How long does it take for HCG to kick in, or am I being impatient?

[QUOTE="Cataceous, post: 271636, member: 38109"] It seems unlikely that you would experience a rapid return of LH production after pausing TRT. Another explanation for your feeling better is that your testosterone level drifted down through a range that is more natural and appropriate for you. While the full picture is unlikely to be this simple, it is true that excessive dosing of testosterone accounts for [URL='https://www.excelmale.com/forum/threads/answering-some-questions-new-to-forum-much-appreciated.26955/post-245316']a lot of misery[/URL]. Virtually all guys who develop hypogonadism did not need an aromatase inhibitor when they were eugonadal. So why should they need one if they simply start replacing the missing testosterone? It's mainly because most end up using more testosterone than they ever made naturally. Beyond that, hCG use complicates the situation, as it stimulates estradiol production, and hCG's long half-life means it's not possible to reproduce normal LH activity. For some perspective on your dosing, if you're taking 125 mg/week of Sustanon 250 then you are taking in twice as much testosterone as the average healthy young guy makes naturally. If I were you I would want to revert to the preferred low-and-slow approach. This means something like 60-80 mg/week Sustanon 250 in divided doses, and at most 500 IU/week hCG, also in divided doses. No AI. Unfortunately, reducing the dose can temporarily lead to a return of symptoms. But it is worth riding this out so that you can fairly evaluate how you feel with levels that are more physiological. [/QUOTE]
