[QUOTE="Jeeves, post: 184118, member: 41104"] Hello all, I'm a 42 year old male who has recently started HCG monotherapy. I have been reading many of the posts about HCG usage on this forum and decided I would join to share my experience going forward and to ask some questions as I'm sure I will have more over time. A bit about my history - I am a healthy person and I'm in good shape. I workout 5 times a week and have a very active lifestyle. That being said, for the past year I have struggled a lot with low energy and low libido. Got labs done and Dr. said my testosterone was way lower than it should be for my age. He first prescribed me Androgel for trt and it was totally ineffective. Didn't boost my T levels at all. Then we tried testosterone injections and they were very effective. Boosted my T to higher than normal range, felt great, especially energy levels were better. Problem was there were side effects. Body acne was a big problem and estrogen levels got high. Dr. said to take an antibiotic and an anti-estrogen but I really didn't want to take all of those different medications as I was worried about long term complications. So I stopped trt....low energy/libido came roaring back. So I've decided to try HCG monotherapy. My LH levels were low normal so my low T appears to be secondary which I think makes me a good candidate. I've been prescribed 1500UI three times a week. I'm 2.5 weeks in and I feel amazing...especially in the libido department. Energy has also been somewhat better. Below are my labs right before starting the HCG. Dr. wants me to get labs redone after three weeks so next week I will get them done again.
