New on the board, with a couple of questions.

[yellowballs]

Hey guys, Just got my profile up, good to be here.

I was poking around and saw some things that has me wanting to ask a question.

My Dr. has me on 200mg of T Cyp/week and 1000iu of HCG/week.

I decided to break up the Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) to 500iu every 4 days after reading it here. (dont tell my DR!!)

Question 1) Is it better to take Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) the day before your test shot?

Question 2) does anyone know if taking test can lead to very dry skin?

1) Taking Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) the day before test shot is a common approach, though there doesn't seem to be complete agreement about timing.
2) Usually test (and other androgens) have the opposite effect by stimulating the growth of sebaceous glands.

oh, and Welcome!

Agree with what mprtz has to say

IMHO you should do 250iu EOD, to avoid spiking estrogen, along with 100mg t-cyp every 3.5 days, to keep levels more steady

also, you need to have your e2 checked and an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) if they get too high (you don't want hot flashes and man-boobs)

Yeah I get the E2 checked. I will look into the 250iueod thanks buddy!

I don't use hcg, but I have heard that taking it too frequently is counterproductive.

well, take this with a grain of salt, as I am not a doc, just a guy on the internet (Dr. Google, MD) - LOL - so YMMV, etc.

one of the more straight forward references I have found about Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) is from Dr. Crisler - All Things Male - Center for Men's Health - Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) Update

seems to advise more of a twice a week, approach.

but, like everything with testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), it is debatable and may not work for everyone.

I have been taking Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) twice a week with great results. I wouldn't want to do any more than that. I have been taking Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) on Tuesday and Friday. My test is on Sunday. So far so good!

Due to the Bi Phasic pattern of HCG, it is best dosed every 3 to 4 days.

Yes. I read that here a few times. Also read that some people feel good with 250 iu every 3 or 4 days and others at 500 iu.

Personally I think I respond to 500 better. But every now and then I will drop down to 250 for a shot or two to avoid desensitization (read that here to).
