Have been using 250iu of Hcg eod per defy for months now. This helped the boys stay decent in size. They are now shrinking again , and pulling up ,libido still good.
Any ideas?
Do I need a higher Hcg dose? This seemed to be the case when I did a restart once, I needed a higher than normal dose.

No other issues and labs should be back any day now. Thanks

Has Defy been using the same pharmacy the entire time? They changed the pharmacy on my last order and I don't feel that my results have been as good as before.
 
Anecdotal only, but HCG for me only ever brought my testes to perhaps 75% of their pre-TRT size no matter what dosage or what pharmacy I use. Everybody is different but perhaps the effect varies more than I had expected person to person.
 
No but I actually did ask to use a different pharmacy just in case the batch was an issue but won't start that bottle for a while. It was Hallandale but I asked for empower just in case.
 
I've been using Hallandale HCG for 3 months now and my testicles are as plump as they ever were before I ever started TRT a few years ago. This is my first time to use HCG. They had shrunk these last few years.

Good to hear.
Since I got my HCG from Hallandale, I have felt that my results haven't been as good, but there are so many other variables that I can't place the blame on them.

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.
