HCG dose help

[Les]

Been on cyp 10 weeks. My doctor is injecting 200mg/wk cyp, and now started 1mg/wk arimidex. TT 520 on day 6, FreeT 130 (ref 35-155), E2 52H, HCT 54H and have removed 1 unit. Dr wants to dose HCG at 3,000IUs twice weekly. I haven't seen anyone dose more than 2,000IU/wk max anywhere online. Is this dosing regimen out of line, possibly reckless? Opinions on my care, please. Thank you.

Are you trying to get your wife pregnant? Even then, your protocol will lead to very high serum testosterone. Are you sure he meant 3000 IU of HCG or 300 IU?

Thanks for your response Nelson. I want to take HCG only to prevent/reverse any testicular atrophy, not for fertility reasons. Three thousand IUs 2x per week is correct. I checked more than once with the doctor and still left there scratching my head wondering and still haven't been convinced that the dose is safe. Isn't that excessive? Will I do more harm than good at that dose? I see from your video on HCG that 250-500 IUs seems to be a reasonable dose. I also feel the effects of the arimidex (like cruddy and irritable) on the day of the dose. Thank you all.

I agree for your intended use of HcG, 250iu is plenty. 3000iu is astronomical.
