I am on TRT for a while, began doing 100mg Test E/wk + 1000iu HCG/wk, both IM same syringe m,w,f. Lift 6x per week and have a good diet. BF around 13-15%.
I don't have exact numbers now, but T, free T, E2, Prolactin all came way over reference range on this protocol. SHBG also mid-range.
At first I got HCG benefits like bigger balls, libido etc. But then I didn't like how I was feeling (bloated, oily, soft erections, low libido, weak pee stream, low ejaculate volume, very dull orgasm, retracted balls, smaller penis) so I did some reading, decided to drop my T dose to 60mg maintaining HCG the same. Waited for stabilization and then did bloods again. Took bloods wednesday before pinning.
Total T: 854 ng/dL
Free T 203,37 pg/mL
Estradiol: 46 pg/mL
Prolactine - 9,4 ng/mL
SHBG - 31,7 nmol/L
Hematocrit - 51,3%
DHT - no results yet
I got some symptoms resolution, but no so much. Maybe I hyper-respond to HCG, due to having secondary hypogonadism? Free T is still above ref-range, and E2 a bit. Should I decrease T, HCG, both? Has something similar happened to any of you?
