Testosterone levels with HCG

I started HCG only a few days ago but I feel bad for about 6 hours after the injection. Don't know what is going on. Seems like high estrogen.

It is impossible to get high estrogen in 6 hours from anything except an injection of pure estrogen. The math/chemistry does notwork that way.

You need an anti-anxiety protocol.

Thanks. I never had anxiety even on low Ts. Btw I feel sensitivity in nipples the day I take HCG and then next day it's gone. My eyesight is another thing when I stopped TRT for a week my blurryness was gone but came back with HCG...
Don't be like that doctor that blames everything on anxiety :-).
My lbido and erection are not that good too....
 
Hmmm...the only way to know for sure would be to get a sensitive E2 test in the morning before injecting, take the HCG right after and then get another E2 test late in the afternoon. I know that is not likely to be practical unless you happen to live close to where you can get a blood draw. It could be good to have though as that way you would know for sure what is going on and you could show it to your Doc at Defy.

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.
