Understanding Testosterone Deficiency (TD)
Testosterone deficiency (TD) is a condition characterized by insufficient testosterone production by the gonads. Regular morning testosterone (T) readings below 300 ng/dl are indicative of TD. Symptoms of TD can include poor libido, erectile...
I have been having low test symptoms so my dr decided to do hcg mono at 1000 IU 3x a week for 2 months. When I asked him if pct is required he said no. Is hcg suppressive for 2 months use and do I need pct after?
Prior to HCG monotherapy baseline:
Total T ~350ng/dL
SHBG ~17 nmol/L
Estrodial ~25 pg/ml
Free T ~13pg/mL.
I was prescribed HCG 3x per week at 300 units each day. Results:
Total T 326ng/dl
SHBG 11 nmol/L
Estrodial ~25 pg/ml
Free T ~20pg/mL
I should note that LH/FSH were 7/2 respectively before...
Hey guys, I’ve been on trt for maybe 10 years now, and have been experimenting on dosing etc. I was on 100mg a week test plus 1000 hcg weekly and my TT was 600 and free T 165 (35-155 range). Then I bumped up the hcg cause my testicles were still smaller , I bumped up to 1700 weekly hcg, now my...
I am 36 with total T ranging from 350-400 ng/DL over several tests in the past twelve months. Other relative datapoints: SHBG is low (16.6, reference range: 16.5-55.9), LH at a decent level (6.8, reference range: 1.7-8.6).
I told the doctor that I wanted to try Natesto/Troches, but he...
Hi guys, I promised I searched for an hour and didn’t find the answer, in case it is in a thread somewhere obvious. I am on HCG mono with decent results, but i need my T to be a little higher and E to be a little lower based on how I feel and bloodwork taken based on those feelings.
When...
Hello folks,

Hello,
I am a 29 year old male, fit with low bodyfat and decent muscle mass (if that matters). I have a prescription for HCG Monotherapy that I am still deciding whether or not to use. Before anyone asks, I have no desire for TRT at this stage in life due to it permanently shutting down...
]My Family Doc is ready to offer me TRT but I was hesitant given my age (32). He said we could try a round of HCG Mono to "jump start" my system. I just finished my second week of HCG - 1,000 its every 72 hours.
I've been experiencing low T symptoms since my early 20s - biggest symptom being...
I wanted to give my story for anyone who is or has been in this situation. I know there have been a lot of success stories given on here but one more couldn't hurt.
From 2008-2018 I was on high dose AAS/testosterone with almost no ancillaries or HCG. I am now 41, so basically my entire 30s and...

Hello. So little history, I had few month run with arimidex only over a year ago for trying to boost lowish T which was a terrible mistake. Since then (even months and months after quitting) I've had persistent symptoms which consist of for example almost constant sweating/hot flashes type...

As a secondary case of hypogonadism I began therapy 4 weeks ago with 1,000IU injections 2x weekly. I have yet to have to retested blood work to see if it has improved my levels, but I have not noticed any benefit yet. My question is based off of peoples experiences how long does it usually take...
Hi all,
I realize there's another active thread with a similar question - but this is slightly different, so bear with me.
After 9 years of Clomid monotherapy, and then 6 months of Clomid/anastrozole, I'm currently on HCG monotherapy - not taking anything else - and the benefits are amazing...
Hey all, this is my first post. I'm sorry if this is not the right place for this but i was seeking some guidance since I'm sort of freaking out due to possible gyno symptoms on my HRT protocol.

I noticed my...
Thyroid interpretation requested too. Thanks!
Hi, due to circumstances beyond my control I was OFF my hCG mono therapy for 5 full days prior to this Nov draw. This explains ( I hope) the T at 116). How does that skew the other results?
Symptoms: morning fatigue, improving since hCG.

Hi, Doc will discontinue hcg and will also not prescribe any alternate such as cyp once hematocrit reaches the upper limit of 52%. He specifically does not believe in phlebotomy -ever-. I am now at 50.5% in my 5th month of hcg mono.
I posted my labs in the appropriate thread but got no...
