SWALE? HCG at 250 IU x2 or HCG at 500IU x1

[spitastone]

I have not started HRT yet. I am still debating Androgel vs Shots.

I am hoping to add HCG but would like to avoid going to to MD more than once a week.

Would 500IU of HCG once a week be better/worse/the same as 250IU of HCG twice a week?

It seems like T shots are better for most. Why is this the case?

On a side note. To maintain a healthy body-fat ratio I have to eat no more than 1800 cals per day. I am 42. I am very active and lift weights 6 times a week. I eat healthy foods only.

I am wondering if normalizing my T levels will help my metabolism so I can gain muscle instead of fat. I have had my E2 and thyroid checked and things are in the "normal range".

SWALE - Have you considered checking out T-Nation? They have a good forum and the guys and gals seem friendly and cool there.

Thanks!

SWALE is not here anymore. You can E-Mail him but I think I can help you here. You should try the gels first the best on is Testim but has a smell some men don't like. My friends like the small and ask where I buy it. Start at 5 grams and in 2 weeks get a blood test checking every thing in Dr. John TRT: A Recipe for Success. You can read this at his site allthingsmale it is at the bottom. Also his Update on HCG. Do the gels until you have leveled off say 2 to 3 months getting tested every 4 weeks. Then add HCG 250 IU's every 3rd day. Now if for some reason the gel dose not get your levels up in the upper 1/3 of your labs range for both Total and Free T then do the shots. Start at 100 mgs. every week and after you level off in the upper 1/3 of the labs range add the HCG do the 250 IU shot on the 5th and 6th day after your shot of T.

hCG can be injected subcutaneously with a very small insulin syringe. Very easy to do...not reason to go to the doctor to get this injection when you can do it yourself just like a diabetic injections insulin.

Swale´s protocol consists of testosterone and 250 cg twice a week prior to the next testosterone shot.

If you are thinking to use hcg alone, I think, and some of the bros could elaborate some more on this, you´d need to raise the dose more than 500 but no more than 750 a week.
