I tried out a TRT clinic in the U.S. and the Dr. prescribed me 2,000 IU of HCG, 3 times a week to increase testosterone. His rationale was that HCG increases test production but without the risk of infertility. After 1 month it raised my total test from 393 to 495. A mild improvement but I was also a little sick so that could be part of the reason why it wasn't higher.

2,000 IU seems high to me based on everything I've read elsewhere. Between that and my previous success with HGH (2 IU/day), I decided to discontinue treatment.

Question 1: does that HCG dose seem crazy high? I haven't seen pubmed studies using doses that high.

Question 2: I have a couple weeks of between when I run out of HCG and when I can travel abroad and get HGH. What do you think I should do:

- halve the HCG dose now so I have enough until I get HGH
- order some darkweb HCG to bridge the last 2 weeks
- order some test and use the HCG to bridge

My goals are just to be feel good / anti-aging / have a good libido. I'm 40ish and in decent shape but not a bodybuilder.
