How many units of HCG per week (injecting 2x week) needed to maintain testicular function on TRT?

same thing as HCG?

Hello, My doc of 4 years cannot for life of him get HCG anymore. What's everyone doing? He said we could do Testosterone plus Clomid, but that sounds a little sketch.... Please assist. Thanks.

Anyone?

Hello, So my wife's latest blood work results came back and I was hoping the folks here could chime in on anything she can do to get her levels back in range. She eats healthy most of the time (around 1900 calories, plenty of protein), and does cross fit 4-5x a week. She has a stressful job and...

free t4 is barely out of optimal range though.

According to doctor google, my free t3 is optimal and free t4 is nearly optimal. TSH a bit high. Do you see something wrong?

A small bite. I will drop it and get more bloods in a few weeks.

Alright, I have been on my protocol for a few weeks now and got my first bloods back. I've been doing 50mg 2x per week, 500iu of HCG 2x per week, and a bite of a tab of Anastrozole 2x per week. My doc just emailed me these so I haven't discussed with him yet, so in your opinions, how is...

That's a lot of injections in the gut over the course of the week (4 total). As long as I do them on opposite sides I should be ok I'm assuming? Like on Monday for example, inject test cyp Sub Q on the right side of belly and HCG on the left. Vice versa on Thursday (second day of injections per...

In the gut like HCG?

Ok - is the delt not a good area to inject? Using 29g .5" 1ml insulin syringe right now. I have seen on other forums to "not use 1ml syringes", but instead use .5ml syringes. Why? Is the .5" insulin syringe long enough for the quads? Should I try SC injections with the test cyp? If so, same...

So would this work....using the 21g needle I drew the test cyp with, after injection with the 25g needle, draw the oil that gets stuck in the needle back into the syringe, put the 21g drawing needle back on, and inject it back into the vial? Would that work to save the wasted oil?

The insulin syringes don't have replaceable needles though right? How do you draw the test using the 29 gauge?

Thanks man. I just did my first shots this morning (50mg test in quad using 25g 1", and 500iu HCG subq in stomach). Question on the test injection. When I measure .25ml on the syringe (for 50mg), there seems to be a little left in the needle after injection. Is the measurement on the syringe...

So I just reconstituted my HCG and I'm hoping I did it right. The pressure of the air in the vial forced the bac. water out of the syringe into the vial a lot harder than I wanted it to...should I be worried? Also...it's a 11,000iu vial. I am taking 1000iu per week. That's 11 weeks. The vial...

Does it matter if I inject AM or PM on Mon/Thurs?

I'm assuming I shouldn't add the water to both hcg vials at the same time? Only before I'm ready to use it?

Also - how long does HCG really last? My script is for 22,000 iu (I think in two vials). so at 11,000iu per vial, and 1000iu per week, it will last me 11 weeks per vial.

So does it matter when you dose the AI if it's just going to reach steady-state anyway?

I've got people telling me to take the AI the day of injections as well. Is there any data to back up one method vs. the other?

Ok, so this: Monday: 50mg Test Cyp, 500iu HCG Tuesday: AI Thurs: 50mg Test Cyp, 500iu HCG Friday: AI

This will be T injection and HCG at the same time. Still take the AI 24 hours later?

Hey everyone, so my doc has agreed to 2x weekly cyp injections. With that said, I will be doing: Monday/Thurs for everything. 50mg cyp, 500iu HCG, 1/4 tab arimidex. Does this look good? Or should I dose the A-dex the day after?

Alright - getting to the point where the doc has submitted the scripts. Was only able to get him to agree to once a week TEST injections so far, but he did say he's not ruling out moving to two. Anyways, once a week is what I have right now, so I'm looking for suggestions on the best timing...

Ok, so what I'm hearing is: For HCG, use 29g .5" SUBQ For Test, use 29g .5" IM in quad or delt Correct?

So sub Q for both Test and HCG? Or IM with the Test in the delts or quads? Is .5" long enough to accomplish this?

Thanks for the input. Another question....I've heard people using 29g 1/2" insulin syringes for injecting Test Cyp in the quads/delts. What does everyone here use when injecting smaller amounts 2x per week? I've also heard of people injecting Test Cyp subcutaneously, just like HCG. Would love...

I think I'm going to try this to start off: 100mg Test Cyp (50mg 2x per week) - Mon/Thurs 1000iu HCG (500iu 2x per week) - Mon/Thurs .5mg Adex (.25mg 2x per week) - Mon/Thurs Thoughts? Also - is there a need to "backfill" with DHEA/pregnenolone, etc.? Or does HCG take care of the "backfilling'.

I thought that was the whole point of HCG....
