HCG (Human chorionic gonadotropin)...is it necessary ?

[Couchlockd]

Any brand of pregnenalone will do. I would consider adding in DHEA too. Even though you may not 'feel' anything, these both are important upstream hormones that are important to supplement if you do not use HCG.

Know you do not need to shoot yourself with harpoons for TRT. That's very old school. There have been numerous peer-reviewed publications that show subcutaneous is no different than IM for absorption kinetics and is much easier and much less painful because you can go way down on the needle size if you drop the volume and inject more frequently. It's the same weekly volume, but in smaller bite-sized chuncks. I inject 0.2 to 0.25 mL into my quadriceps muscle using a short 1/2 inch 28G insulin syringe. It takes a little longer (! 1 minute) to draw up, but it is worth it for the painless injection.

I read about a protocol from "chest sculpting". com;
2 pumps of pregnenolone cream daily
100 mg progestin
50 mg dhea eod
and D-Aa daily.

I'm very sceptical
