This is a volume of oil, not a dose as expressed in milligrams. Assuming you are drawing from a vial of testosterone marked 200mg/ml, you are injecting 80mg of testosterone twice weekly. A significant dose that hasn’t moved your levels at all.56, weed smoker 30 years ago, lozartan for high blood pressure, yes, yes. Test .40 twice a week, hcg 500, twice a week.
Get rid of the HCG ... try it. I Took hCG for years and after I stopped my morning erections came back nothing else changed .. I never wanted to stop it but when I finally did my erection is improved greatly I have no idea why and I’ve heard that happened to many people
It’s a hard call... I don’t know if HCG affects erections but I certainly will use it as testicular atrophy is definitely a HUGE thing for me. I’m off TRT for a while (ran out of cypionate during travel) and my testicles have become fuller and normal again. I know when I restart TRT I will go with HCG as well. My atrophy had just started when I had to travel abroad so it didn’t take long to recoup. However, I take Cialis as needed or Viagra which don’t work too well without the Cypionate... a catch 22.Now that you mention it, I never developed ED until I started taking HCG. Everything was working fine except for the testicular pain and atrophy.
