Hello Friends,

Tomorrow, I will be commencing a "restart" protocol. I would like to make sure that I have everything correct before beginning. This will be my first time administering self treatment, so any feedback is greatly appreciated! Without further ado...

Pre Treatment Test Results
  • Testosterone Total: 533 ng/dl
  • Testosterone Free: 82.6 pg/mL
  • FSH: 3.8 mIU/ML
  • LH: 1.5 mIU/ML
Recommended "Restart" Protocol Timeline

Weeks 1-2

  • 25mg Clomiphene Citrate Daily
  • 500 IU hCG 3 x per week
Weeks 3-4
  • 12.5mg Clomiphene Citrate Daily
  • 500 IU hCG 3 x per week

Weeks 5-13

  • Off
  • Post Treatment Test after 8 weeks off

Equipment / Medications
  • BAC Water (Health Supply: Reconstitution Solution) Purchased on ETSY via AToZinCo *(Store has been deleted???)
  • Easy Touch U-100 29 Gauge Insulin Syringes
  • ZyHCG 5,000 I.U. via ReliableRX
  • Fertomid 50mg. via ReliableRX
Questions

  • How will I know that I am dosing enough HCG? I have read that some men do up to 2,100 I.U. / Week.
  • *(I wasn't sure if this is Urinary or Recombinant HCG, can someone please clarify?)
  • Why did my HCG come with sodium Chloride? Do I just discard this?
  • Can I use the 29 Gauge Needle to reconstitute HCG? I saw in Nelson's Guide he Recommended a larger Needle. Also, Are these needles thicker than they have to be? Should I have gotten smaller ones for injections?
  • Is my BAC water ok? It doesn't say bac water, just Reconstitution solution, 8.9%. It was recommended somewhere on this site. Not a good sign that their store is gone...
  • Is HCG better injected Intramuscularly or Subcutaneously? And, where is the best injection site? What is the best time of day for injections?
  • I have also read some HCG protocols lasting up to 4 months. Should I try that next if this round helps but doesn't solve the problem?
Please, and thank you very much in advance! *Also, big thank you to Nelson for creating this forum. I pray this treatment will finally help me, and also help others...

:D

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.
