[QUOTE="madman, post: 113584, member: 13851"] You are only on 3rd week of your protocol and your body is still producing endogenous testosterone it can take between 2-6 weeks for shutdown of the hpga and depending on dose of testosterone injected weekly (higher doses cause quicker suppression of endogenous levels) and your are also injecting exogenous testosterone hence what you are experiencing regarding intense libido will level off eventually as you are experiencing what one would call the honeymoon period. I am thinking you have lower shbg due to the M/W/F injection protocol and 50mg (3 times weekly) may very well put your testosterone levels into the high-normal physiological range.....it will take 6 weeks for your blood levels to stabilize and once blood work is done you will see how 150mg/week (50mg 3 times/week) protocol effects your total t/free t and e2 among other critical health markers. I would just keep using the hcg until you have bloods done as you just started your protocol. I feel it is best to start trt without the use of hcg or an aromatase inhibitor (unless pre-trt blood work shows elevated e2 and one is experiencing high e2 symptoms).....this would allow one to truly see how said testosterone dose effects ones total t, free t and e2 levels! You stated "could an alternative be to ditch HCG, and discuss a testosterone dose INCREASE".....you are only 3 weeks in what is the reasoning for suggesting this? [/QUOTE]
