Cool, was starting to get worried with what I was reading online about high hemocrit levels. Thanks again Gene.

So is this something I should be very concerned about? My next labs aren't for 4 weeks and then I'll get my hemocrit levels checked.

Nope, I'm afraid where this is going. He is a well known Dr, so I thought I was in good hands...

Nelso, It's been exactly 6 months since I've started usin HCG, Pregnyl to be exact. My levels didn't reach this high until about 4 weeks ago when I started using Anastrozole, before then it was around 450.

I spoke with my physician and we decided to taper down my HCG to 600 IU per shot and continue my how I've been with the AI. I asked him if I should be checking my hemocrit levels and he wants to get that done, since it hasn't been done since I began my taking HCG. Should I be concerned that my...

Thank you both for the information, definitely a case of great minds thinking a like lol. Unfortunately the only labs my doc was checking at this point has been Total Test & e2, so I don't have free test numbers. Is it recomended to take the AI before your blood test, I took mine after.

Looking for some guidance to help solve this complex puzzle of getting my T levels to an optimal range. Long story short, I started out with Total T @ 252 and diagnosed as secondary. I started HCG monotherapy which raised my total T to 617 but my e2 went up to 94! I then started .2mg of...

I'd like to update my situation and ask for some guidance with estrogen blockers. I made the switch back to Pregnyl and have been injecting 700IU 3 times a week for 3 weeks and my T levels went up to 617 and my estorgen also raised to 94! Couple questions I'd like to ask: I know I need to...

Cool, thanks man!

Thanks for your response Gene. I forgot to mention I'm doing HCG monotherapy, not sure what would happen if I miss a couple days in that scenario. I've heard that there is a chance of chemicals coming off the plastic in the syringe from preloading, not sure how true that is. Also, I did purchase...

I prefer to keep my HCG refrigeratored and I'll be without access to a fridge for a couple days. What I'm wondering is if it would be safe to transfer some of my HCG from it's vial into an old HCG vial, could this cause any sterile issues? As long as I'm using a new needle and wiping both tops...

BTW, Nelson you mentioned next test get a CBC test that shows your hematocrit. Is this to make sure my hematocrit levels aren't too high? I was under the impression you only have to worry about that when your on TRT, this can happen on HCG too?

Cool, thanks.

Yea, I'm new to injecting, I've been doing it for less than two months now. Pretty much every time I do it a little drop of blood comes out but every so often no blood comes out. Not sure if it's becuase of technique or just that I'm hitting a blood vessel why some blood comes out. These 31mm...

I plan on doing that, thanks again for your help!

I actually have read this one before Nelson, the only reason I have doubted it is because I've talked to people online that swear they notice a difference when they go IM Vs SubQ, could all be a placebo though. I'll try again IM then I think I'll try again SubQ sticking to Pregnyl both times to...

Good to know! When I stuck myself and had a bulge pop up (mentioned in the beginning of this thread) I wasn't sure if I could reuse the needle that was still loaded with HCG and hrew it away. The first brand (Pregnyl) was 10,000 IU's that I mixed with 5ml water, the second brand (compounded...

Good to hear! Man, your going to keep me busy, there is a ton of useful info in that link....thanks.

It's amazing people like you take the time to help so many other people out! I know how hard this journey has been for me since most of the doctors I came across weren't well versed in this field which only makes it harder to get the right help. I think my plan is to go back to Pregnyl at my...

Hi Nelson, thank you for answering my post! You could be right, it could've been a bad batch of HCG because I upped my dose and definitely didn't feel as good as I did on the Pregnyl. I received my compounded HCG from Empower, I took advantage of your free deal. Is there a way to test the HCG...

If there was some blood, is it safe to pull out the needle an reinsert into my body elsewhere?

Hey Gene, yes HCG injections. My labs changed (T levels dropped) and the only thing I changed is the way I was injecting and the brand. During my higher T levels, I was injecting straight into the thigh and was using Pregnyl. Then I changed to HCG from a compounded pharmacy and started injecting...

Hey guys, as the title says I'm a big wuss! My doc told me to use these small insulin 31g 8mm long needles and go straight into my thigh. I was doing that until one day I did it, it burned a little so I didn't inject and a bulge popped up about a 1/4" from where I put the needle into my skin. It...

At the levels Nelson suggested (2,000 IU a week) would you have to worry about desensitizing the testes? I'm considering upping my dosage from 600 3 times a week to 800 3 times a week as mentioned by my doc.

Hey all, New member here looking for some relief to my exhaustive struggle to correct my low T. I'm hoping someone here can shed some light on my situation. I apologize in advance for my very thorough post! I'm not really sure where to start for the sake of boring you all to death so I'll just...
