Hi, My current protocol is 4 pumps of androgel daily with 500iu's of hCG every other day. I've hit over 1300 total T on this protocol: My labs on 4 pumps of Androgel and 500iu's of hCG EOD With the pandemic, I couldn't get the hCG and I only had one bottle left so I stretched it out. For the...

I've been on TRT for 6 years now and I have no complaints. It's been wonderful for me. I'm on 4 pumps of Androgel daily with 500iu's of HCG every other day. I remember reading, a long time ago, that HCG is recommended with TRT and one of the reasons is that it'll activate LH receptors across...

I've been on TRT since 2013 and I started at 250iu's of HCG twice a week and my testicles got softer and started shrinking. I immediately added a third shot (so now I was up to 250iu's on M-W-F) and it was fine. I then tried 150iu's per day and that went well too. I then read about fertility...

https://pagesix.com/2018/03/30/tarek-el-moussa-steroids-ruined-my-life/ So, this guy has a whole host of issues but the one thing they focus on is that he's on TRT from an "anti aging specialist" and they don't even call it TRT, they call it "steroids" It reminds me when Charlie Sheen blamed...

I was on another site (I'm not sure if I can mention other sites here so I'll just play it safe and quote the question and response) and someone asked a question about the downsides of TRT. Here is the question: "Is this true: there are countless secondary metabolic/hormonal pathways which...

Hi, I just had labs done and I'm posting them up. I wasn't expecting to see over 1300 in total T, especially since I've been on Androgel since 2014 and it's been around 600-800. All I changed was my hCG. I was doing 120iu's a day and I switched to 500 eod. I don't have it here but the...

Hi, I take 500iu's EOD of hCG. It comes in a 10,000 iu vial. What is do is add 4ml's of bac water to it and that lets me shoot 20 units for 500iu's on a 1CC insulin needle. 10,000iu's, with 4mLs of water is 2,500iu's per mL. That is 25iu's per unit so 20 units will give me 500iu's. Now...

Hi, I started TRT back in October of 2013. I've always used hCG throughout my TRT. Even though my LH and FSH was low normal, I was diagnosed with hypogonadism due to grade 2+ varicocele on my right testicle and a grade 1 varicocele on the left one. The docs have always urged surgery but I've...

I'm currently on Androgel 1.62, 4 pumps a day with 125u's of HCG daily. I switched over from injections in April. I still have 4 bottles of test cyp laying around and some exemestane (sp?). I was thinking of running a 12 week blast of 600mg's of Test C to finish out the old bottles...

My doc offered my nandrolone and aid it would help me build muscle. I read about it and it looks like it causes erectile dysfunction. When I asked him about it, he said that for some people, it can, but if it does, regular function comes back a few weeks after stopping. I read something...

Hi, How true is this statement? Someone said that on another forum and when he was asked to please explain it, he stated that gels raise DHT, which is for sex drive. On the other hand, injections raise testosterone levels higher, so that is for muscle. I've been trying to read and understand...

I was talking to my doctor about injection frequency. He prescribed 200mg's of test c (I don't inject that much, I use 100-120) and don't remember the iu's of hgc. All I know is he gave me 11,000iu's a month (I don't fill it monthly since I don't need that much and it would get expensive). I...

Hi, my doc wants to recheck my LH and FSH because he said that at physiological levels, my LH and FSH should not change. I told him that I read that exogenous testosterone causes then to turn off. He doesn't agree. Does anyone know of any studies or something that I can show him? Preferably...
