Hcg side effect question

I started hcg injections yesterday. I messed up and put 5 mil in powder bottle and should have only done 2.5 mil doc said just double the dose for rest of bottle. So I did 125 iu and should have had 250iu. So today I doubled dose and did the 250 like I was supposed to. I've noticed I've got sinus pressure today. A Lil groggy feeling..is that normal? Thanks for the info this site is great.
 
That is not something that I have ever seen as an HCG side effect. Could it be allergies to outside pollen or grass or something?
 
When starting TRT, it isn't at all unusual to become hyper-sensitive to every organic/physiological change and wonder if it's somehow related to testosterone/hcg/estradiol...and so on. Not saying you're feelings aren't the result of hcg, but - like ERO - I've not heard of it.
 
Ya I wondered if it could be allergies. I've had sinus issues before but not in a few years...thanks guys I appreciate the help
 
I'm back...update on high side effects I thought I was having. Turns out it was just a sinus issue which has gone away..thanks all

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.
