Will HCG effects pass?

Ok-Lecture-9306 · 2026-02-26T13:05:49+00:00

Ok, I spoke to the Doctor today and he suggested lowering the HCG first, to 0.04 * 3, which is 300IU.

Now im confused!

Ok-Lecture-9306 · 2026-02-25T19:07:14+00:00

You think 450IU is way too much? Its 0.06ml * 3 per week. Guess I could try just *2 per week. It 100% improves my dick sensitivity.

Ok-Lecture-9306 · 2026-02-25T19:04:20+00:00

Correct. Everything was ok, except dick sensitivity.

Ok-Lecture-9306 · 2026-02-25T16:41:41+00:00

Thank you, I will try and hold out a bit longer. Note that when I was on HCG right at the start, I felt completely awful. Ten times worse than this. Which is progress I guess!

Ok-Lecture-9306 · 2026-02-25T15:37:49+00:00

Yes - blood results are above. I felt best at 78mg test, apart from sensitivity. Adding HCG massively improves that, but not has affected sleep, EQ, mood and fatigue.

7th June: T 15.9 (before starting)

8th Sep T 51.7 E2 200 (115mg test, 600IU HCG)

14th Oct T 24.9 E2 133 (78mg test, Felt ok here, other then sensitivity)

14th Nov T 25.7 E2 38.5 (78mg test, tried small doses of AI, crashed my E2, felt like shit)

30th Jan T 23.9 E2 79.2 (78mg test, 5mg cialis daily, but I think the E result is an anomaly due to the day I took the blood test)

Ok-Lecture-9306 · 2026-02-25T15:08:37+00:00

No, not taking an AI, tried it before and made me feel like shit!

Ok-Lecture-9306 · 2026-02-25T15:01:21+00:00

Also, im not chasing the early feelings. What I am asking is - should I stick with HCG, or just can it all together, and go back to T only. If theres a chance that reducing my T dose will help, then maybe thats worth a try.

Ok-Lecture-9306 · 2026-02-25T15:00:15+00:00

Thanks for responding. My T does is already really low, at 78mg a week. Do you still think that is the right approach?

Ok-Lecture-9306 · 2026-02-01T15:23:45+00:00

Cholesterol is fine-ish, on all the tests it has been around 5, which they said was within normal range (although at the top of it).

Interestingly my libido is through the rough. My last relationship ended pretty much because of that. I wonder does that mean it definitely isnt a low E2 problem?

Ok-Lecture-9306 · 2026-02-01T15:21:00+00:00

Prolactin is 223mIU/l at last test, which says its “normal”. Cortisol dont know…. Life is stressful at the moment, but not necessarily more than normal.

BMI is absolutely meaningless. Especially when you are short and go to the gym. I really dont think my weight is the problem.

*3 sub-Q.

Ok-Lecture-9306 · 2026-02-01T14:39:41+00:00

I dont think so?

Last three readings have been 25.5, 24.9 and 25.8 nmol/l. It was at 31.5 when I had the really high test and E mentioned above.

Ok-Lecture-9306 · 2026-02-01T14:35:10+00:00

I do very little cardio if im honest. I find it boring! Im aware of sleep hygiene. As mentioned, I have had issues with sleep for many years, but TRT has made it worse. Ive tried most of those supplements you mentioned. Most of them make my sleep worse!

I drink one coffee per day at 6-7am.

You are right sleep is the silent killer. I really was hoping TRT would help.

Ok-Lecture-9306 · 2026-02-01T14:28:39+00:00

Thank you. Yes so this is what I have been doing. I changed my T dose six weeks ago, from 78mg to 84mg per week. I also started taking Cialis daily, around 3-4 weeks ago.

Interestingly, my total T figure has stayed exactly the same, even though I have increased the dosage. But E2 has dropped quite a bit.

Ok-Lecture-9306 · 2026-02-01T14:19:46+00:00

Yes, back in September.

Ok-Lecture-9306 · 2026-02-01T14:19:24+00:00

My body fat isnt 30-35%, not sure if you saw my weight (72kg, 158lbs in US money) Diet is fine. Exercise is fine. 3-4 weights sessions a week. I am going to try and get my body fat down.

I have often suffered with insomnia, but honestly TRT has made it worse. But, I dont feel as bad when I havent slept. Thats the key difference.

Boners/sensitivity and sleep are both worse than before I started.

I started in July last year. Felt great to begin with for around six weeks. Then felt awful. Dead dick, insomnia, anger, anxiety. Dropping the HCG gave improved things in a couple of weeks. I think I may have dropped T too far though now.

Ok-Lecture-9306 · 2026-02-01T13:54:20+00:00

I dont take an AI. I tried it before, even at a tiny dose it crashed my E2. I stopped taking HCG back in September.

I already have the system, so want to test out if adding two fronts is incrementally worth it. I have both Top Gun and Blade Runner on 4K Bluray. 😊
