Ready for HCG

[dano79]

I have a hypothetical question....

If someone has low testosterone (say 300) and starts taking shots. We can assume that the body will stop making its own. If someone goes on HCG, is it a given that the body would start producing the same amount of testosterone that it was able to do before? Is this the reason why HCG benefits everyone, not just secondary patients?

I'm going to the doctor next week, and I'm asking for HCG!

It is I think very unlikely that somebody would still be producing much testosterone after tuning up their testosterone with exogenous testosterone.

As I'm sure you know, most of us are big advocates of exogenous testosterone plus hCG for HRT.

After what happened to my levels after going on HCG I feel you will make more T then before TRT. I was 120 on my first test and my LH and FSH was right up there. So I am primary doing a 150 mg. shot of Depo T everyweek my levels were Total T 600 adding HCG my levels doubled. So my T shot is giving me 600 my testis are doing 120 where the hell did the rest of the T come from.

First post, although I've been lurking for a while. I recently started 1.5cc of Test Cip every week (2 shots so far). I'll have bloodwork done after my 4th shot. Next step would then hopefully be adding HCG to the program in line with Swale's write-up. My question is about the optimal HCG dosage. Swale suggests (if I remember correctly) 250 - 500 IU on day 5 and day 6 post shot. Do most HRT people on this board do 250 or 500, or something in between ?

Best to try 250 IU's first I started with 500 3 times a week and my E2 went nuts.

Agreed, start with 250...that's what I use.

As for your T Cyp, you said you're on 1.5cc/week. What's the strength of the T Cyp? 100mg/ml, 200mg/ml, etc?
