continuing my education on this

know i read over 500IU a day will cause one to go primary...

since i was prescribed (not doin it this way) 5000iu 3x week for 8 weeks....

is that not testicular suicide?

someone link me up to studies regarding the dangers of too much HCG


is there anything out there on Dr marianco or shippens recommendation of getting free test around 300 in relation to SHBG and TT??

i have the graph, i would like to read the theories or studies regarding it, if any


i want to have an informed discussion with my guy over all of this, arimidex too...

thanks

shbg is like a cork that bobs up and down in the water.
look for test panel with bio + free+ total as more of an indicator then shbg.

Shbg low some require lower e2 to offset its nasty side effects

so many damn theories out there....oh well, im young..ill find what works

also, i guess what i would really like to know with proof, is the few things that i see mentioned that effects test levels, that my urologist MAY not know.

we test thyroid, dheas, estradiol (e2), ect

but i would like to add cortisol, and whatever refers to adrenals and anything else that may influence how my body is handling the test

i'd even touch on growth hormone, as if HCG is covered, i bet it would be if i had a prescription..

Ive heard of HCG being OK in doses up to 2000IU a few times a week as a way of kickstarting your HPTA, but not 5000IU and only for a few weeks. 8 weeks seems like a long time to me. But as you say, there are so many different protocoles out there so who am I to say whats right or wrong. But from what I know, 5000IU of HCG in one dose for anything seems excessive.

Did your Dr say why it needs to be THAT much? Is he combining it with anything else?

[phatkid77]

no, it was his theory to see if it would restart me... im not trying it as i would much rather be on test and 400iu HCG 2x week....

and, since im 30 yrs old, will 150mg wk, be sufficient until im 80yr old, or would it be like steroids, where you eventually need more to stay at the same level..

this could be a big information thread.....:)
