Interesting discussion. Can I ask a related question (happy to move it to another thread so as not to hijack this one)?
I am currently in the process of evaluating life without hCG. I stopped about a week ago and have been running Natesto alone. I am looking for some information on hCG elimination based on half-life assumptions. It is essentially a basic pharmacokinetics question:
The half-life of Pregnyl is 23 hours. We'll call it one day to make things easy. Assuming Pregnyl follows first order kinetics, if it takes 4-5 half-lives to reach steady state, then is it safe to assume it takes 4-5 half-lives to almost completely eliminate the drug from steady state?
