    Not enough cholesterol for hormone pathway?

    Curious of something. If you’re taking hcg to help keep those hormone pathways flowing from LH but your hdl cholesterol is low. Does this reduce how effective in turn the hcg is having results for you mentally?

    Can anyone explain HCG suppression? What does it suppress? How?

    I haven’t really found a straight answer on this, but see HCG suppression often mentioned. These questions afd for a man taking ONLY HCG, and no other compounds along with it (no TRT or testosterone at all): What exactly does it suppress? If one takes HCG, and is NOT also taking testosterone...

    Libido: hCG vs higher T / E2

    When people say that hCG improves libido, it seems like a huge confounding factor to me that it also substantially increases your testosterone level and especially your E2, while reducing the T/E2 ratio. Has anyone achieved the same or very similar levels of T and E2 both on and off hCG to...

    Back to TRT

    After giving Enclomiphene a try for about a year a half (with decent results, at least from a numbers standpoint) and occasionally mixing in some testosterone nasal gel from Empower (can't stand the gel in my nose and running down my throat), I've been off everything since April. I knew that my...

    TRT doesn't cause deficiency of Preg/DHEA/Prog and HCG doesn't fix it

    That is the bold claim made by this user on Reddit: What do you guys think? Is this why most men on TRT are doing well without supplementing the upstream hormones?

    HCG Plus Androgens Other Than Test

    So I stumbled across this thought in my own head and it turns out it has been done before. I'm not sure why I never thought of it because it doesn't seem that crazy. I searched a few bodybuilding forums and it has been done with success and people tend to cite this article Primobolan Depot -...

    What causes low prolactin and IGF-1 when all else looks great?

    I received my new labs after 8 weeks on my new protocol. I don't take T. I take HCG 250IU x4wk and 50mg enclomiphene x 4wk. TT is 956 ng/dL r264-916, FT 17.3 pg/dL r6.6-18.1, E 38.4 pg/dL r7.6-42.6, but prolactin is 3.6 ng/dL r4.0-15.2, and IGF-1 65 ng/mL r64-240. I'm concerned about the...

    Compound Pharmacy Kickbacks

    Did doctors get kickbacks when they (could) prescribe HCG from Empower/Hallandale? People always said that TRT clinics “made a fortune” when dispensing HCG. So was there any system by which HCG could be prescribed and the doctor could make a profit?

    Will testicles return to original size on HCG?

    Been on TRT for 4 years. My dosing schedule and bloods are all dialed and have been for 6+ months. I’m only taking Test Cyp, no other meds for TRT. My testicles have shrunk by more than half and are slightly less than the size of a grape. Will starting HCG thru Defy or another men’s clinic...

    HCG low E2

    Few years ago I crashed my e2 from AI. Since that I suffer from low e2 for months even on 350mg of test per week. Now I can manage my e2 only by test E but I don’t feel well balanced on any level of e2.. Definitely I am missing something, my DHEA is low, my Pregnenolone is low, my progesterone...
