HCG dosage and when and how often to inject

[Mike9876]

I've been on TRT for about 6 months. About 3-4 weeks in, I really wasn't feeling great. Some folks on here suggested that some guys don't do well on HCG,so I stopped that. After many months I came to the conclusion that the issues I was having in those early weeks almost certainly weren't related to HCG. So I've started taking it again. I've been doing HCG again now for about a week.
I currently inject 85mg cypionate per week, injecting EOD. (That's 85mg total per week, not 85mg per injection). For the past week I've also been injecting 200iu of HCG (seperate syringe) at the same time as my test injection. Which equates to 700iu HCG per week.

Questions:
The reason I inject test EOD is because my low SHBG (very low 20's).
Is it necessary to also inject HCG EOD because of my low SBHG, or would twice a week be ok.
Also, what weekly dosage of HCG would people recommend per week?

I have noticed that my balls have become significantly smaller and softer over the past 4-5 months and this, as well as other reasons is why I want to do HCG again.

Any advice is much appreciated.

There's really no HCG strategy any more, you can invent anything from 100iu daily to 500iu 3x per week and anything in between and be perfectly fine. Trial on your part is the only way to find what you like, or don't.

Depends on your goals. A guy trying to maintain fertility is going to be much different than a guy just trying to keep his balls large and full. I inject 250iu every Monday and Friday. My goal is to inject the smallest dose to get the desired results. This small dose keeps my boys happy and has minimal effect on my E2 levels.

I agree it's different for everyone. I inject 500 IU of HCG twice a week.

Doing about 325iu every other day here. used to do 1000 a week in whatever doses. My thinking is if you're close on your AI dose to keeping E2 where you want it, can maybe use the HCG dose to tweak the E2 number without messing with the AI since that can be difficult for some.

Tried everything from 500 3 times per WK to 250 twice per week and all elevated estrogen levels beyond what I could control without AI. Now on daily 100 iu with 200mg cream and we will see

Keep us updated...I am thinking about switching back to the cream and trying to restart my HCG at 110, as well.
