For the longest time, I have been taking 250iu of HCG 2x a week for my TRT protocol. The clinic I went through wanted me to take X amount a week and then when the prescription came, it said something totally different (originally, it was 1000iu 2x a week).
So after researching some time ago, I concluded that 250iu 2x week was enough to keep testicle function up and running. After some time, I stopped feeling the increased mood and other benefits to HCG therapy. I also felt the testicle "fullness" go away after some time. Every vial of HCG I had was stored properly and used withing 5 weeks, so potency shouldn't be an issue.
A few months ago, I upped my HCG to 500iu 2x a week and BAM! Everything came back. The boys got bigger again and I was reaping the benefits of HCG therapy. Now, its like my body has built a tolerance up and I feel like I did after awhile on 250iu 2x a week.
So that's my question. Anyone else experience this? HCG dosing is getting confusing. For instance, I thought Dr. Crisler recommended no more than 250iu a dose (2x a week) some time ago. Now, I researched again and I came across him recommending frequent dosing of 100iu a day.
Since there is no direct way to test is HCG is working or not, what do you go by?
