RE: Follow up with Endo - Downeast / K4 ur attn pls

[Guest guest]

Here is some info on dosing.

Selected Cases Of Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism In Males

1. 500 to 1,000 USP Units three times a week for three weeks, followed by t=

he same

dose twice a week for three weeks.

2. 4,000 USP Units three times weekly for six to nine months, following whi=

ch the

dosage may be reduced to 2,000 USP Units three times weekly for an addition=

al three

months.

Chemistry - A gonad-stimulating polypeptide secreted by the placenta, chori=

onic

gonadotropin  is obtained from the urine of pregnant women. It occurs as a =

white or

practically white, amorphous, lyophilized powder. It is soluble in water an=

d practically

insoluble in alcohol.

One International Unit of HCG is equal to one USP unit. There are at least =

1500 USP

Units per mg.

The side effects from HCG use include gynecomastia, water retention, and an=

increase

in sex drive, mood alterations, headaches, and high blood pressure. HCG rai=

ses

androgen levels in males by up to 400% but it also raises estrogen levels d=

ramatically

as well. This is why it can cause a real case of gynecomastia if dosages ge=

t too

elevated for that person. Another side effect seen from HCG use is morning =

sickness

(nausea and vomiting). There have been no cases of overdose complications w=

ith the

use of HCG nor have there been any associated carcinomas, liver or renal im=

pairment.

HCG was at one point looked at to see if it could carry the AIDS virus, due=

to the fact

that it is biologically active, but the latest word is that this could not =

be possible in

any way.

I find that 100iu EOD is enough for me. At 500iu i had some of these side e=

ffects.

Good luck

This question has been answered. It is advisable to do 500 units a day for

three weeks (three weeks only) and then test to see if you are getting a

response to the HCG. Read Dr. Shippens book, the Testosterone Symdrome, as

I recommended before. He tells you what to do next based on your results. It

is good to ask questions but you may have to do some of the recommended

background reading that will help you and your doc to know where you are

headed and to answer predictable questions about T and E.

This isnt going to happen. You might be able to increase your T a little

with all of the various techniques but it not going to take a hypogonal man

and put him up into the upper third of the range. It is possible that using

hcg will cause your testicles to grow and you might need less. That has been

talked about theoretically but I also think that the chances are slim.

Winter,

Great post. I agree, and would add that, as a patient, you should

also insist on frequent labs. Most MDs will draw them if you nag, but

otherwise order the minimum amount necessary...

Hi Downeast/Tehta2k/K4

Thanks for the reply, I have bought the The testosterone syndrome book

and reading it completed 40 pages.

Aplogize if I have repeated the same question.

I will start with 500 units 3 times a week and see what happens.

Thanks again for all your wonderful advice.

Regards
