8 times?!?! Lol. I remember on HCG mono my libido was through the roof, but my nipples itched so bad I would scratch them until they bleed. I never had prolactin tested, but I assume the nipple issues were due to prolactin or progesterone activation from the HCG. I don’t think it was due to E2, only because on TRT, I’ve never once had any nipple issues, and I’ve had my E2 much much higher on TRT than it was on HCG mono
Overall tho, in regards to HCG, and why it makes some people feel great and others horrible, there’s just so many factors to be able to tell what’s causing what. I know it can raise E2 and prolactin, and i know it can raise DHEA levels pretty drastically, and it can probably raise progesterone levels, so it’s just so hard to determine what mechanisms of HCG are causing what symptoms. Each symptom could even be due to different mechanisms. For example, mood issues on HCG could be due to one mechanism of HCG, and sexual issues might be due to a completely different mechanism. HCG is just a complicated compound. And whenever a compound is complicated and effects multiple hormone pathways, ur always gonna have a large disparity in regards to it working great for some, and making others feel horrible
