HCG & Libido........................

[Alpin]

Just wanted to let you guys know. Being on HCG 500 i.u. EOD and ADEX 0.25 mg E4D libido was stable, and higher.
Even though TT was 384 ng/dl...(about 100 ng/dl increase from my off all meds T production).
I think there's other factors that come into play as well as T in libido. Maybe the increase in spermatogenesis created the urge to "release"....???

You might have increased your Free T. That seems to result in higher libido. Did you check that when you did your blood work?

They didn't put that in. Bio T was put in though....
results come back soon for it though. I'll be lucky to know if it was before the christmas break. Did the blood work last Monday.

Free and Bio-Avail are the same idea.

How old r u ?
Have you had a sleep study done ?
were you using an AI while on this protocol ?
I could say HCG gave me some cognitive energy and felt a bit better in the gym and recovery was good vs. off everything.
I was on 500 i.u. EOD though...
How many weeks into this protocol did u have these levels ?

I'm 23 I was on this dose for six weeks with no AI my e2 at the end of the six weeks was 42. Now I'm running 500iu EOD and 50mg of clomid EOD as well for six weeks. If this doesn't work I think my doc is going to put me on trt

Run one or the other bro...
Run the HCG first then bridge with clomid....
HCG is analog signal for LH, Clomid raises natural LH....
totally different mechanism the two of them.

Will do my man but I'm already 4 weeks in. But its looking like trt is my only option at this point still having lowt symptoms

 

[Alpin]

restart protocols usually use HCG at first to get Testicles revved up....then clomid begins once you have gotten the TT elevated.

Well I ran hcg by itself first 500iu e3d my total t went from 419 to 540 and free t 11.9 to 12 something can't remember the exact number. So now I guess my doc is trying both idc what we do even if its trt just want to feel normal again

Go 500 i.u. EOD for 6 weeks and then get blood work.
