    How much hCG should I be using during TRT?

    I realize that the dose may need some tweaking to get dialed in, but is there a standard starting dose for hCG in order to maintain fertility and prevent atrophy?

    I've read that the testes can become desensitized to hCG if the dose is too high, and also that it can raise E2.

    Would 250iu E2D be a good place to start?

    A very good question that is asked very often. The best answer is: What's best for you. 750iu/week is fine. You can also do a low dose daily. I do. Read the sticky on hCG on the top of he site. Very useful info.

    Dr. Crisler starts his guys off with multiple injections (usually 3 or 7) totaling 700IU per week.

    I inject daily, and started with 100IU per day (700IU per week).

    Currently, I'm injecting 120IU per day (840IU per week), and am happy with the results.

    what are the benefits you experienced between the 700iu vs 840iu doses?

    At 100IU daily (700IU per week), the boys plumped quite nicely but I didn't feel they were back 100%.

    At 120IU daily (840IU per week), I think they're darn close to where they should be.

    YMMV.

    Thanks for the replies everybody. I think I've got it sorted out. I expect there to be some tweaking by my doctor to get me dialed in, but at least now I've got some things to discuss with him.

    The sticky was very helpful, thanks!
