[QUOTE="Cataceous, post: 250263, member: 38109"] Something else that needs to be hammered into our heads is that it doesn't take that much testosterone to have normal sexual function and libido. Probably 95+% of guys can function normally on a total testosterone of 550-600 ng/dL, assuming normal SHBG—so that free testosterone is also mid-range. In many cases higher testosterone is detrimental due to its disruption of many other hormones; only the muscles benefit. Taking 75 mg TC per week is reasonable if it's in divided doses. Be aware that this is still above the average testosterone production rate for healthy young men; odds are it's more testosterone than you made naturally in your prime. Be consistent with this and give it some months. I don't think it's unreasonable to continue with low hCG dosing, though some argue in favor of starting with T only. However, I lean towards avoiding testicular atrophy, and 250 IU hCG twice a week is low enough to lessen the odds of side effects. Personally I think PT-141 should be for emergency use only. It's so strong in typical doses that I worry about the potential for long-term side effects when it's used more than occasionally. [/QUOTE]
