Hey guys, Looking for some input.I'm currently taking 500 IU HCG M/W/F. 1500 IU per week.

Soon ill be switching to TRT. I plan on doing 60mg every 3.5 days. Does it matter when i do my first injection in regards to stopping the HCG?

I plan on doing TRT only for the first 6-8 weeks and see where my E2 is before i incorporate HCG again along with TRT.
 
No it doesn't matter when you start injecting testosterone after you stop HCG. It wasn't a very high amount of HCT, so just start trt.

That dose would not work at all as monotherapy. The lowest monotherapy dose is 1,500 IU three times per week (most men need more). That can get expensive compared to lower dose HCG plus TRT.

I didn't think so either. However, this is the protocol Defy suggested. I am 25, do not care about fertility and i insisted on TRT. Unfortunately they wouldn't budge. I have to find another doctor to get treatment. Was very disappointed after hearing great things about them.

My T levels were 290 ngdl
9 free T
and 8.5 E2.

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.
