Hcg high doses and side effects

Hello, I'm sorry for my English. Someone here has or had experience with HCG only treatment in high doses (such as 1500 IU, 2000 IU up to 5000 IU two to three times a week for 2 months or more). Whether for treatment of infertility, hypogonadism, cryptorchia or something else ??


How were the side effects of this type of treatment ?? There was gynecomastia, testicular atrophy, hormonal imbalance etc ?? Any vascular or cardiac problems ??


How did you deal with these problems ?? Used serms, AI's during or after treatment ?? How did you recover the testicles and the hormonal axis??

I am about to make use of HCG high doses and i am worried about these harmful effects.
 
Hi Rus, I've taken 1500iu /wk but I am on T cyp also. HCG is know to raise your E2 that is something to keep tabs on.
Also a while back people were using extremely high doses to kill their appetite to lose weight. It was called the HCG diet google it.

Sorry that is all i know. Hope you can find some help.
 
Thank you very much for responding, FeelingLost. From what I researched, I saw that E2 rises because of HCG. Should it be made use of some serm or AI to protect against gynecomastia or do not let E2 get too high? Have you felt any side effects in this regard?


Yes, I've heard of this hcg diet but never knew the dosage. I thought it was lower dosages.

I take an AI to keep my E2 in check. .375/wk so I have never experienced high E2 from HCG I've only read about it.
The first prescription I got for HCG was 800/w two shots of 400 and I loved it. I had been on T mono so my balls were a mess.
I got a weak batch of HCG so the doc bumped my dose up to 900iu/wk 300 three times a week I really felt no different.

Do you have access to a super low dose AI like Anastrozole?
 
Interesting. I am in doubt of which dose to use of AI during this process of HCG very high doses. I have relatively easy access to AI's including Anastrozole.


Another thing that worries me is that usually the HCG is used to recover the testicles. And it seems that taking high doses of HCG can make the testicles desensitized. So how would you recover your testicles without HCG? Maybe with serms?
 
So no one else knows how to deal with the deleterious effects during and after the use of HCG high doses? How to recover the hormonal axis, testicular atrophy, gynecomastia etc?

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.
