Can an 1150 Total T crash your libido?

Injecting HCG the day before your Test was the protocol back when a once a week T injection injection was the norm. If you are injecting at least twice or more often weekly then it doesn't matter. You can inject the HCG the day before or the same day as Test.
 
To add to a bit to this conversation. I started out on about 86mg per week. It got me up to almost 800, then I fell back to low 500s. (HCG 400iu 2x per week) I changed my dosage to about 106mg T cyp. per week EOD and cut my HCG back a bit and have been steady now for a several months with Total T in the upper 700s. Just a small increase in dosage every week made an over 200 point increase. Feeling good. I don't think there is any need, at least for me, to be any higher with the total T.
 
I've always like having my T level over 1000, that's where I feel the best. I now inject T daily, when I injected every 3 1/2 days I liked to inject HCG on the same day as my T injection.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
