HI Guys:

Want to know if you guys cycle off of HCG or are you on full time??? It seems by your posts and responses that you appear to be on all of the time. I an currently prescribed to inject 2x a week, 500iu. What is your opinion on this????

Thx,

From what I understand you don't want to cycle hcg. Other than keeping testes full it has many other benefits. I would stick with what you were prescribed. I'm sure others will chime in. I inject 170iu twice per week with T injections.
 
Thanks for the feedback. I forgot to mention that my protocol is for two months on and then off for one then back on, so on and so forth.
 
Coastwatcher, That is what I have been prescribed by the clinic that I am receiving my TRT from. Innovative men's clinic in Seattle, WA.
 
None. I need to ask more questions now that I have more knowledge from this website. I think that I might split my T injections to twice a week as well.

Splitting your dose is a good idea. It's probably fair to say most members here are on a split-dose protocol. Cycling HCG makes no sense, and taking that heavy a dose of Anastrozole is asking for trouble. Frankly, you are not being well served by your medical team.
 
It used to be thought that HCG would loose effectiveness unless cycled - that is not the case, but the old thinking persists. That and your dose of Anastrozol is extremely high. Many of us here do not use any AI and feel better because of it.

I am speculating, but I bet that clinic is very expensive as well.

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.
