Yes I second that.Yes 2x250iu is a good place to start.
Most guys (majority of the bell curve) will require between 500-1000iu per week cumulatively to prevent or reverse atrophy. 250iu BIW on the lower end of that range, but within the range nonetheless. Can work your way up if that dosage proves inadequate.
Try it. I doubt it will work. But your testicles will tell you. I am assuming you are on TRTHello everyone.
In trt, which dosage of hcg, on average, could it be sufficient to maintain only testicular trophism (not fertility)?
2x250ui per week could be enough as an initial base to try?
Thanks
of course i am on subq trt;Try it. I doubt it will work. But your testicles will tell you. I am assuming you are on TRT
I take 200iu 2x a week of HCG (pregnyl ) for test atrophy and they are ok. It works . Any higher of a HCG dose for me causes side effects .Try it. I doubt it will work. But your testicles will tell you. I am assuming you are on TRT
Wow really.. I know it's such a silly thing , but I miss my larger testicles lol . I do . There totaly back and no longer atrophied but they came back only 1/2 the size they were...of course i am on subq trt;
i made 500 2 x week for 6 months it worked maybe too much: my tesicles was bigger then when i was young and sometime i felt also the wheigh of the walking. So i thought try a lower dose, as 300 or 250 2 x week.
