Desensitized to hcg, now what?

[CroLifter]

Been ON since March, using hcg mostly on. So lets say 3 months of hcg usage averaging 800 iu a week.

I stopped responding to it. I got pharma hcg. Balls are soft and small. I dont feel great.

I guess upcoming pct will be a failure?

What can i do do regain sensitivity?


Peace

Maybe try adding HMG for the restart?

It depends. Do you like either Barbra Streisand or Celine Dione? Do you ever think about women with "cankles"?

In for answers because I’m about to run hcg for the first time. So did you do twice a week injections of 400mgs? I

Man I'm feeling for you dude, you're really lucking out with sh1t. Must be frustrating as fuk.

Never seen any literature which shows densensitization to HCG.

Its just length on exogenous hormones causing it.

Use a proper clinical dose post washout, 1000iu eod.

Hm so i should be ok then?

I would be inclined to believe i wasnt desensitized if it was only for the loss of feel good and libido effect... It could be simply that i have become accustomed.

Issue is testicle size and softness. Anyway i got some transdermal dhea and pregnenolone but still i need hcg for recovery.


@Nac i did it to myself, so...it is what it is.

@Beau i dont think about women

How are you dosing it? Too much at once (very individual) will spike localized E2 production and that will desensitize the Leydig and Sertoli cells to hCG. My sweet spot is 150-200iu hCG daily. I still get wide swings in testicle size.

Any chance the hcg went bad? I know it is suppose to break down pretty fast once mixed. I’m sure even pharm grade stuff has a bad batch or one that sat too long sometimes.

perhaps controlling E, n keeping it low + staying off of hcg for a while may be good idea. Try some LH mimetics/stimulation fadogia, tongkat, cistanche..

I ll try staying off of it for a while and see what happens.

I agree with this in theory. I got roasted for saying this same thing in a post 1 time.

But if the OPs has a typical 5iu vial, he's gonna run out every 4 or 5 weeks. So going bad in the fridge shouldn't be an issue.

Op, if u r this worried, then its time for pct. Stop cycle, increase hcg dosage for 2-3 weeks. Then start pct after last hcg shot. Get bloodwork after pct, then do another hcg to clomid bridge if need be.
