+ 1 Testicular atrophy with TRT?
ad
Hey all,
I've been on TRT for 10 weeks, I'm taking 150mg Test C/week, along with HCG (.25cc 2x/week). I feel great and I'm gaining muscle but I've notice that my testicles are starting to atrophy. Has anyone else experienced this and if so what did they do? I haven't done anything outside the prescribed treatment so far.

In response to the body eventually not letting the HCG work, NAC (N-acetyl-cystine, I think) at 600 or 1200 mg day may prevent that from happening. I don't have sources to cite, but they may be out there.
Yes, mine are smaller. I don't have a source for HCG currently. It gives me really bad acne, so I have to take anti-biotics with it. Clomid make me feel like shit. Won't take it.
X2 bro, clomid makes me angry, sad, then angry, then depressed, apathetic, but never close to happy!?!
Thanks everyone for responding, great suggestions. My doc increased my dose to 500IU 2x/week, I'll see how that works. I'm going to try to get smaller vials too, I'm not going to go through the 11000 IU bottles fast enough for them to keep their effectiveness. I'm going to get some Clomid on hand too in case I need it. Again, thanks for the time.
I've been on TRT for years, my doctor gives me 300mgs of test c every other week, but no HCG as of yet. I order it from a trusted source and do 1 moth on and 1 month off at 250iu 2X/week which does the trick. By week 3 on my off time the "old jewels" are starting to atrophy pretty good, but after the 2nd pin I get that unmistakable ache and the process begins all over again. This is just my experience and everyone metabolizes things differently, but it does the trick for me. It's by no means perfect, but a far cry from "pebble nuts". Hope this helps bro!
BTW: welcome to "blast and cruise" status bro!!!
AnonHCG and Clomid are going to be your friends here. Run them in an alternating fashion, not at the same time. Go 2 -3 weeks with the clomid and 2-3 weeks with the HCG then 2-3 weeks of neither. If you run either for too long your body will become used to that drug and it will loose effectiveness.
Good info.
What dose of clomid are you running for this purpose (not pct)?
Thanks
Anon100 mg each night before bed for 2 weeks at a clip. Ive never experienced any unpleasant sides .
Thanks!
Don't want to hijack.....but
Is there anywhere that discusses this alternating HCG/Clomid protocol?
AnonWe could start a thread, to see , but this is just my personal protocol.
You should be able to easilly research that clomid and HCG dont work well taken together though. And you should be able to find that you can use either with similar results. The alternating part is my thing because I was always lead to believe if you took one or the other for extended periods they get less effective.
QtripsHas this happened to you? I've been on HCG for over 3 years now, every day. No loss in effectiveness whatsoever. I've heard guys mention this sometimes but have never seen or heard about it happening to anyone. And to add, HMG would be awesome but that shit's expensive.
AnonNo it hasnt happened to me because I have always been cautious with it based on what I have read.
Perhaps like most things though the threat is overhyped. Im glad you can testify with personal experience. Plus it does seem as if a lot of people are unjustly scared of HCG.
Yeah, it's not severe but I want to fix it before it becomes an issue. I'm only pinning twice a week but my doc increased my dosage. I'll see if that fixes the problem but I like the Clomid idea too.
When you say hcg we need to know IUs not ccs. Depending on how you mixed it. 25 ccs could be anything.
Hcg should be keeping them full. However, there's a lot of bunk hcg going around. Have you tested with a pregnancy test?
X2. There are plenty of sites to find mixing instructions online. If you want I can walk you through it DFI, just PM me.
AnonRight on there !! I always buy one extra bottle in each batch I order to squirt on to a preg test.
I haven't tested it but this is a prescription from a doctor, I would assume it's good. I mixed 5.5cc of bacteriostatic water into an 11000 IU vial, I think it's supposed to last for 11 weeks. I've been reading about HCG not being good for more than 2-4 weeks in the fridge, maybe it's losing it's potency? Either way I'll call the doc on Monday but was curious if anyone else has experienced this.
Definitely no good for 11 weeks. More like 28 days, 4 weeks.
So you have 2000 iu per cc. So i can't remember, but I think you said. 25cc so thats 500 iu which is about right per week.
Id guess after 4 weeks its degrading fast.
