The action of hCG is pretty complicated. Each dose can affect how the next dose behaves. Frequency and size are also important. Combine that with testosterone variations and measurement errors and a lot is possible. Any single test result should be viewed as provisional.
I also did a sperm panel and the results are basically the same as 3 months prior.
Going to see the doc next week but these numbers are pretty close to my baseline so not sure if it is worth continuing down this road The first month was amazing and then things sort of leveled out.
@Cataceous those are nice studies you provided, I read them over and discussed with the doctor. He seemed very open to trying out different protocols but says that it is probably best if we stop the route for now.

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.
