HCG Help

[nEEdsHelP]

I am a 35. Back in March I had my blood tested two different times and my testosterone levels were 174 and 204. The doctor prescribed clomid 25mg 5 days a week. After being on this treatment this got my levels up in the 600 range. Early July I started seeing floaters and was concerned about my vision and called my doctor who wasnt too worried. I decided to get a new doctor.

Current (new) doctor prescribed 2000 IU twice a week of HCG and I have been on this 2 weeks now. However week two I had weird tension headaches and nausea (not sure if they are related though). I am thinking of spreading out and backing off the dosage.

From my reading it seems that the dosage of HCG is on the high end for TRT and was curious of others opinions. Also has anyone actually had side effects from HCG mono-therapy?

sure appreciate any input.

2000iu is on the high-side for TRT, but not uncommon in HCG Monotherapy...two different things.

You may do well at 165 IU EOD or require up to 500 a day. Current anecdotal reports and recommendations by respected physicians who routinely treat hypoganadism with a protocol employing hCG frequently mention 500 IU as an upper daily limit. You'll want to establish the lowest dose that works for you.

The testosterone produced by your body in response to hCG has a very short half life measured in minutes. I would strongly consider ED, EOD. E3rd day pushes the envelope for hCG mono.

Smaller more frequent dosing via insulin pin sub-q is far better at giving the leydigs the constant low level stim they need to replace the natural pulses of LH which absent in hypogandic men. Only then can a serum T be maintained at a high enough level to be theraputically useful.

You may feel great for 6 to 12 months, possibly longer on hCG mono. Regular testing via the sensitive test for estradiol is essential. You may experience a change in other hormones. Hematocrit needs to be monitored. It may rise past 50 then come down on it's own as therapy continues.

More likely than not you will eventually be looking at TRT + hCG down the road. You could use the hCG mono as a stepping stone toward giving natural T boosting a final try. Look in to supplementation, eliminating environmental factors which compromise natural T, exercise and other methods frequently mentioned on these pages.

Thank you for the replies. My new doctor did give me the option to go to Testosterone or HCG, but premised that it would only work for so long until I would need test.

I wonder why he suggested on 2x a week dosing verses a smaller dose daily?
