    Experience with prop and HCG for trt?

    I'm going to be switching my trt to test prop and HCG . Here's the schedule I'm thinking about. Let me know what you think.

    65mg test prop-eod
    200iu HCG-eod
    .125mg adex-eod

    Now I'm thinking about taking the prop in the morning, say I take it Monday morning. Then, since prop peaks about 24 hours after injection, it would be smart in thinking the prop would carry me through Tuesday. Then, Tuesday night I would inject the HCG, which should carry me through Wednesday--as I'd inject the prop Wednesday morning which would then take affect Thursday. This would be dosing the adex the morning of the day I take HCG. Would this be correct thinking?

    I've been on that train and have already rode it. Can you comment if the peaks for the test and HCG are suitable for that schedule?

    If you're switching from E or C to P did you factor in the ester weight and added test with prop? 65mg x 3.5 = 227.5mg test with an ester weight of 17% compared to C or E's 30%. My point is you may be upping your dosage quite a bit. Consider titrating down and matching what your dosage was with C or E.

    HCG has a half life as does P. No need to over think peaks if consistent.

    Re adex. It's small injections which result in smaller spikes of E. You may not need an EOD AI.

    Thank you, that was a very helpful reply. I actually did not factor in that ester weight, etc. I was planning to hit 200mg of test a week, so I'll probably scale down to 60mg injections. Also, I'm on my own trt, done with docs completely. I'm now finally on a nice protocol that gives me good libido, but erections still not where I want them. My dose is so high because my SHBG is high due to T3. I seem to convert to estradiol more so than others, too.

    I may actually just inject Prop and HCG at night before bed, on eod schedules. That way it's always a shot at night, not one in morning then another the next day at night. Keeps things more simple.

    Could you also let me know exactly what the half life of HCG is? As in when it kicks in and reaches a peak...based off experience or a study. The same with prop would also be appreciated.
