Yep all WNL with T at 1200 which is on the high end of the “reference range” but my negative symptoms which prompted therapy are gone so going to continue with this. Will need to retest when I add hcg back in and see how that goes. That said e2 imo should not be altered unless you’re showing...

Thought I’d leave an update- turns out that the HCG was causing these issues. Once I stopped hcg, it took about 2 weeks for burning skin sensations to go away. Now, I’m taking just test E 100mg twice a week and doing well. I also decided to have my sperm frozen as peace of mind in case fertility...

Man holy cow you need to get off testosterone and see a doc asap.

Try klonopin 1-2 mg if nothing else worked

It wasn’t hot flashes, I felt like I had a sunburn on my face arms and legs for 2 weeks and was so fatigued I could barely function. It sucked. Been 2 weeks since hcg and much better. My e2 was not high at all in hcg + T, 38 with TT at 900

uHCG made me hot as hell and feel Like absolute shit. I had to dc it. I am going to try Ovidrel if I can get insurance to cover cost. Else I am freezing sperm in case I need to be on trt without hcg, as I cannot tolerate any hcg it took 2 weeks for me to feel Normal again. It was fine for about...

Holy cow that is super serious. Get well Soon. Youll Likely need to be in blood thinners for at least a year. We’re you immobilized for a long time on a flight or long term Car ride at any point in the last month?

I called empower and spoke to pharmacist- they only have uHCG... Has anyone heard of a compounder thst makes the rHCG?

Spoke to a pharmacist at the specialty pharmacy that dispensed the rx pregnyl. She believed this is a classic case of hypersensitivity to the hcg. Rare occurring in less than 1% of users- but it would never go away with prolonged exposure and recommend discontinuing use. Now I need to see if...

Vince Sleep hygiene is very important- stop using screens an hour before bed. Also your bedroom should not have tv in it; only use bed for sleep and sex. Additionally, a time release melatonin is available on Amazon. I personally need to use sleeping pills and am Groggy in the morning, but...

Nature’s bounty makes 1 mg tabs. Not sure why anyone would need less Than that it barely does anything at 1 mg

Anybody reading this ever get hypersensitivity to HCG shot? It’s been 5 days since last and the symptoms are improving very much. Problem is I don’t wa t to be on trt if I can’t keep fertile. Catch 22 indeed.

You can get 1 mg melatonin tabs on amazon. I take 5 mg nightly.

Ok I will keep that in mind! Thanks

Looks like the rHCG is only available in profiled 250 mcg syringes. Also expensive as as heck’s do you get this compounded or something?

Thanks for replying- I stopped HCG so far 4d and will wait that out. I’ve found a few users in different forums (no published case studies however) of HCG causing these symptoms. I’m hopeful cutting it out will solve this before I head out on my anniversary trip next week. Couple links here...

How long did these symptoms persist when you ceased all test and hcg? Also did you need clomid for a restart?

Crazy same issue it has to be the hcg. Same thing with mild sunburn like feeling that starts in afternoon, peaks in evening, can even feel a mild burn on tops of arms legs and back. Exact same thing. Really want to preserve fertility but this is terrible. I’ll be stopping hcg until this...

Hi Vince and Wsj it was the sensitive e2 test. Tried cyp with grape seed the. Switched to E made with sesame. Don’t think that the T is the culprit. Burning gets worse after hcg dose. LFTs: normal Shbg: 25 nmol/L: right in middle of ref I’m not sure that fluctuating testosterone can cause...

Hi all very glad to have found this board. Long time listener first time caller. Weeks later and Have a wicked side effect now of brain fog, “tightness” around my eyes, lack of focus and visibly hot face with red nose cheeks forehead and ears. Sometimes my arms or back has a slight burning...
