[QUOTE="Gene Devine, post: 8751, member: 4"] For starters, many (not all) of the symptoms you described are related to your very suppressed estrogen levels. In fact, I'd ask your Doctor to come off the AI all together until the next blood work indicates elevated E2 and than a AI protocol can be started. Most men don't need an AI and with the amount you were taking and is what is giving you a lot of the neg sides. Now for HCG, I have never heard of the symptoms you describe being related to HCG. HCG is an LH analog and the body sees it just as if it were naturally produced LH so it's difficult to imagine your gyno (if you really have Gyno, which I don't think you do) and other related symptoms are associated with its use. That being said, HCG is known neurohormone and does act on the peripheral part of the brain and usually provides men with a better sense of well being and improved libido...almost opposite of your reaction. You may want to reduce your dosage to 100 iu per injection for 5 injections M-F and see if that has less impact. IMO, you need to stop the AI and allow your E2 to rebound as soon as possible as I think this is where your problems are. Gyno at your E2 levels is almost impossible and it takes a long long time for Gyno to even start-up so it just may be sensitive nipples due to your increased Testosterone serum levels, which is normal for many men, and will subside in time.
