This is going to seem strange but just wondering
How do you feel when you take the injection? Can you feel it immediately, is there any dizziness or confusion initially followed by a headache, then after all that wears off do you start feeling like your pfs symptoms start to lift?
I wouldn’t say immediately. It’s pretty subtle for me. I have experienced a bit of light headedness but it’s pretty mild. The most immediate change I’ve noticed is in the penis. Within around 24 hours it goes from being very light in weight and shrunken/thinned out to more heavy and hangs more naturally. As well as looking much fuller like pre-pfs. This was most noticeable after starting HCG again.
When I started HCG a few months ago for the first time the change seemed much more gradual. Coming back on it after a month I was feeling an improvement within the same day.

I am about to start my HCG therayp. How do I manage to get 250 IU out of my 1.500 IU bottle. It is a small bottle with (hardend) powder, which needs to be dissolved in a solution.
The solution is meant for the whole 1.500 IU powder.
Sorry for the cliffhanger, boys. Really wasn’t my intention, I just am so hesitant to post anything positive given the history of my wellbeing (ups and downs.) I made that post yesterday because…for the first time in over 4 years, I actually felt about 100% cured. As good I remember feeling before I ever made the mistake of taking propecia. A little more color, I spoke with my doctor regarding HCG and we discussed a gameplan to ween off properly. My last injection was Sunday. I plan on not taking any more injections indefinitely, and seeing how I progress.
Now for the bad news. I fell asleep pretty early last night. As has been the case for over 4 years now, I woke up a few hours later feeling just as dreadful as I normally do when waking up. No wood, ringing in the ears, and just a generally awful feeling that I have been accustomed to, with or without HCG. The classic downswing that I’m sure most everyone is painfully familiar with.
I ended up going back to sleep around 6, waking up around 10 for work. I woke up still feeling shitty, but at the time of writing the post - I feel pretty good. Maybe not quite as good as I felt yesterday, but definitely pretty close.
Not really sure what to make of all this to be honest, I expect a few more ups and downs as I have been injecting a hormone for 6+ months now, so my body is going to have to do some re-adjusting over the course of the next few weeks/months of not being on it.
I’ll keep everyone updated - sorry again for the cliff hanger, I just want to be able to put this all behind me and share some positive news for a change.

Just a brief update.
I am not doing great. I’ve been hitting the gym, getting lots of sunlight as well as eating healthy. It’s been over 2 weeks since my last injection. During that period as i mentioned before, I had a day where I felt about completely cured. I also had another really positive day in that time frame.
Unfortunately, it seems like I am gradually slipping back into my normal PFS state. I haven’t had wood in 4 days or any interest in masturbating/sex in that time either.
Looking very likely I’ll hop back on HCG indefinitely.
Did you get any bloodwork done while on HCG?
Your hormones are probably plummeting right now since you quit injecting HCG.

Any update? My HCG arrives tomorrow
Hey amigo, some news?
Good luck.
I’ve been doing alright. Seeing the new Khera study gave me some encouragement. Not because there is any obvious treatment, but more so I feel validated in my decision to go on a hormone. Obviously the life rafts are not going to be coming any time soon.
I’m still on HCG. tried experimenting with 500Iu 3x a week. Didn’t notice much of a difference. I have, however noticed a trend/pattern with my usage. It seems like if I go a bit longer between shots, there is a clear pattern of some really good days about 3-4 days after my last shot.

Did anyone notice increased hairloss on HCG?
1 Like
I had no additional head hair loss with HCG. I gained hair almost everywhere on my body. Hair loss seems to have paused since PFS, except when I went on TRT, where I also gained body hair but thinned out on top, except for a small patch which really seemed thicker.
Well my hairloss did not Pause through PFS unfortunately. I guess I will increase it with HCG
But there are still hair Systems just in case
eh.
I’m alright. Here’s the cliff notes. I can have sex with no cialis. I think time itself has done a lot of good. I think its possible HCG had long-term benefits of maybe a few percentage points.
Here’s also some other facts about me right now. I still have PFS. I am not cured. I did not feel cured on HCG. Having some sort of tool in an otherwise empty arsenal gave me a sense of control, even if for a brief time. I do think HCG had it’s benefits but again, it was not a cure by any means for me.
I still have good days and bad days as it relates to PFS. this has been the case since the very beginning. Some weeks I wake up with no erection for days in a row. Other days I wake up hard and it basically evaporates in the first 30 seconds of waking.
In general, sex is not what it used to be. Sex used to be a big motivator for me in life, not so much any more. It’s not as pleasurable, I don’t think about it as often. My goal in life is now to try to salvage as much enjoyment as possible, to see if this new life is one that is worth the effort.
At the end of the day, It is painfully obvious I still have PFS. The feeling of emptiness between my legs (probably the most angering feeling that I constantly deal with.) You might say that because I can have sex with no cialis that things must be good, but that is not the case. While I am grateful I can at least have sex now, it’s kind of ironic because I really don’t have much desire to. Sensation isn’t what it used to be, orgasms are dull. It’s mostly just a workout at this point
