How should I dose my testosterone and HCG when starting TRT?

Asked in r/Testosterone · Answered by the HeydayMD team ·

The poster is beginning their TRT journey and is looking for guidance on how to effectively balance and schedule their testosterone and HCG dosages.

The short answer

When starting TRT, the goal is to maintain stable blood levels, which is why many clinicians recommend splitting your testosterone dose into at least two injections per week. Adding HCG can help maintain testicular function and fertility, but it requires careful titration to avoid excessive estrogen spikes. At HeydayMD, we emphasize a personalized approach to your TRT dosing guide to ensure your protocol matches your specific biomarkers and lifestyle needs. Monitoring your labs frequently during the first few months is essential to finding the 'sweet spot' where you feel your best with minimal side effects.
