hCG alternatives?

Hello!

I'm a Norwegian male, suffering from hypogonadism. Unfortunately, the only hCG option available here is a pre-filled pen, brand named "Ovitrelle". This contains 250 micrograms, which equals to just about 6500 IU's. This is obviously far too much for TRT use, and I've been discouraged by my MD to attempt to split this up. We used to have Pregnyl available at the pharmacy, but this is no longer the case. My question is therefore: Is there any other gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogues which can be used as an alternative to hCG? I know hMG is an option, but this is far to expensive (150$+ for 75IU's).

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.
