Really pissed off.

Ampules that have the dry powder in them, or pre-mixed? I have had ampules of the powder; I just break off the top at the line (they have a line on the ampule where you break the top part off to open it) and then mix with bateriostatic water as usual.

Also, and this may or not make you feel better, but HCG works great for some guys and does absolutely nothing for other guys like myself. In other words, having HCG is not necessarily going to make your TRT experience better than it would be without it.
 
That part at least is normal. One always mixes all of the powder HCG with bateriostatic water at once, and then you store the mixed HCG in the fridge. If you have a bottle, of course. It is definitely easier when you get the powder in a standard bottle that you add water too and store in that same container.

^^^^ Disagree with that statement. '

HCG as an LH analog plays many roles in mans body other they just "feeling" it or keeping your testes alive when HPTA suppressed.

One cannot think the a self induced organ shut down is healthy nor normal.

HCG is a peptide that acts identically like LH and in the absence of LH, HCG is the proper replacement for optimal health.

Learn how LH (or HCG) is critical for the conversion of cholesteriol into pregnenolone. HCG activates the P455SC cleavage that make this happen. What happens when there is not enough LH to make this happen?

All three metabolic pathways suffer is what happens.
 
many men report a "feeling" when using HCG and I think that's the thing ERO is referencing. I'm one that doesn't like HCG, obviously my nuts are alive and I believe that there's no reason to have an induced organ failure there. Then the Chol-Preg (and other hormone) production there but I'm not a fan of it and actually I only use 100iu 2x a week. I do much better with managing my E2 this way.

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.
