HCG Injections: Morning or night. Does it matter?

My Dr. didn't specify a time of day. I have injected morning, noon & night depending on when I have a few minutes to inject. I have not noticed any difference personally & we have a newborn as evidence that the HCG from Empower works :D
 
Some men can feel a little anxious when they use HCG and can possibly disrupt sleep...it's a rare event I believe but I've heard of it happening.

I like mornings to be honest, I like the fact that it's working all day while I am awake plus I inject daily so it's really easy. I just preload the night before and inject when I get my coffee.

Whatever works for you is fine.
 
I do notice when I take it at night I can wake up feeling "energized" a bit earlier than I want. Might be similar to what Gene described pertaining to some men getting anxiety. For me its more of a libido energy which is only good at 3am if you have a willing partner lol

Other than that I have taken at all times during the day and notice little difference other than a sometimes libido boost which hits within 8-12 hours.
 
I just went to an am injection before I started my day, typically I preload syringes. In between breakfast, coffee or shower it is now part of a regular routine.

One of the first effects I noticed when starting HRT was how great my sleeping patterns were, a full nights sleep, waking up refereshed and energized. FOr the last 3 weeks I have been waking up at least 2 hours early, like 4:30, 5 am, wide awakw, ready to take on the day. Not the " libido energy " JBruce references. Strangely enough I am ok with waking up so early because I feel great!

Just not sure if this is a passing thing or by product of the HCG and if I will settle into my old pattern or create a new one. The good thing is Im off sleeping pills, but in general no complaints .

Bruin, by preloading syringes do you mean you leave the HCG in the syringes for several days before injecting ?

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.
