question from a user
I started HCG 1200 IU weekly at the same time as 100 mg test, with no AI. If my bloods come back normal but with high e2, would the first course of action be to: reduce HCG dosage reduce testosterone add in an AI Or something else?
AlphaMD's Answer
It would depend on a few things. First, how you're feeling on the two medications & what your Testosterone comes back as. If you are feeling great with no side effects, but your E is overly high, then we would suggest switching to Subq injections, increasing frequency of injections (with lower amounts each time) or adding an AI while on the higher HCG dose.Assuming you will only be at the higher level of HCG while trying for conception, those would seem like reasonable choices for the short term while you are at this level.
