I am 54 and considering HCG. Over a decade ago I tried testosterone shots and found they made me feel amazing. It was just an experiment I tried a couple of times.
I am in Bangladesh at the moment, and considering what tests to take. I haven't decided on anything. I have a lot of friends who are doctors who I can talk this over with. BTW, 5000 IU of pregyl is $22 here.
Years ago I had huge drive and energy. I want that back, at least for a while, to take advantage of some opportunities. I also have reduced libido, with virtually no spontaneous erections.
I read this list here. Does it include all the essentials for me?
