Increasing HCG dose

[Rjay]

Im currently on 600iu hcg per/week dosed at 260iu E3D. I can definately tell hcg is working it has a positive effect on my mood (usually), it initially had a great response for libido, and I can tell the testicles are awake again. I do believe it caused my E2 to rise a bit and I will likely be starting an AI as soon as my bloodwork comes in and hopefully confirms the need but I would still like to increase the dose a bit as my testicles are still a bit smaller then Id like. Should I bump to 750iu/week once I get my labs?

I switched from the standard protocol of 250iu 2x a week to 200iu eod which has been working out great for me.

I don't know all of your surrounding symptoms but I increased mine because I was getting a small dull ache once in a while and some noticeable shrinkage.

sure you can increase your dose, but then you will need more bw to see exactly how the increase effects you. it will spike e2 depending on the person and iu injected...I was doing 350iu every 3.5 days and it gave me puffy nips. I dropped total dose and split it up more to 200iu monday/friday and 100iu wednesday. nips are normal again.

Hey brett what does your T schedule look like? Lifted seems like you respond really well to Hcg if 500iu is all it takes for you. 600iu is my starting point and it gets me about 75% of desired results, not sure if the extra 25% is worth the estro balancing

100mg test c per week (1/2 Monday am and 1/2 Thursday pm)
1/4 mg anastrozole tues and 1/4 mg Friday
HCG 200iu eod.

That seems to work good for me. I haven't had bloodworm since changing HCG 3 months ago. Been on TRT for 2 years. Every once in a while I would get a full ache in nuts and wife noticed some minor shrinkage so I increased on my own and no aches since and seem to be back normal size.

I have a bad pituitary and I am trying to sort out if that changes the dosage I should be taking,....I'm doing 250iu three times a week and I love it, but the days I don't take it I really do miss it.
I understand the half life is one day, in other words half of it is gone in one day, but I don't know if the other half is gone in one day, two days, or what......
From what I have googled, guys with bad pituitaries that don't get LH, it says you should take huge amounts of HCG!!!!
I can't figure out if I have to compensate for my bad pituitary, or if testosterone shots shut LH down for everyone, bad pituitary or not. Googling HCG gets me lots of pregnancy sites or dieting sites.
My last blood test on HCG only, my testosterone was 486. Since then I have added 100mg testosterone, plus DHEA and pregnenolone. So I will get my blood tested in about a month when my blue cross will cover it.
If I could get away with it I'd take 250iu of HCG every day!!
