    2x a week test and HCG timing

    Currently taking 100 mg twice a week of test, monday night, and friday morning. I usually don't work fridays so I can take my time doing it. And if I travel out of town it is usually on friday mornings and get back sunday night. so this works nicely.

    Doctor just prescribed 250 iu HCG twice a week, but said nothing about timing in relation to test shot. If I did them at the same time as test shot it would be the most convenient. But would it be better to do hcg one day before test shot, or day and a half before or just not worry about it?

    my 200 mg a week of test dosage might get changed after this week anyways, doctor didn't say anything about me doing 2x a week injections. so his recommended timing of hcg might be based on 1 shot a week i dunno.

    I am going out of town this weekend and staying with family, and don't really want to travel with my hcg, can I preload a syringe and keep it in a cooler? We have really bumpy roads around here too. And my wife wants to leave thursday after work, which I'm fighting her on but losing, so might want to preload a syringe of test as well or something I dunno.

    Anyone else doing test and hcg each twice weekly? How do you time it, others theories are welcome too.

    I am a big believer in smaller doses more frequently. Thus, at 500iu total a week I'd like to see 125iu 4 times a week say Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday...easy to remember and insulin pins are cheap.

    Go to a good drug store SEOINAGE and buy a insulin travel pack with a freeze pack in it as it will serve you well when you travel.

    Nice didn't think about that. Should work out well. And trying 125 per injection is a good idea that I might do, but you think the 250x2 timing really doesn't matter that much?

    Honestly I don't think it matters in the grand scheme of things.

    If you're going to inject Testosterone twice a week than you might want to take each hCG the day before.

    When I visited my wife's family I packed my hcg in ice wrapped it in a towel, and put that into a small portable cooler. If your traveling with either the hcg or test its not a bad idea to keep the refill slip with it to show its legit if you get pulled over for any reason. Btw I know your pain about the wife wanting to leave right after work. We have that argument almost every trip! And yeah I usually lose...

    Im am in the process of proving that correct GD, I have been trying to make the best use of 250iu2x week. Using the nutometer, and switching between day after, day of, I think day before will be best. Need another week to confirm.

    do you notice effects of HCG right away? or does it take a few doses to notice you are taking something? I want to see my blood work I had drawn last week. Seriously curious where my levels are at, would think I would be extremely horny on my dosage. Maybe my body reacts differently to things, I know with a small dose of thyroid meds I reacted poorly and things got worse. And any other substance I have taken in the past has little effect on me, one of the reasons I never took pain meds.

    What are you looking for in your BW to warrant hCG SEOINAGE?

    Everyone is different so each man will react to hCG differently but a general sense of well being to almost feeling euphoric is not uncommon...probably due to a dopamine rush. Libido is initially effected as well...trust me on that.

    But like everything else in TRT your body will adjust and you will feel good but normal again over time.

    As many of you know, I love hCG for men on TRT protocols.

    doing HCG regardless of what blood work says, need to see where my test levels are being on 200 mg a week. I did my first shot of hcg haven't noticed anything yet, I figured I would right away. Hope my test levels aren't still low, because then I would need to take more, and 200 mg is already pretty high. Haven't tested estrogen yet on 200 mg, doc will do it soon if we don't adjust my amount, but if we adjust she wants to check estro after. I don't notice anything that points to high estrogen at this time, so not too worried about waiting a bit longer. My main concern is I haven't noticed a big libido improvement, libido isn't even close to what it was 5 years ago. Trying to shoot feeling something like I did then, although not exceeding how I felt at 20, because I wouldn't be able to handle that even though it was great back then.

    test levels were something like 1k for total, 250 free on a range of 50-150, so he dropped me down to 150 mg a week, but this was taken 2.5-3 days after injection. But I don't know if there is a ton of fluctuation given I am injecting 2 times a week. TSH was 3.3 I believe, don't have it in writing and going off memory. t4 was in the lower end of range, and t3 was sitting in the middle. Doctor was concerned my excess free test would be bad for my thyroid. So probably do more bloods in a month and see where I am at. I mean I feel decent, don't have the libido I was expecting, but other than my body hurting everywhere, it kind of makes me wonder if trt is right. Problem is I don't think I have given it enough time. On this current dose I don't have those days where I feel like trash and I can barely get through work, so mentally I think it is helping. But it really makes me second guess things when my libido isn't that much better, orgasms don't feel as good although I can maintain an erection for longer like I could several years back. Sure makes me wonder what my test levels were like at 20 and 25. Hopefully in time I will realize all the benefits of trt, if not after a year or so will try to restart and see how I feel.
