[QUOTE="Stringer, post: 38191, member: 13267"] Hi All, Been reading the forum for a little while, first time posting. I have had low normal testosterone levels for a few years, and have a lot of typical low testosterone symptoms (low sex drive, constant fatigue and mental fogginess, memory issues, depression/anxiety, trouble putting on weight/muscle). I got into a men's clinic, and they felt that many of my symptoms could be testosterone related, but they wanted to try a HCG-only treatment to see how I would respond, as they felt that the cause was more likely due to pituitary as opposed to testicle health (I'm 35). They told me that there is far less chance of any side effects, and that there is no risk of this treatment in terms of affecting long term natural testosterone production (if the treatment was stopped). I am about 3 weeks into taking the injections (.4ml or 400IU x3 a week), and haven't really noticed much improvement in symptoms yet. Has anyone tried this kind of treatment, and if so how effective was it? Was what I was told true about there being no risk at this dose? I read online somewhere that long term high HCG treatment can damage the leydig cells. My bloodwork numbers (Canadian units): Testosterone: 11.4 Range 8.4-28.8 nmol/L Testosterone Free: 202 Range 196-636 pmol/L Luteinizing Hormone: 2 Range 2-6 IU/L Prolactin: 5 Range 2-18 ug/L Estradiol: 90 Range <150 pmol/L DHEA-S: 10.3 Range <15.0 umol/L Thanks in advance [/QUOTE]
