[QUOTE="Cataceous, post: 199671, member: 38109"] The main issue you'll have is in matching causes and effects if you change two things at the same time, e.g. lower the dose and add hCG. If that's not a big deterrent then I would start with 250 IU of hCG a couple times a week—low and slow is the idea. If you get good results with a low dose then no need to go higher. Up to 800-1,000 IU per week in divided doses is common. There's the occasional guy who uses 1,500 IU per week, though that's getting to be a lot to use with TRT. Hormone levels may stabilize in a month or so, but it can take considerably longer for your body to adapt to the new levels. It's after this adaptation that you can fairly evaluate a protocol. Your previous lab results show an aromatization rate (E2/T) of about 0.5%. This is pretty normal. What you'll look for when using hCG is if this rate seems to increase. That is, if your estradiol ends up higher than 0.5% of testosterone then hCG may be to blame for the excess. If you don't have any troublesome symptoms then a little elevation in estradiol is probably harmless. [/QUOTE]
