What does HCG do for you?........................

[Alpin]

Just wanted to know what HCG does for someone besides serve as analog LH signal.
I've lowered my doses of it and starting to feel less anxious and less clammy in the hands....
I was running 500 i.u. HCG E3D while on TRT at 60-70 mg E3D....
I def. did feel a tad more anxious at higher doses of HCG...
Reason I used 500 .i.u. a dose is cause anything less doesn't really do much for me.
Does HCG make adrenal hormones like epinephrine ?

so far its making my balls hang like they should other than that not a thing, but only pinned it 2 times so far.

Personally when I take anything over 250iu HCG I get pretty dam anxious the same day.

Hasn't increased my load size much, balls seem same size as well, didn't shrink since starting trt...

I've read it can put stress on your thyroid and adrenals and if those aren't optimal you could have some issues, like anxiety.

Also 500iu and over could cause estrogen problems as well which leads to many issues. HCG makes pregnenolone, not sure about other hormones though.

I don't think hcg makes pregnalone, I think it it stimulates testis to make it?

Well if that is the case I bet you are gonna love 2000 iu. EOD or 1000 i.u. EOD which ever u settle with. Honestly, you should have a doc walk you through this.

The adrenals do have receptors for hCG/LH, but LH binding doesn't cause the release of epinephrine.

hCG can induce thyrotoxosis during pregnancy, so what you're experiencing could be thyroid related. There are also LH/hCG receptors in the brain, and LH affects other hormones downstream that could be influencing how you feel. Either way, LH has pretty well documented effects on cognition (at least in animals), so it's not all too surprising that you noticed something

My doc prescribed me 500 units (.5 ml) 3 times a week. HCG is the only thing on my stack that I am not 100% comfortable with yet.

Or maybe a question about d-ballz and milk thistle.

When dosing HCG in 1000-1500 iu. /week range....
I notice mental energy, alert, and an antidepressant like effect similar to what wellbutrin does...
Taking T alone is bland but when HCG is mixed in as well it feels better.

so my 2500iu twice a week is bad right....gonna make that change. Maybe that's the reason for some of the anxiety I have. Has anyone else dosed that high before?

iu =/= mg

gotta love them d-ballz

bottle of hcg a week baby!
Every week!

The most I see is usually 500ius 2-3X week.
Most, person dependent, take 250ius 2-3 a week and do just fine.

2500ius is most likely causing a ridiculous amount of intratescticular and bodily estrogen as Apollon stated.

500 iu. 3 times a week did the trick for me....
If all one needs to do is reach the 500 ng/dl threshold while on HCG (before the restart's SERM phase)...then I got there.
