8 Weeks in and here are my results, opinions greatly appreciated.

I am on a total of 160mg of test a week split into 2 daily doses of 80mg. One day a week I also do 250 IU of HCG. I don't take any AI. Here are my results after 8 weeks of this protocol.

Total Testosterone is 794. Reference range is 264-916
Free Testosterone is 15.1 Reference range is 6.8-21.5
Estradiol sensitive is 32 Reference range is 8-35
Hemoglobin is 15.6 Reference range is 13-17.7
Hematocrit is 47.6 Reference range is 37.5-51%


Everything is in the normal range and I feel pretty good. I am going to up my dose to 180mg a week split into 90mg twice a week and see what happens. I thought my test with 160mg a week would be in the 900's.

I personally would want Free T a little higher, with that said, to avoid going the AI route it may be necessary to switch to an EOD protocol to keep estrogen at bay. You'll also maintain steadier higher Free T levels at trough.

What is you’re SHBG level??

Does the 250iu’s of HCG do anything for you?

Instead of increasing your testosterone dose. You may want to first try injecting HCG twice a week.

Interesting, I may consider this in the future.

Not sure Dr never requested, but when I had my SHBG tested before TRT it was on the high normal range.

Not sure I don't know what to compare it being that I have only been on TRT 8 weeks at the time of the test and this has been my protocol. Not completely dialed in I guess.

Do you think doing this will increase my T and Free T? Never thought about that. I will consider that.

There's a chance HCG may increase your T and free T. So I would increase the HCG first and see what results you get.
