Interesting results with HCG dosage/Frequency

[cigpk]

I just wanted to point out the differences I saw in my T levels with different hcg protocols.

Test-C 40 mg 2x a week and hcg 500 iu 2x a week:
Total t>1100
Free T- 20
E2 - 34

Test-C 40 mg 2x a week and hcg 360 iu 3x a week:
Total t - 783
Free t - 15
E2 - 24

It would appear 360 iu 3x a week isn’t very effective for me. I have smaller testicles on this dosage but do have less e2 spikes.

I’m thinking about going back to 500 iu 2x a week or 400 iu 3x a week

Both seem theraputic, which dosing causes you to feel better . Don't change it just because 1100 sounds better. Think about how you really feel on each one. Chasing numbers or the more must be better approach might only cause you to have more and more issues.

Yeah I agree. I think my biggest concern is that the hcg is not effective at the lower dose for my main reason I’m taking it (maintain fertility) since it’s not appearing to be effective with my numbers

I'm not concerned about fertility, but if I was I wouldn't rely on T numbers. I would think you should be getting your swimmers counted if you really want to be sure.

True. When I was on 500 iu hcg twice a week with my testosterone my semen analysis was great.
