Hey guys,


Wanted to try HCG as my boys are shrinking to peanuts after 14 months on TRT...im on 100mg test e split doses E2D to control E2. I am prone to anxiety but would like to give hcg a good go to regulate all the other hormones im missing out on due to my LH being 0 etc.  I had a 150 iu pregnyl dose weeks ago and it gave me the worst breathing troubles for 3 days and I nearly ended up in ER ! even valium was struggling to release my chest enough to allow me to breathe and I was using 2.5 mg every 3 hrs !...told my Dr and he said a few on his guys respond with extreme anxiety to hcg ! Anyway wanted to try 50 iu and see how I go ...would 50iu say 2x a week offer any benefits? maybe my body will start to accept it and i will be able to build up over time to 100 then 150 etc? OR is there another alternative to stimulating my LH ? I know tribulis is meant to do this and it used to work for me prior to TRT so maybe I could give it a try and get bloods done in a few weeks...atleast I wont feel like im dieing lol...thx

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.
