question from a user
Can HCG cause itching/tingling nips and enlarged breasts? I was doing fine until (under doctors orders) I injected 500iu HCG. Woke up this morning with tingling nips, and a sort of "fullness" in my breast. I took .25 anastrazole yesterday and .25 anastrazole today. It seems to be slowly going away. But I had no clue that could happen. Cutting it from my protocol. Wish I never would've spent that much money on some stuff I wouldn't even use.

No & yes.
The HCG didn't do that, your Estrogen did. Adding HCG is going to increase your total Testosterone (which can trigger additional T -> E transfer) & it is also more prone to influence your Estrogen levels than Testosterone itself. You can see that with the AI having an impact.
Not all men encounter that when using HCG. It would be more accurate to say you are a bit Estrogen transfer sensitive. If you wanted to continue to use HCG for it's fertility benefits, you would just need a bit more AI in your protocol most likely.
