Finally going to try HCG, after being on 25mg of clomid two times a week for a year

Well, I have been on TRT for a year now, with the first 10 months on gel. I finally switched to injections 2 months ago. My doctor prescribed clomid from the beginning to deal with keeping the boys working. Many have told me that this combo is just not good. My libido has actually gotten way worse on it, from not real great to horrible. Someone on another forum said that clomid can cause this. I wish I had known this from the beginning. After talking with the clinic, they gave me a script for hcg, so I will start using this. I have a pretty good insurance plan, as I only have to -pay $40 for 10 weeks worth of test cyp. I am just hoping that the hcg is just as reasonable in cost! Hopefully I will eventually regain my libido, as it has been non existent for months.

Oh, my protocol is 200mg of test cyp once a week, and .5mg of arimidex a day after the shot.

Whats your protocol going to be? dosages etc?

 

[ezed413]

200mg Test Cyp once a week
.5mg of arimidex day after test cyp injection
250 IU's of HCG 2 days before test cyp injection

so just once a week?? split that into 125iu twice a week.. inject 3.5 days apart

Ok, this is a better way to dose HCG then.

Ok, say I inject the test cyp on Wednesday, inject 125 IU's of HCG on Monday, and Friday then.

ideally you want to do it.. 3.5 days out.. so for example. monday morning and thursday night

Can I do the sub-q method for hcg?

What is hCG costing you guys with insurance? Just wondering what I should expect.

200mg Test Cyp once a week
.5mg of arimidex day after test cyp injection
250 IU's of HCG 2 days before test cyp injection

Wouldn't it be a little better if he split the Test Cyp into two pins a week at 100mg each? And just do the HCG at 125ius on the same days as the Test? I feel like this would keep things more stable and stop his estrogen from spiking and prevent his testosterone from going lower toward the end of the week. This would keep your blood levels much more stable.

200mgs is a high dose, what are your numbers at this dosage?
why not 100mgs split twice per week without an ai, and 250ius hcg the day after injection.

And yes I've experienced losing libido and a lot of emotional sides with clomid on trt.
HCG is universes better!

Total T was 1100 ng/dl. Don't know what my E2 was as he didn't measure that. I'll split the test cyp up then. I did a 200mg shot last wednesday, so I will do the first 100mg shot when I get home. I do not yet have the hCG, will probably get this Friday.

I have usually been at around 15 for E2 the last two times measured. But I was doing 25mg of clomid twice a week when tested. I guy on another forum says you can't get a accurate test of E2 when you are doing clomid.

So you don't think I need to take any AI with the 100 mg dose of test cyp then. Ok, I will try this out.

I have been doing clomid for a long time now, and feel like sheet!

I guess if I don't do hCG, my nuts will shrivel up huh. They are not as full as they were before I started TR, but they did not shrink up too much, so I guess the clomid was responsible for that.
