question from a user
Am 8 weeks in on Test Enanthate, was diagnosed with Primary hypo I started low at 125mg and last 2 weeks bumped it up to 150mg. I want to add in HCG around 1000iu a week split across 2-3 days to keep my fertility going. My question is, should I drop to 100mg a week of test with 1000iu HCG as this is a protocol I see some people following?

Your protocol sounds good to us as is. Something to keep in mind is that you should be adjusting things based on your symptoms and how your doses make you feel. I'm betting you went up to 150mg because 125mg wasn't feeling right, and the it likely did after. The 1000iu HCG will do a bit for you, but with primary your natural production even if boosted a bit isn't likely to be able to make up for 50mg of Test a week while suppressed.
150mg sounds fine if you're feel fine. 1000iu may be a bit high if you're just keeping things running & not trying to have a kid, but it's also a fine range. Follow how you're feeling.
