    Long-Term HCG Monotherapy Results

    Alright, doctor is on board with my plan - I found a few more studies regarding the benefits of smaller, more regular doses, too, so that's also encouraging. We are going to re-test in a month. Also 2500iu twice a week was a typo on their end, thank goodness. If my current change to the dosing...

    Long-Term HCG Monotherapy Results

    Anecdotal could-be-placebo results after four days of 300iu a day: holding surprisingly little water after a big holiday meal, libido through the roof.

    All HCG is NOT the same. Your balls care. Part 2

    Yeah, I've bought the Sifasi and ZyHCG from them and it was "eh." - they nominally have Pregnyl, but I've never seen it actually in stock.

    Long-Term HCG Monotherapy Results

    Totally, yeah. Also, I swore I wrote more in the above post. So, basically, I'm at 2,000iu right now, injected as 1,000iu twice a week. The doctor wants me to go up to 2,500iu twice a week (5000iu weekly). This is a non-starter for the simple fact that a 10000iu vial has just doubled in price...

    Long-Term HCG Monotherapy Results

    Doctor says no tamoxifen, he doesn't use it. He wants me to drastically increase my HCG dose and drop anastrozole. I have proposed something different, because they cannot keep my dumb ass off of PubMed. This study found that daily, small doses of HCG not only prevent your leydig cells from...

    Long-Term HCG Monotherapy Results

    Hi there! Thanks for hopping in. I’ll address these in order: re 1 and 2, if I understand you correctly, zinc and other things I may be taking may be inhibiting aromatization, explaining the low e2. This is possible but as the e2 has been low-ish about once a year since I started getting blood...

    Long-Term HCG Monotherapy Results

    Eyyy, there’s a familiar name! And yeah, I mean, I certainly don’t feel as good as I did at 550 but I also don’t feel as bad as I did at, uh, 97. It’s very fuzzy, like I can’t articulate the specifics I just feel like I’m not feeling as good as I could be. But that could be unrelated to my...

    Long-Term HCG Monotherapy Results

    I appreciate the perspective! I recently started taking a supplement containing boron, which can lower SHBG, so I may drop that as well. My apologies for not mentioning that in the original post. In the interest of completeness, the only other supplements I take are a stim-free preworkout, fish...

    Long-Term HCG Monotherapy Results

    Alright, I've got an idea. I have read a few studies suggesting that tamoxifen citrate (Nolvadex) may have a synergistic effect in increasing testosterone in the case of long-term HCG monotherapy as it can block desensitization of the leydig cells (example: Tamoxifen suppresses...

    Long-Term HCG Monotherapy Results

    Hi folks, Longtime lurker, first time poster. I see some familiar names here, though I tend to use different names on different forums. I am 34 years old. I've been on HCG Monotherapy for almost seven years now, starting in January of 2017. I was on clomid from 2014-2017, but we could never...

    All HCG is NOT the same. Your balls care. Part 2

    Howdy everyone. Long time lurker, first time poster. Has anyone personally had any experience with the above mentioned overseas Pregnyl? (ie not the stuff sold here in the US made by Merck?) I am prescribed HCG Monotherapy but we are increasing my dose as my levels are starting to dip after...

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
