That’s the thing, he is a TRT specialist that’s been on it himself for over 20 years. And the goal is to raise TT with hCG alone, but I also wondered about desensitization. I’m going to try to find some solid info regarding dosage and desensitization. If you know of a good article please send it...

Talked to my Doc today, we decided to give hCG monotherapy a try since that might be all I need. If I don’t like it after several weeks I can mix the T back in. I’m already taking 375iu twice a week. Now he wants me to go with 750iu EOD. Seems high to me but I’m not a Dr. I did ask him about...

And you just rotate one shot per day, either hCG or Test? That's kind of what I was thinking. How's that working for you?

I just take it because I don't eat or drink dairy. Just on my own, not Dr. recommended. I would think i'd like to try 100mg as well. What would you think would be a good way to split it up? I don't mind injecting everyday if that's what works best, obviously I'd prefer not to if I don't have...

Sure! 140mg test cyp IM (80mg Tue, 60mg Fri) 125iu hCG daily subQ Daily- Fish Oil 2 Caps B12 1,000mcg DIM 250mg (recently stopped taking) D3 20,000iu (night) L-Arginine (night) Cortisol Manager 1 cap (night) I usually take a calcium supplement but I need to reorder. *Also, the only thing...

Today is Sunday, my last shot was Friday and I’m finally starting to feel somewhat normal again in terms of mood and libido. Thur after the shot was the worst (60mg test cyp IM, btw), had a headache, flushed face, pressure behind the eyes, and everything downstairs stopped working like a switch...

Took my final shot for the second week and experienced the same feeling. Like it turns off the switch to my ****, sorry that’s the best way I can put it. Mood goes low as well. The first week I was on hCG everyday, and felt better and better every day I got farther from my original injection...

So this is my second week on HRT. So far, the first week they gave me my whole protocol on the same day. The first couple days I felt a little off, then felt normal. On my second 375iu shot on Thur I felt a big difference. On sat I started daily small doses of HCG trying the Crisler method, just...

Just to be clear, this is an age management center, not a GP. I would guess he's basing his recommendation on the general symptoms I've told him. General fatigue starting early, restlessness late at night. Hard to lose belly fat. The blood test was done in the am, the results had no reference...

Ratbag, just curious as to why you think it's low cortisol and not high? I'm no expert on the matter, but I've definitely had enough traumatic experiences to throw my cortisol out of whack. Looking at the list on symptoms, I would say I line up more with the high end, in terms of my weight and...

CoastWatcher: I will contact them tomorrow about a Saliva test. In the meantime, I'll start taking the supplement he recommended. Also, thanks for chipping in. I followed your daily protocol details with interest before my first TRT appointment, and actually brought it up to him. But, if my...

How are cortisol problems generally addressed then?

Madman, just curious what your protocol and history is after looking at your avatar pic.

my doc actually recommended a Cortisol manager supplement to take every night, but I didn't get it because it was $65 at the office. So I just ordered a really well reviewed one on amazon, it will be here Friday and I'll mix that in.

Thyroid wasnt even mentioned in the discussion. We really just glossed over the numbers, since they seem to be in healthy ranges and no abnormalities were detected during my physical. What further testing and/or meds would be used to address that? I understand these parameters aren't universal...

So you're thinking the 2x/week test may lower my already low SHBG? Do you think the fact that they're SubQ injections might help with the roller coaster effect? I initially asked if I could start on a daily 16mg Test Enan w/ 250iu hCG x2/wk protocol like I've noticed have great success here...

Thanks for the fast response! My doctor did indeed mention hematocrit levels, and the fact that I may need to donate blood in the future. As far as the Thyroid, nothing was said about that.

For some reason, when I first posted this thread the pics all popped up, then they turned into ? marks. Not sure what's up with that.

Hello, everyone. I've been haunting these forums and many like it over the years while researching TRT. I had my results checked over and given a protocol yesterday, along with having my first shots done. I'd love to hear the opinions of some of the veteran forumites here, thanks for your...

Hi guys. First post here. I’ve been following this thread with great interest. I’ve been haunting all of these forums for years and this protocol seems to make a lot of sense. I’ve tried clomid in the past with poor results (Urologist not monitoring E2, Clomid dose too high). Anyway, I have my...
