HCG dosage error

Hey guys I just started back on T and HCG and for the last month I've been injecting .5ml of HCG every 3 days a week in error instead of the .35ml that my doctor prescribed. Should I be concerned? My Hematocrit was already 50.1% before I started.

It will increase the production of endogenous testosterone but probably have little impact on hematocrit.

What you do need to be concerned about is elevated estrogen as HCG is very estrogenic at higher dosage levels.

Just go back to your original dosage and you will be fine.
 
You mean you used .5ml rather than .35mL. I hope. BUt no, there's no consequences, just start using the correct dose, everything should be fine. As Gene noted probably a little more Estrogen, you might see that come down a few points with the lower dose. You're using testosterone so there's no impact there with your own production, that's shutdown and there's no amount of HCG that is going to stim the testes for endo T.

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.
