question from a user
I’m on test 100 mg per week pinned twice a week. I recently added 500iu hcg split twice weekly. Almost immediately I got acne on my chest back and arms and felt very irritable and on edge. Will that eventually pass or should I reduce dose of test? I stopped taking it because it made me feel horrible

It sounds like you were right at your sweet spot for Testosterone levels where your body didn't see it as an issue & aromatase into extra estrogen. Adding HCG may have upset that balance. Based on that you've said, it does sound Estrogen related. So you can switch to Subq injections from IM, increase the injection frequency of both to three times weekly (and lowering the individual injections), look to add a low dose AI, or reduce your dose like you suggest.
If it is E related, it probably won't go away on its own, and one of those actions should help.
