What is the highest dose you have seen of HCG with testosterone?

[factor5a]

I'm thinking about raising my dose from 300 two times weekly to 500 units. With my 70 mgs of Testosterone.

What is the highest HGC dose you have seen ,in conjuction with testosterone?

Thanks

500 twice a week is pretty common in conjunction with HRT.

I don't know where I heard about that dose,but I'm going to try it to see how it works and will post my results.

Some guys do not get much effect from 250 IU.  I did just fine as far as volumization with 250, but not everyone does.

What about the other end of the spectrum? What's the minimum where somebody's getting useful results?

I don't think that less than 500 weekly will do something,but everybody is different

It's a little difficult to determine the right dose for you, but try not to take in more than 500 in one shot.  You could do twice a week or 3x weekly, just not more than 500 per shot.

I've never heard of anyone doing less than 250 IU twice per week but who knows?

I'm doing 1,500 IUs of HCG twice a week plus 50mg of testosterone once a week. This regimen seems to work okay for me.

Dr. Larry Lipshultz, last I checked, was still recommending 500IU 3x per week along with testosterone.  That's the highest I've seen from any doctor specializing in HRT, but that is certainly higher than most would recommend.

But it also depends on the Test dose,right ,Hydranted?  In my opinion it is not the same to have ,let's say 70 mgs of test weekly than 100 mgs in this last one , maybe 1500 iu weekly could be a lot or I'm wrong ?

Yes for most men on TRT, 1500IU of hCG is a very hefty weekly dose.  It's unnecessary to take that much unless the user doesn't respond to lower doses for one reason or another.  It would be extremely rare for that much hCG to be needed. 

HCG aromatizes into estradiol, and some guys are very sensitive to this type of aromatization.  Men have reported over aromatization from very small/reasonable doses of hCG, so taking 1500IU definitely has the potential to create problems.

To answer your question, yes, a lower dose of testosterone would theoretically be "better" if high doses of hCG are used.  If there's already significant aromatization from the hCG, there will still be the aromatization from the testosterone to take into account.

Most doctors don't use that approach for typical HRT though.  If hCG is causing too much aromatization they usually just lower the dose of hCG, not the testosterone.

I'm on 1000 IU HCG per week, 500 IU twice weekly.

My estradiol was 30 at last draw. I'm thinking maybe I should lower my HCG dose to about 400 IU twice weekly, or split it up into 3 weekly shots of 250-300 IU each. That might nick a few points off my estradiol...

I think 1000 weekly is something I'm going to try. I'll post results

Thanks

Hey, one thing you may not be thinking about is that there is a reason to go lower with HCG:  it tends to fire up estradiol more proportionately.  So the higher you go may seem like a good thing, but the extra estradiol may not agree with you.
