I was taking HCG 500ius E3D along with 60mg of T twice a week. My E (sensitive) was at 66 (range <29). Weak erections etc. I went to daily HCG at 100ius and lowered my T to 50mg twice a week. At nadir my E went down to 29 (range <29). Large doses of HCG raises my E and past labs have shown a dramatic increase in progesterone. Daily injections are not too bad. Just do it in the morning before I start work.
