[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 169453, member: 26136"] I just ran into this issue after Pregnyl was on backorder and my pharmacy gave me their compounded version. I was taking 600iu eod of the pregnyl with good results for monotherapy however when switching over the effects were noticeably bad after 3 doses. I had some leftover Pregnyl to hold me over and I talked to the pharmacy who decided to remake the script. Same thing happened. Both scripts tested positive on a pregnancy test so their HCG but either its a potency issue, or some other quirk with how the compounded version metabolizes. Doc ran labs and showed a drop in T however there was also a drop in SHBG that I thought was interesting. I decided to see if higher dosing helps and daily dosing also however it still never felt right. I also noticed testicular atrophy as well. Honestly I have no idea just how less potent the compounded version is so I would never know what dose would make it comparable. Of course this is my personal experience with my local compounding pharmacy so others may never have this issue. That being said I am now more aware of the pharmacies within an hour drive that carry Pregnyl in the event I have to deal with this again. [/QUOTE]
