HCG, Body Temperature and Estrogen

Have you noticed a change in body temperature when starting or stopping hCG?

During the last weeks I noticed cold hands and feet as well as low body temperature in general. Three days ago I took a break from my daily hCG dose and today my early morning temperature has risen by almost 0.7° F. So if you find it interesting and are planning to start or take a break from hCG, it would be great if you could measure your temperature and report your results for a little case study.

I have to add I've been on hCG for a few months and didn't notice it in the beginnen. I think I felt rather hot during the first weeks...
An additional note: In the last three days I lost a pound of (water?) weight as well - diet didn't change.
So the question remains: Has hCG a direct influence on body temperature or is it by means of changes in estrogen? Or just coincidence?

Personally, I've never noticed a difference in my body temperature. I've been using 500iu of HCG x 2 a week for over 2 years, it's been working good for me.
 
Pre-TRT thyroid lab:

FT3 3.5 pg/ml (2.0 - 4.4)
FT4 16.9 ng/l (9.3 - 17.0)
TSH 1.43 microlU/ml (0.27 - 4.20)

TPO and TRAK were measured quite some time ago and were at the low bottom of the range.

My TRT protocol is 65 - 70 mg T enanthate per week (in divided injections) and 50 IU hCG daily.

I was doing e4d T injections and got to these levels:

T 752 ng/dl
E2 30.8 pg/ml

After that I switched to eod T injections and will get full blood work in a few weeks, including my first thyroid panel on TRT.

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.
