New Member - HCG Monotherapy Patient

For the benefit of those considering HCG monotherapy, here are my latest results (I had lowered the dose to 1000UI 3x a week after my last results). I'm feeling pretty good, but I don't really have the same energy/libido I had when using trt. I'm not sure why because my T levels are really high. Thoughts? Perhaps its because of the high estradiol but I'm not really sure. Doc recommended lowering the dose to 500UI 3x a week so I've done that and will post new results in three weeks.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
