Do most people pinch the skin to inject testosterone sq in the abdominal area? I saw the Dr Crisler's video where did not recommend pinching, just injecting straight in, because it would cause some testosterone to rebound out when releasing the skin. Does it matter?

is there an effective min dosage of hcg? or can it be administered, broken up in as many doses per week as desired. I am on 600iu's a week. my Dr said to inject twice weekly, not on same day as T.C, he stated because its too much of an estrogen rush,. He told me to inject the day before my...

Did Dr Rotman put you on daily injections at 150mg/week or did you get to that protocol/dose yourself by experimenting on how you felt? will you be injecting daily the HCG as well?

Microdosing TRT – The Future of Testosterone Replacement Therapy Introduction The premise behind microdosing Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) is quite simple; it is using the minimum effective dose, in the most effective manner, in order to achieve the desired outcome which, in this...

Thank you for pointing this out. I thought the e2 was the special test needed only, now I know e2 and TT and Free T. My doctor was only concerned about the bioavailable testosterone level. I asked him about my free T levels and he said that the bioavailable is above 190 then its sufficient. Not...

Thank you for mentioning the 2 weeks Vince. My doctor never mentioned anything except to see him in 2 months. Vergel said 1 month in his HCG video so I took it from there. I learn more from this website than seeing the Dr. Thanking everyone for contributing.

i have found that the 1 ml vials have thicker tougher rubber than 5 ml vials. like Vince said if you have to draw from 2 vials best to get another syringe.

Thank you for your input and detailed response. I did not know that I had to test the free Testosterone level with the Equilibrium Dialysis.How did you know the Free T test was the calculated version? I agree the protocol is all over the place and it was a major misstep not doing the blood...

My blood results from 100mg Test Cyp only ,once weekly injections, after one month time, tested on trough day was as follows, this was from my Dr's own in house lab; Dr's in house lab results; Hemocrit 50.4 range; [40-54] Total T 524 [193-740 ng/dl] Free T...

thank you vince

Do I inject HCG the day before my blood test on trough day or skip that dose? I am injecting e3.5d with HCG the day before each injection day. thanks

cataceous: how did you know what the right dosage was for steady state. did you increase the HCG dosage every few weeks till the pain stopped?

okay thanks John makes sense.

I think its the range of the peak-trough that tends to increase the hemocrit levels. Thats why a lot of guys here inject daily to keep the levels flat lined and minimises the HCT increases. May want to ask vince or madman for opinion.

Green Machine, How often are you injecting ? have you tried daily?

Question about HCG. I am on 120 mg T.C a week and 500iu HCG a week. Started TRT 8 weeks ago, i complained about testicles aching on 4 th week, dr put me on HCG. So on HCG addition, for 4 weeks. My testicle size was not an issue only aching,particular the left testicle. It aches like blue balls...

thank you for your reply.

nighthawk, do you inject your HCG together in one syringe with the Testosterone? Also on your EOD protocol, does this mean you inject on different days every week as you rotate through? To figure this all out,did you go for repetitive blood tests?

mooseman when you do im test every 3 days is it the same days/time every week? do you breakdown the weekly hours by 3?

thanks for the replies, it seems most guys switch to daily after their hemocrit gets too high. does this mean the body is saying the dose is super physiologic at that point and needs to be lowered?

Thank you everyone for your replies, does increasing the number of injections lead to higher free t levels, assuming the weekly amount is the same. for example 100mg\week divided into eod instead of e3.5d?

Began my journey on TRT 8 weeks ago. PRE TRT --------Total T : 215 --------SHBG: 67 ---------Free T: 2.35 --------BIOAVAILABLE T:69 --------Hemocrit : 45 ---------E2 :14 After 5 weeks of 100mg/ week Test Cypionate, HCG 250iu twice week: Total T:524 SHBG: 47 Free T...

vince, thank you for posting labs.

thanks vince, whats does your e2 run with the daily protocol you have now? also is there any evidence that IM is better than SQ for aBsorption?

whats a proper free T to estradiol ratio?

john, thank you again for explaining everything. My estradiol pre TRT was 14.6. after first six weeks was 15.6. Is it possible I would need to increase my dosage?

john, thanks for the reply. I am at the same numbers with 100mg e3.5d, so just wondering which way to go. I recently added 250iu of HCG twice weekly and I feel it helped the achy testicles but has brought me down overall, mood and libido.

thank you for the reply. by injecting e3d, will the total test and free t, be higher over e3.5d?assuming doseage total per week is the same? also what were the symptoms you had at 100mg/week that you decided 90 mg was better?

john o connor, what is your total testosterone and free T levels now that you are injecting e3d now? do you do IM injections?

thanks again everyone for your help. Madman thank you for the links you provided, will study it closely.

Thank you everyone for sharing your insights and experience.
