HCG

Has anyone here tried HCG? With the low LH and FSH numbers that almost everyone has got, I would think that HCG might really help some of us.

Any experiences with this?

I have experience with prescribed HCG and resultant symptoms, pathology etc, ask away…

Hey Hypo,

I was wondering if anyone has had experience with using HCG for finasteride induced problems. (We should think up a name for this thing).

Any successes, failures? Any experience with it at all? I want to go on it ASAP but am having problems getting it.

I know how it works and what it does, but I wonder how it goes with people who have used finasteride because as we all know, we are in a whole different boat.

I did HCG for 3 months with Testosterone shots. Its just another way of getting your T up, so I dont think its more usefull than testosterone shots to help finasteride problems. I just used it to keep my balls going until I got off TRT. Actually, when I got off TRT, I did HCG alone a week before I started nolvadex. Felt no different.

Read my story in personal profiles for more info.

Hey guys, Here is a page I just came across on HCG and TRT use to increase libido. I really want to try something : forum.mesomorphosis.com/mens-hea … 39490.html
I took Propecia for only 3 weeks, and have now been off it three weeks, and am very frightened because things are still not right, I cannot get it up. Even with my hot naked girlfriend, who we used to have mad sex all day long together, lying right next to me. I really want to try something… like HCG or TRT or even Clomid I have heard can make a difference. It says he “doesn’t get much work done because he has such a high libido.”

Of course i wouldn’t try anything until I do more research first, and also have all my accurate test results back as well, but I would just like to try something, and something soon. I NEED A JUMPSTART.

Although I tell you my biggest fear and instincts are telling me that there is really just some bad nerve damage down there in my prostate and testicles and this is why I am having sexual problems.

Thank you very much.

Boston - i’d like to try some hormone or drug replacement.

HCG is an analogue that mimics LH and as long as it is prescribed it acts in a way to boost your own testosterone production, but as soon as HCG is withdrawn you are left with a very suppressed hypothalamus/pituitary and you have a low hormonal output.

So HCG unless prescribed and taken on a permanent basis does not jump start your system- it suppresses it.

TRT also suppresses your own testosterone production and replaces lost hormones.

You need an endocrine referral first, bloods second and only then can you consider your situation in terms of diagnosis and then possible treatment.

If at that stage you and your endocrinologist wish to try and jump start your testosterone production via by stimulating the HPTA then you might consider Clomiphene Citrate

Just be aware that Clomid is heavy shit that might give you permanent sideeffects like I got! (same with nolvadex although I seemed to tolerate that better)

What permanent side effects did you get Legenden?

Floaters in my left eye.

Actually I also have a strange phenonom where I see little blue dots at night when I open my eyes in the dark, but thats not nearly as annoying as the floaters.

Nearly two weeks ago I had a 5000 IU HCG shot. I feel absolutely nothing, except tiredness.

I was prescribed two more shots I don’t know if I’ll do them or if I give up HCG. My doc was sure that would restart my libido and was even afraid it was too much.

the hcg treatment consist only in 3 hcg shots ?

I tried it and had no results

Well, about ten days ago I had my second shot of HCG. I can’t say there is something spectacular, but I’ve been feeling some noticeable improvement down below: Morning wood has returned (it had totally disappeared for more than a year), I feel more excitement and pleasure during masturbation and now something happens in the head. My Doc changed 100mg Pregnenolone to 200mg/day and I take 10mg Cialis/week. Better be cautious with Cialis, the written secondary effects are: Blindness, deafness, death :smiling_imp:

Back to 0 again since two days.
