2000iu D per day is usually sufficient, +1 on the FSH, trying to revive sperm on HCG only is kind of outdated anyway, you only need a little bit of hcg to have some intratesticular testosterone with the FSH.

Hey i remember you legend, remind me if it was subq or IM? HCG was never in the picture if i remember correctly.

Have you ever measured through levels in the morning, assuming you only apply in the morning?

How about trying out a reduced dose of HCG, for example 500iu 3xwk, and dropping the AI, that e2 level is IMO low considering that your t-levels are so high, which leads me to believe a drop in hcg dose would still leave you with plenty of T, gonads definitely going strong with you. Maybe the AI...

then there are reports of some guys cruising on hcg mono on doses such as 250iu 3xweek, 500iu 2xweek. There are no studies validating the claim that hcg mono works only with higher doses, supraphysiological ITT was always required for fertility when rFSH was not used. Would be nice to have a...

Goals is wellbeing, libido and erections, steady state. If ITT is almost maintained on 250iu eod, and 25% more on 500iu eod, i don't know if even on monotherapy one should be going higher, the higher doses are probably just thought to be necessary for monotherapy due to being present in...

I wish Saya had chosen 250iu instead of the 150iu and included testosterone measurements. This data most are probably familiar with seems to indicate no need for more than e3.5d administration when it comes to maintaining testosterone with HCG alfa.(fig 3)...

That is what i would like to know, seems these two are the most common approaches found on the internet, the Saya study Nelson linked does not really make sense in the sense that so many use 250 mon-wed-fri, and many even use just 250 every 3,5 days. In my case there seems to be a loss of...

For me, dry eye sypmtoms always get better on testosterone, in my natural hypogonadal state i can hardly read after sauna.

Are you drinking coffee, i am not the only one who had a significant drop in BP after giving up coffee.

How did it go? It seems the natural daily fluctuation in young males tends to be something like 30%, with this gel the difference is way more, and also my own anecdotal expreriments say that endogenous production is not activated during 12-24hrs post testavan application.

I'm planning on trying out testavan gel soon, since studies claim it comes back to baseline after 12hrs, applied in the morning, there might be some endogenous activity during the night, at the very least large daily fluctuation in levels. Will take LH in the morning, who knows it might not be...

Yes it's absolutely wise to check both 4 hours after and 24 after to see if the pharmacology holds true. Those are averages anyway.

You're probably using androgel 1.62%? There is actually pharmacology claiming the levels with gels are not fluctuating as much as one would think. One exception is testavan gel that peaks fast. And then there is Testavan

After matching, 10,511 men who experienced an any increase in Hct after initiating TTh and an equal number of controls who did have an increase in Hct were included. Compared to controls who did not have an increase in Hct after starting TTh, the men who had an increase in subsequent Hct had a...

Excessive erythrocytosis compromises the blood-endothelium interface in erythropoietin-overexpressing mice https://physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1113/jphysiol.2011.209262

Did they measure only daily through with the gel in traverse study?

In other words 30-40mg twice a week Good point, also if enanthate is non-pharma you never know, most often you'd probably get less though.

Don't know if you are looking for encouragement or opinions but i say you are totally justified to have your needs met elsewhere after trying to resolve matters with her, for one she is not fullfilling her wifely duties, sex and at the very least intimacy is a big part of good health and...

Post #5...but yeah definitely needs to be emphasized when considering labwork.

Hmm, periodic as in every two weeks...almost sounds like 200mg enanthate or cypionate every 2 weeks :)

At one point i tried for a couple of months 60mg nebido weekly on glute fat, result was very low levels at through. Might be just me.

Nice write up, i'm actually pretty convinced by now that nebido is not what it is on paper, meaning the curve is not linear, each dose does leave a residue for much longer time than shorter esters, but the bulk of any dose peaks FAST, and comes down fast, in my case 6 days after 1000mg dose my...

I've also been using potassium enriched salt, obv i'm not getting those precious trace minerals, but hard to say if extra potassium is a bigger advantage, the invention of sodium salt was a big deal decades ago allegedly, a way to further reduce sodium intake after it had been figured out that...

I tend to side with this, but with all the literature the folks saying there is no such thing as too much are making fools of themselves, on the low sodium front nobody is saying you don't need any salt, so the other extreme is missing. One big argument is looking at whole foods, did our...

The good thing is, if some contamination were to occur, subq will be better than IM, if you wipe the rubber with alcohol i think chances of contamination are really slim. Are you injecting in stomach area? Would be interesting to see what kind of blood levels you are getting, please post...

It's "funny" how divided the stances on salt, among many other things are, how can both be scientifically right at the same time, we will probably never reach a consensus on this

trial and error, seems highly individual, why not try taking half of what you are currently taking?

I have had this happen as well, probably fluid retention, or reaction to carrier oil or BB

It always puzzled me how and why he ended up using 5000iu, and no less than twice per week, the most sensible scenario is that pregnyl etc come in that and are labeled single use.

How long do you think it takes for BB to leave the system after injection?
