Hcg prior to vacation absence

Going away for 8 days,(not a cruise) I currently take Hcg 3 x week. At 200iu per dose = 600iu/week. I decided taking a break while traveling might be good, but I have a question about the last dose. Thoughts? should I take a slightly higher dose, (then won't take another for 8 days) on the morning I am leaving?
I have taken 300iu at a time, but didn't feel any difference after a month, so dropped back to my prior level. i know the half life is fairly short, but is there a benefit to a slightly higher final dose?
 
Before I go on vacation, I take my normal amount of HCG. And when I start up again, I just continue my normal amount.

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.
