Your T is high compared to mine. Much higher. I take 140mg/cypionate a week and it’s only at 700 as reported on my labs at week 6 on TRT. My monthly dosage is 560mg. No HCG or AI either.

Thanks for your detailed response. Do you use hCG?

That’s good to know. If mine vanished I want them back ASAP. I don’t mind fertility as I’m 58 but I’m certainly attached to my testicles. Literally.

You’re taking 142mg every 10 days or 426mg every 30 days. May you elaborate as to how it makes you feel differently?

I will definitely start taking hCG and stick to it. I don’t want testicular atrophy that’s for sure. What’s the most frequent side effect of hCG? Thank you

That’s why it can become very complex then

I’ve read frequently that the aromatization in the testicles caused by hCG is more difficult to manage than the otherwise produced by T alone. As you say, the benefits of hCG are important. If decreasing or changing hCG injection frequency doesn’t help, would Arimidex or any other estradiol...

My hunch is that if it’s working for you, accuracy isn’t a problem. The only way to guarantee your taking 5mg daily is to buy that strength specifically. The fact that Cialis is in your body consintenty is what matters. Pill cutters can help but cialis has an awkward shape and they come uneven...

Overall I do feel fine. I’m sort of new in this journey which is going to be a lifetime commitment so my guess is that I will have to deal with issues as they arise. I’m glad to know that my estradiol is not too high. I had no idea where it was before my labs as I was put on TRT. As a matter of...

I hear you. It makes sense. I was hoping I wouldn’t have to take HCG but a lot of guys take it and do well on it. I really don’t want my testicles to change and my Dr said that if I notice signs of atrophy I should give him a call. He said is reversible.

I had no idea about numbers indeed. I thought that going from 316 to 700ng in 6 weeks was magnificent. What’s a good number though? My E2 went from 8 to 26 in the same period. Is that too much? Or a bad sign rather?

Is testicular atrophy a given for all men on TRT? My estradiol before TRT was 8. 6th week on TRT was 26. The jump was high. Should I be concerned? My next labs will be at the end of May

The script should be written for 5mg of generic Cialis Daily (Tadalafil) which is used to treat BPH and you might get it covered by your insurance or use a GoodRx Coupon and pay cash (around 114$ per 30 tablets). You can split the tablets in half to get 2.5mg if you get sides from the 5mg...

Does your protocol include HCG?

What’s your T dosage?

I was put on 140mg T cypionate per week and my trough was 700ng but no HCG in my protocol. Not just yet. Perhaps HCG mono therapy might work for you in such a small dose? My Dr doesn’t want me beyond 700ng but he soon will start me on HCG because of signs of testicular atrophy. I’ll be facing a...

Thanks! In the age of technology it never crossed my mind to do that. Clever.

EOD as I understand it, will change the days I inject. I found that hard to follow I decided to go ED. However, the small amount of T Cypionate in the syringe makes me wonder if I’m wasting more than injecting. ED injections cleared my chest acne but I also lowered my dose from 140mg to 100mg...

yes, it has to do with it being a controlled substance. However, you’re getting more than you need anyway so it doesn’t make sense anyway. My problem is that I travel and ran out of T Cypionate and had to interrupt my TRT. So far so good though. When I’m back in the states my Dr will check my...

I read you live in Massachusetts and the laws are definitely very restrictive. I live in Massachusetts and no pharmacy has ever allowed me to get a 10ml/200mg of T Cypionate Like you said it’d last me for months. My Dr says he has been unsuccessful every single time to have one of his scripts...

I don’t know if you have already mentioned this before, did you have testicular atrophy before you started taking HCG? My Dr will prescribe me HCG when my testicles become atrophied which now after reading a lot of posts, doesn’t make sense to wait to resolve. My point is to make it part of my...

I think you came out with a good plan indeed. 75mgx4= 300 mg which is 3 vials of 1ml of cypionate which is what the Dr has prescribed you. Your peaks and valleys will be shorter hence a smaller but more frequent dosis can be very beneficial. You can try injecting 2x/week also. 32.5 on Monday...

I found the information on Dr Crisler’s HCG protocol as you mentioned above

You can buy 10,000IU of Pregnyl for 108$ with a GoodRx coupon. Go to their website and download the app. It’ll give you prices. I’d suggest you call first to find out if they carry it or can order it if not. A guy from this thread uses Walmart specialty Pharmacy and they mail it to him with...

When you say .25cc do you mean .50 mg of cypionate? Your T levels are very high even fof cypionate if I understood correctly. Interesting information.... so Dr Crisler went to 700 iu per week... and yes, based on what you say, it makes sense how side effects would be the major issue from HCG...

Have you heard of Dr Crisler HCG Protocol? He prescribes HCG up to 500mg two days before the patient’s test injection if he injects once a week. If the patient injects cypionate twice a week, Dr Crisler’s protocol is 200-250mg before each injection, never more than 500 mg per week. HCG increases...

I know. I just wished pharmacies would follow my Dr’s script and give me one and make my life easier. That would save me money too.

I don’t get a 10ml/200mg vial even though my urologist has written a prescription. They will give me what I need in 1 ml vials regardeless of what the script says. Pharmacists aren’t very smart to understand that the refill will happen only after three months or more. I take 140mg of cypionate...

Is this the article you are referring to? Rather interesting Is Testosterone Detrimental to Renal Function?

You’re correct. Hypogonadism will affect erections that viagra can’t help to improve. I read that during some Viagra studies men with low testosterone weren’t allowed to participate for that reason.

Thank you for the information. Pregnyl is the least expensive option with a GoodRx coupon I checked. It’s interesting that when I looked up for compounded HCG I always get an HCG diet website and it’s much more expensive even though it’s made by a compounding pharmacy. I discarded this way to...
