Adding HCG to my protocol

[Green Arrow]

I inject T every 3.5 days, Tuesday morning and Friday night. I will be adding HCG back into my protocol, twice weekly.

My question is when is the ideal time to take the shots of HCG? Day before my T shot? Day after?

this is from Nelson - HCG peaks 1 and 2 days after injection (two peaks instead of one in studies using higher doses).

I inject HCG the same day I inject my T.

I am on the exact same schedule as you, tue a.m. and fri p.m., I inject T cyp in shoulders and hcg in stomach on same days. This works for me. As far as "ideal" time im not sure about. Some guys inject hcg smaller doses every day, others 2x per week. Did your doc recommend any schedule?

how much hcg and test cyp are you injecting on those days?

As long as you are doing your T shots twice a week, its not critical when you do your HCG. Many of us do it on the same days as T for convenience.

I inject 50mg T and 170iu hcg tue and fri

Good luck! I definitely noticed an increase in my libido when I introduced HCG!

*After typing this out on my phone I figured I'd apologize upfront if this is TMI*

I now take 70 mg of T cyp twice weekly IM in my shoulders. When I was on hcg I took two 250iu shots sub q to the belly on the 4th and 5th day after my once weekly shot of 100 mg of T.

I didn't notice much of anything while on hcg for a few months and since I was not so concerned with preserving fertility or the drop in my ball size I stopped taking it.

Having had, and dealing with a very weak libido throughout this whole thing, and after reading here that hcg helps some guys with that, I recently mixed a vial I've had that was past the expiration date (I hadn't used it previously). I thought I'd check if a higher dose of this expired stuff would do anything. 500 iu the day after my T shot.

I've only taken this expired stuff twice this week, but thus far I've experienced a noticeable response which I only felt on the days that I took it. My body feels much more responsive but I don't feel like I retain that responsiveness for much longer after that first day. This has me considering if daily shots and a greater weekly dose will help get me to where I want to be.

I will deal with daily injections if that's what it takes. I've been taking some of the ingredients of Gene's stack for several weeks now. 1 mg of doxacard twice daily, 1.5 mg of citrulline twice daily, 10 mg generic cialis once daily.

Apart from helping lower my elevated blood pressure, the stack has helped with the quality of erection I can get but I still require a great amount of stimulation to get erect, and require a good amount still to maintain that erection as I start to lose it when I cease stimulation. This had me wondering if the generic cialis I got was junk, though I got it from a source that I read here is reliable.

A few weeks ago I was able to get an erection albeit of poor quality through oral stimulation but only maintained it through that constant initial stimulation. I didn't get as hard as I could and I couldn't maintain the erection I did get for sex.

The hcg appears to help with responsiveness that my body otherwise doesn't have on "my stack" alone. I can get harder than I can ever recall on my own through the same constant effort of stimulation that I usually require for an orgasm from an erection of just decent quality without hcg. It's like my body gets the signal that I'm "ramping up" on the days I do take hcg. It is my hope that I can maintain this level of responsiveness for and during sexual activity with a partner.

I'm excited and very hopeful that this combination will finally give me a libido to speak of. Just as a closing note, I can't be sure if my doctor ordered the correct tests for E on all of the previous labs I've had taken throughout my treatment, but he has previously told me that my results thus far have suggested I have low E. I've had readings ranging from 8 to a high of 17. This coupled with my total T of under 700 was the reasoning for upping my dose a couple of months ago.

I will have numbers to provide soon for a better picture of what is going on with me now, as I am just awaiting lab results.

I should note that I linked up with my doctor as an anti-aging patient. He was a bit concerned about putting me on TRT at first as I was his youngest candidate for it at the time. I am now 30 and I've stuck with him because he hasn't looked to screw me at every turn as I've read about others' experiences with anti aging clinics.

He took me off of an AI I insisted on taking at first, after he got some of my labwork, which is what probably tanked my E levels. Other than that he has stressed its about how I feel and that we can adjust my protocol based on that and within reason with regard to my labwork.

I'm not sure about his level of expertise being on par with some of the doctors mentioned throughout these forums but thus far I feel very comfortable with him.

Having your E2 too low does bad things to libido and makes ED worse, among other issues, so going off the AI was definitely a smart move. It can take a while to recover from it though.

I'm injecting 90 mg of T and 500 iu of HCG twice a week.

Just read your other post about injecting 80mg with very impressive numbers. How have they changed after moving to 90mg?

I moved to 90 mg right after my labs, will have labs again in March. I do feel excellently. I asked if I could move up and they allowed me to.
