question from a user
My Dr has only prescribed HCG after I'm done with my vial of Testosterone, is that normal? To only take it between my vials of testosterone? My protocol is 200/mg week split into two doses, my testosterone only gets up to around 800 with that dose. Once I'm done with the vial I take HCG for a week (shot every 2days) then a week of nothing and do blood work.

No, that would not be very normal. It is much more common to be on a consistent safe dosing of Testosterone constantly & a lower dose of HCG semi-constantly if active fertility in the near future is a concern. Constantly going on & off Testosterone, especially at that dosing, could lead you feeling fairly unbalanced do the up large ups/downs. Your body *really* prefers consistency. We would advise getting a second opinion if your healthcare plan allows for it.
