Testosterone really kicking in

It has been just under 3 months since I started my test/hcg regimen (60mg test cyp 2x/wk, 750IU hcg 3x/wk) and I just have to say that things are finally picking up for me.

I don't have the crippling sluggishness that made me drag a$$ in the morning and/or want to nap in the middle of the day.

... and I'm not half as miserable as I was this time last year.

Are you being treated at Defy? Can you please tell me if the doctor gave you a reason for 60mg test cyp) twice a week instead of once a week?
 
I'm in the same boat as the OP. My protocol through Defy is 60mg test Cyp 2x per week and 100iu HCG daily. I am just wrapping up week 6 on this protocol and will be getting by blood work done tomorrow morning (injection days are Sun and Wed). After just 6 weeks, I am also feeling fantastic. I am also interested in seeing my BW.

Seems like a large weekly dose of HCG, though? So you are taking 750iu 3x per week for a total of 2250iu weekly? Is that much necessary?

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.
