[QUOTE="Midwestdan, post: 251430, member: 15697"] Michael, I am no expert here but in the balancing act that is TRT- HCG can be awesome and also can bring sides that others have called out. Specifically- and correct me if I am wrong but in my experience, the HCG sides are bloating, inflammation and heart palpitations/ racing. Depends on dosage and sensitivity. This can freak you out if you have high red blood cell count because it can bump your blood pressure up due to the water retention. The combination of knowing your red count is 52-54, feeling bloated and a higher blood pressure AND then waking up at night with a racing heart- well that can be a little scary. Using less or cycle hcg may be helpful depending on your exact situation and how each of these compounds works on you. Reducing the shrinkage has psychological benefits and may be helpful to do sometimes. I am no expert and only have my specific experience. I try to keep in mind that the things that get you kicked off trt is usually High red count, high blood pressure or both. Again my experience only- others here are much more knowledgeable. I try to keep in mind that if your reds are high you can donate but it may reduce your ferritin- but it works. If your blood pressure is high you likely need to use a prescription which brings other sides or make serious dietary changes like what Stan Efferding suggests- low carb high protein.
