    Using HCG to raise a trough.

    After reading about Dr Crisler and his take on HCG I am wondering if pushing my HCG from day 3 and 5 to day 6 and 7 (weekly Cyp injections) would help with my weekend trough. I am still trying to get my clinic to OK twice weekly injections so I am looking at this as a backup option to help...

    How long will HCG last in the fridge?

    Thats what i assumed however I'm finding forums with guys who are saying 10+ weeks with no noticeable decline (per blood work) for the HCG only protocol. I will call the pharmacy next week to make sure.

    How long will HCG last in the fridge?

    I received two vials of hcg from my local compounding pharmacy that should get me through 10 weeks. Im reading that this may exceed its refrigerated shelf life. Will it be ok that long?

    Is low iron (Ferritin) a possible reason for low SHBG?

    Just curious to hear some opinions on low ferritin levels having any direct and indirect effects (thyroid function, other) on SHBG.

    6 weeks in, TT at 330??? Low SHBG. DIM. HCG

    I will talk to them about twice weekly injections. I would consider dosing myself but the last 3 endos I had were all poorly versed on TRT and had me dosed very low so compared to that this is much better. I also think that SHBG number might be lower than my typical since I had just given blood...

    6 weeks in, TT at 330??? Low SHBG. DIM. HCG

    So I got my 6 week labs and it shows TT at 330, Estradiol at 43, SHBG 16.8 (started at 29 pre TRT) and Free T at just under 10 (they want me at 25 but I would take 15 to be honest). They have me dosed at 140mg Test Cyp weekly however after this lab they bumped me to 200mg weekly. I am doing much...

    Drastic change in blood sugar at 3 weeks after starting TRT.

    So I have a history of high blood sugar and insulin resistance. I had to be on a carb restricted diet for years because sugar and carbs cause me to put weight on rapidly. After starting TRT 3 weeks back I started noticing blood sugar drops at the end of the 3rd week. It seems that my low T may...

    If I can't afford HCG, is supplementing with Preg/DHEA the next best option?

    I've been reading lots of information out there on "backfilling pathways" and how supplementing Pregnenolone and DHEA is good in order to supply some of the missing components that TRT will suppress. I am still weighing my options but its looking like HCG may be cost prohibitive at least at this...

    Is there any way to raise Estradiol quickly?

    So just gotta wait it out it seems. Took some DHEA anyway, I notice it helps my anxiety a bit so I figured no harm. As for testing, the day of the injection e2 wasn't on range and my Total T was 210, so yeah, bones and joints hurt, popping, etc. This is what Arimedex did to me, on a tiny dose...

    Is there any way to raise Estradiol quickly?

    Started TRT Tuesday at 200mg weekly with regular testing to determine dosing adjustments. My next injection is actually on mondays moving forward so Im only 4 days out from the next injection. My problem right now is my low E2 and its wrecking my bones and joints with pain. It was under range on...
