[QUOTE="DragonBits, post: 154828, member: 18023"] Surprising that quitting HCG crashes your estradiol, If true, it's kind of like an addictive drug in that aspect. You do OK without it, but once you use it, it becomes very difficult to quit. I used HCG for ~6 weeks, when I quit my estradiol, free T, DHT all declined by ~50%, but my SHBG climbed from 41 > 73. In the past SHBG had been very stable. HOWEVER ... At the time I assumed this was from taking LEF's ultra prostate formula, as lowing DHT and E2 / raising SHBG would likely help with BPH / PSA levels. I also started Lycopene and stopped taking DHEA/Preg. With all those protocol changes, it's not possible for me to really determine what caused my E2 to decline or my PSA to drop back down. But the only hormone that was new to my body was HCG, and since it's no doubt more effective than any OTC supplements, I tend to think HCG had caused the rise in PSA, and there is medical research that indicated this can happen. In the past DHEA seems to have no other affect on me other than raising serum levels of DHEA. I am not aware of any research that indicates you will crash your estradiol when quitting HCG. But I am not inclined to experiment any further and I have settled on what works for me. [/QUOTE]
