    Increasing HCG

    Currently on 80mg of Test C 2 x a week along with 250iu's of HCG on the same day.

    I was wondering if increasing HCG will increase Sex Drive?

    Thanks!!!

    have you had recent blood work? keeping estrogen in check will help libido. higher HCG might upp estrogen if its already up there. i would go by blood work AND how you feel IMO.

    if everything is pretty much norm then it might. but personally i would up test dose vs. hcg but just me.
    again, recent blood work?

    I agree. However, 250iu/week is a low dose of hCG. But it your satisfied with the results, keep to it. Just a F.Y.I., Dr. Jon Crisler advocates a minimum of 500iu/week.

    I personally don't think hCG dose correlates to libido. It's really the whole picture - T, E2 control, individual genetics. Remember DHT is the magic hormone that makes for sex drive and many other things so it's good to know through your blood work what's going on with that. Too much DHT can also make for hair loss and is directly related to prostate growth. Good to keep in mind.

    Blood work 10/6/15

    Testosterone , Serum 1095 ng/dL 348 - 1197 01
    Free Testosterone(Direct) 28.7 High pg/mL 8.7 - 25.1 02
    Estradiol, Sensitive 29.9 pg/mL 8.0 - 35.0

    I'm also on Arimidex .25 mg 2 x a week on shot days.

    Just curious if I could give a little bump to my Libido without going the Cialis route.

    Does DHT have to be tested separately or can you get a general idea based on above blood work?

    Thanks!!

    You will have to test DHT seperately but judging by your test levels your DHT is likely okay. How long have you been on TRT? There is nothing wrong with cialis and it wont necessarily boost your libido just bloodflow and erection quality. Cialis boosts my libido but only because it increases my confidence and its a lot easier to want sex when you are getting random boners all the time

    I've been on TRT since 2012. Finally got dialed in within the last year.

    I don't have too much trouble getting an erection and I still occasionally wake up with one. It's just my mood has been kind of Blah (Indifferent) for the last two weeks.

    I figured at least if my libido was increased my mood would increase too.

    We all learn here that we can't always find the "answers in a bottle" - as has been said. Libido is multifaceted. I've found that thought we're proud of influences libido greatly.
