just got back from doc. They want me to take 1500 Iu per week of HCG. I inject 140 mg test cyp a week on Thursday. She wants me take HCG on Monday. I questioned her about the large dosage and she informed me that it wasn't "that much" and that that's why she wants me to take it on Monday so if I have side effects we will know that its the HCG not the test. I'm on my 7th week of TRT and just starting to feel better and don't want to *#@$ it up. They gave me a 6,000 Iu vile with the bacteriastatic water. Should I proceed, I realize I'm beating a dead horse hear, but just want to make right decision, thanks again guys
