[QUOTE="Re-Ride, post: 23588, member: 8395"] @dj: My experience with hCG may or may not be relevant to your situation. You have unique concerns in that you stated you wish not to impact LH FSH too much. Only testing will answer how varying doses affect your serum levels. Concern for permanent harm is justified with all drug and hormone use HOWEVER I have come to believe, after research and personal experience, that hCG us is safe even at higher doses. I no longer subscribe to the as yet unproven theory that leydig cells can be damaged by hCG. **There is no research on human subjects that supports this widely circulated internet rumor** Suggested hCG dosing ranges from 100 iu/day to 12,000 iu per week. 4,000 iu 3x week is mentioned on the APP package insert for "select cases of male hypoG" That is what I was prescribed.
