Been W/O HCG for 2 weeks!

[Tnatious]

Don't want to go into too much detail...I have been without my HCG (500 Iu's M,W,F) for two weeks-but is finally on its way and should be here by Friday.
My first question:
When taking HCG away from ones TRT protocol (for more than lets say- 1 week), would it be advised to reduce your AI (Arimidex) as well? Prescribed .25mg M,W,F. I'm basing this off of the fact HCG is known to increase E2.
My second question:
What are the possible side effects of going without HCG for more than one week? And again, my protocol calls for HCG M,W,F 500 Iu's and Arimidex .25 M,W,F.

Thanks to anyone that has some info!
Have a good day everyone

HCG may or may not increase your E2, so you may or may not need to reduce your Arimidex. No way to tell unless you have labs showing with and without.

Short term sides you may notice is slightly lowered test levels and aching of the testes.

I would not worry about it if you feel fine as of now and your HCG is on it's way.

Thanks fellas all is good now:-) it came this afternoon while I was at work.
Real quick...don't you all love to come home and see a package on your front porch? I love it! It's like Xmas

I'll add that you really don't need 500 IU's x 3. 250 IU's should be just fine.

Hey KELKEL I looked over my paper work after you said that 250 iu would be just fine... And under the treatment suggestions both options are available (250 iu every other day | 500 iu every other day)...
Do u think I would be okay with doing that kind of dosage decline??? I'm on 200 mg of Test Cream daily and .25 Arimidex on MWF (but I have found that I feel just as good when I only take it Tuesday and Friday

250ius will give you the same benefits at 500ius minus possible desensitization and spikes in estrogen

Not for everyone. I use to take 250iu 3x a week and have since switched to 400iu 2x weekly. The boys are now 100% pre-TRT size, my loads are larger so increased sperm count and my E2 levels dropped, allowing me to use a lower dose of Arimidex.

Really?

Okay, well would it be better to simply inject half of the amount I normally inject (12.5iu's which would be extremely difficult on an insulin pin) OR add double the amount of dilutant (6ml vs 3mls) ?

Sigh, I guess my balls are useless because they still are shrunk even with hcg

why is it one or the other? why not drop down to 400 and see how that works? You should also add 10 ml bac water to make things easier.
