Motivation and Hcg

[HamburgerChef]

Quick question, do you feel any different if you stop Hcg?
I started testosterone about two or three years ago and added Hcg 500U 2x per week shortly after. For the second time in a year I have run out of Hcg awaiting my pharmacy order. After about 5-6 days without it, my motivation and energy crash hard. Can't get out of bed type of stuff, like before I started TRT. Has anyone else felt this effect?

I think it's possible that the HCG increases your testosterone and/or estrogen to the point where your symptoms are relieved, and without the HCG you drop down into a state where you have symptoms.

One way to test this would be to get a blood test (using e.g. discountedlabs.org) when you're off HCG to see where you're at.

HCG for some guys is like that, particulary can be if a guy is secondary hypo they may get a fair amount of Endo T production but being so profound as not being able to get out of bed is just silly.

I also inject 500 IU of HCG twice a week. I never had any issues when I needed to skip it for a week or two.

I read that the Hcg half-life is 24-36 hours. I am thinking about trying to split it up to 3 or 4 times per week and see if it further increases my energy levels. Might try the same with testosterone.

Half life is very dose dependent...Saya has written on this

What is the best dose of HCG? Dr Saya presents two case studies.

Defy is good about reducing your test dose if they start HCG...too many docs spike levels by just adding HCG on top...I find HCG to be more estrogenic subjectively
