HCG monotherapy - Need advice

[theheat]

I had thought about adding 200mg of DECA a week for 12 weeks, but I'll hold off until I get everything normalized. I'm also afraid that at my age it will cause even more issues with my libido unless I'm closely monitored.

I'm thinking of switching HRT doctors, as my current one doesn't allow my PCP to run blood tests, and I have to pay out of pocket since the HRT doctor is out of network. A friend of mine goes to another doctor that has your PCP run all the tests, and the consultation feel is lower than the $400hr that I'm paying now.

I was frustrated with the lack of results and the $3,000+ I've paid so far, and I felt like I could have achieved more on my own with a cycle + PCT. I'm going to decide what the best course of action is after I get the results of last Friday's BW.

Kelkel, what would you have recommended for a protocol based on my initial labs? 250-500 IUs of HCG 2x a week with no T? I'm sure you'll agree that 1,000 IUs twice a week was too much HCG. Do you think it was possible for me to achieve ideal T levels with HCG alone? I also thought .25mg of Arimidex 2x a week was reasonable, but there is no way of knowing without the follow up BW. I wish the HRT doctor would have run more BW 4 weeks into it just to see how I was responding and then made adjustments rather than waiting almost 3 months.

You definitely need to figure out what your future is and get stable first before adding any other compounds. Meaning trying to figure out the problem or simply accepting TRT. If the latter then your body needs time to find balance. It does not happen overnight with TRT. It can take a long while to dial in with multiple sets of BW to guide you.

Post them up here. Let us take a look.

Protocol as in cycle? If that's what you mean then instead of spelling it out I'd simply refer you to Austinites "How To Run A Successful First Cycle" thread in his educational articles database. I know it's not a first cycle but it seems your past ones were lacking a bit so I'd keep it simple if and when that time comes.

Some do respond well to HCG Mono. I'm not a fan of it as I think you lose some of the subjective benefits of testosterone this way.
