    How much does HCG increase testosterone levels?

    I begin supplementing my HRT protocol with HCG in a few days. I am curious how much of an increase HCG alone causes on testosterone ? I figure it varies for individuals and I will find out by lab tests ultimately but wanted to see if anyone has any personal experiences or input on this. For background, I'm fairly young (28) and my testes should respond to an LH analog just fine. I'm sure it's dose dependent also, for my situation I'm starting off with 250iu twice per week (along with test cyp and adex).

    Thanks guys.

    So many variables to answer that question.

    First, anyone diagnosed at Primary Hypogonadal HCG won't do anything for testicular function but it does have some nice neuro effects.

    Then comes whether or not its age related or pathology related.

    Then comes how advanced either condition is.

    Finally all men are different and natural test production will be a function as to how they respond to HCG and how many active leydig cells they have.

    There's more...

    Only blood work would tell you on an individual basis.

    I get irritable just for the day that I do HCG . especially the first shot of the week.

    Anyone else have that sympton?

    Also, is 250iu/2x a week enough or should I do 3 times a week?

    ^ I do not get irritable.

    250iu/2x seems to be the norm, but I really don't know enuf to comment on it.
