HCG, libido, arimidex and TRT

SafeStrength

New Member
I recently just got prescribed HCG to help get my libido back to normal.

I'm prescribed 1ml (1,000iu) IM every 4 days for 4 weeks then stop and redo it again after a week. it's a different approach from all the studies and posts ive read, but it's working so far.

my libido was AMAZING before TRT and while on TRT, it was a tragic downfall once nandrolone was introduced.

any suggestions on a maintenance dose of HCG while on TRT? and should I ever Cycle off the HCG??

My only concern is that that's a hefty shot of HCG, 1000iu is likely to aggravate your Estrogen which is likely where everything circles around, even on your "cycle" with Nandrolone. If it's so bad that you're using what we would call a severe overdose of Arimidex @ 1mg 3x a week already.
For instance most of us use no more than 500iu, most using 250iu twice per week. When we use an AI, it's usually no more than .25mg, per week.

I can see why you don't feel too good.

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.
