HCG concerns

**Black** · 04-22-2014, 05:33 PM

For the longest time, I have been taking 250iu of HCG 2x a week for my TRT protocol. The clinic I went through wanted me to take X amount a week and then when the prescription came, it said something totally different (originally, it was 1000iu 2x a week).

So after researching some time ago, I concluded that 250iu 2x week was enough to keep testicle function up and running. After some time, I stopped feeling the increased mood and other benefits to HCG therapy. I also felt the testicle "fullness" go away after some time. Every vial of HCG I had was stored properly and used withing 5 weeks, so potency shouldn't be an issue.

A few months ago, I upped my HCG to 500iu 2x a week and BAM! Everything came back. The boys got bigger again and I was reaping the benefits of HCG therapy. Now, its like my body has built a tolerance up and I feel like I did after awhile on 250iu 2x a week.

So that's my question. Anyone else experience this? HCG dosing is getting confusing. For instance, I thought Dr. Crisler recommended no more than 250iu a dose (2x a week) some time ago. Now, I researched again and I came across him recommending frequent dosing of 100iu a day.

Since there is no direct way to test is HCG is working or not, what do you go by?

Idk but my second dr upped mine to 500 twice a week, up from 250. Honestly didn't feel nothing different but my estrogen went up so I dropped it back to 250. Everyone's body responds different to different compounds. Maybe you will have to take higher dose.

It is funny I have been seeing more and more the "daily dosing" of hcg being mentioned on the boards. As far as the tolerance or desensitization I was under the impression that keeping doses low, like 250iu's 2x/week, prevented this from occurring. Ill try to dig a little more into this and see what I can find.

Ive always done 250 iu 3 times a week but thinking of changing to 100 iu every day. I already pin 4 times a day with peptides so its not like it would change much for me.

The estrogen with hcg is awful, you also have to take in your body fat percentage , lean and muscular should have an easier time right? I'm a bigger guy and my estrogen destroys every benefit of trt
