed, there is a lot of data on it, but it is less discussed, it has well been recognized as a problem. The moldy feeds with toxins can lead to animal produce containing...

Yes progesterone, and perhaps DHT.

How about your pregnenolone?

yeah my suggestion was based on that knowledge, i am going to get it tested myself tomorrow after a long time, my diet has been very heavy on eggs, dairy and meat.

I recommend frontloading with a bigger starting dose, the ester is very slow and will take forever to build up if you start out with 125mg weekly.

Have you tested b12 lately, possibly too high?

same experience, just went back to uHCG and confirmed.

So it works just as well or even better intramuscularly, i have never tried but plannning to give it a shot.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3973773/ AND then again: "There was a significantly higher serum hCG level in the SC group (348.6 ± 98 IU/L) vs. the IM group (259.0 ± 115 IU/L) and a significantly higher follicular fluid hCG level in the SC vs. the IM group (233.5 ± 85 vs. 143.4 ±...
