hCG Protocol and Switching to 2X Week Test Cyp

[ZenFitness]

I created a post somewhat on this topic a few days ago, but I realize now that I've starting injecting 250 iUs of hCG daily (as per my doctor). I thought it was less, but I was turned around on the reconstitution so now I have this straight: 10,000 iU of hCG with 10 mL of water = 1000 iU/mL so 0.25 mL is 250 iU. Got it now... I'm pretty dense

Since I'm aiming to match the typical protocols advocated on this site, my plan is to dial this back to a MWF 250 iU regimen instead of 250 iU every day. I'm looking to keep my E2 levels as low as possible, so reducing this to MWF should hopefully help (of course I'll know on my next blood work). My doctor is fine with this.

So here is my first question - does anyone know how long it takes to notice an effect from introducing hCG? I think I've gained a little bit of size in my testicles as they don't creep up on my so much, but I'm still high and tight. Should this take a month or so to gain full effect?

Second question - I'm looking to switch to 2X a week of testosterone injections instead of 1X a week. I currently do 100 mg every Friday, so I plan to switch to 50 mg on Tuesday AM and 50 mg on Friday PM. Since today is Wednesday and I shot 100 mg last Friday, do I shoot 100 mg this Friday and then start 50 mg on Tuesday or just jump in to 50 mg on Friday? This may be an asinine point, but I'm curious what other people have done when they made the switch.

Thanks as always for the help.

I'm particularly interested in my second question above.

1. Ive noticed a marked difference in the first wk.

2. Begin 50mg Fri and then an other 50mg 3.5 days later and stay this course - you will be fine. In fact, frequent doses of test are recommend here and by the top TRT docs.

Also as an aside GD has written and fantastic article supporting smaller and more frequent doses. Sadly i dont have the link handy and am pressed for time, but please do a quick search for it. Its well worth the read.

Good luck.

Thanks! Yes, since posting my original post I've noticed my libido has noticeably increased today. I couldn't concentrate at work for a couple of hours... been a few years since I've been that amped. My irritability level is also higher than usual.

Since I just started hCG this week on Monday, I've run 250 iUs each day (Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu) and I'm planning on doing 250 iU tomorrow. I will also switch to 50 mg test cyp tomorrow and hold off on more hCG until Monday. At that point I'll switch to MWF 250 iUs hCG and 50 mg test cyp Tue and 50 mg test cyp Fri.

My thought on running the hCG for five days the first week is to a. get my body used to it and b. help bridge the gap during the switch to 50 mg test cyp. FWIW my doc wants me to do 250 iUs hCG every day through the whole course of the prescription which I think is overkill.
