HCG Question

Okay fellas, I am still learning as I go so bare with me. A couple weeks ago I made a thread about some of my symptoms while on my protocol, most of the answers/advice I got was maybe my dosing was too high (T). After thinking about it and learning more and more about dosing measurements I also think I might be over doing in, I am waiting for a call back from my Dr. about making an appt hopefully next week.

I am going to suggest cutting my whole protocol in half.
At the moment I am taking 2 150mg injections a week of cypionate(300mg total), 500 units of hcg also twice a week (1000units) and anastrozole also twice a week.

I have a question about my HCG and for those also taking it. Does your HCG have b-12 mixed into it? Is this ingredient a must? Mine is bottle says "HCG Fortified (B12A-500mcg/ml). I am thinking the b-12 has to be contributing to my symptoms. The more I learn I think I am on too much T but b-12 in the mix can't help it any. Can you get HCG only without b-12? Or does it have to be mixed in with it?

I remember years ago I tried b-12 capsules to help with my energy and hated the way I felt on them, I also had an incident about a year ago. I posted a thread on here about a year ago when I got my first injection of T and HCG with b-12 and I had 2 horrible panic attacks that night. I freaked out enough to stop taking any T till months later, well that and the fact that Dr. wanted me to go in every time to get an injection because she doesn't allow self injecting.

So again, if you are taking HCG does it have to contain b-12 or can you get a bottle of only HCG because if you can that is also something I am going to tell the Dr. to change. I'm not a fan at all of b-12.
 
I don't use HCG with B12, and I believe most don't. I don't know why B12 would cause you problems, but it doesn't need to be added.
 
The best HCG is the kind that a compounding pharmacy send in powder form and that you reconstitute yourself with antibacterial water. That is what 99% of the guys on this forum use. The pre-mix, with or without B-12 is always an unknown - how long has it been mixed before it was shipped to you? what else is in it, etc.
 
300 does not seem to be a TRT dose. Why so high ? What are your levels?

i take HCG. No b12. Cannot imagine why b12 would be necessary
 
I don't use HCG with B12, and I believe most don't. I don't know why B12 would cause you problems, but it doesn't need to be added.

What made me ask this question was watching Nelson's protocol video and I noticed his just said HCG on the bottle. Great news because I am going to ask him to give me only HCG.

I suffer from General Anxiety Disorder/Health Anxiety so my body is super sensitive to stimulants. B-12 causes my body to react to it quicker and stronger. I get anxious and panicky as well as the added energy. Same with alcohol or any other mood stimulants.

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.
