[QUOTE="johndoesmith, post: 58119, member: 13404"] If you take clomid, yes, if you take hCG, no. On 8/31/16 your LH was 15 while you were injecting hCG but NOT taking clomid, correct? Yes, I see an 1100 total testosterone level, but LH is 15. hCG binds to the same receptor that LH does, so with such a high level of LH, it stands to reason whether or not the hCG is actually doing any of the work, or if it's just your naturally produced LH doing most of the work. Either way, you are not sufficiently replacing your testosterone. Your body is screaming for more, as evidenced by the 15 LH level. It's higher than BEFORE you started hCG. The only way this is understandable is if you're on clomid on 8/31/16. That's why I wished you had LH and FSH tested on the most recent results. Yes. That's a high dose. Aromasin is a rather strong AI, and you're taking more AI than I think any other member on this board is. You're taking the right dose for you, but I do wonder if most of your aromatization is due to using hCG. As in, if you used TRT to get to the same levels, it may aromatize less, due to NOT taking such large doses of hCG. I'm referring to the aromasin. You'll use less hCG on TRT, as it's only purpose is to maintain the testes and possibly other hormones the testes make. You're correct that hCG and TRT increase E2, but hCG can sometimes cause MORE E2 to be produced than straight testosterone will. It's by what's called "intratesticular aromatization". That doesn't happen with TRT as much. [/QUOTE]
