Adding HCG to primo and test

[Jayyyyyeeeeez]

I’ve been on test and primo for a minute. Recently did my e2 test and my levels are tanking. I want to up my test but my hct is borderline high. I’m thinking about adding HCG to get me e2 back to normal range. Would anyone recommend this?

You have not presented enough information to receive a quality response.

How much testosterone are you on? How often are you administering? How much primo are you using? What is your current hematocrit? What does it trend at? Are you hydrated when your blood is drawn? How low is your estrogen? Are you experiencing any low estrogen effects? What do you expect from an elevated estradiol?

Some low hanging fruit: improve your hydration, your ratio of testosterone to primo may need to change regardless of HCG use, these numbers can fluctuate depending on your goals (long term cruise, off-season growing, cutting phase, etc.), and your overall health is more important than a handful of transient metrics on bloodwork.

Hct is at 50
Test 150mg weekly
Primo 150mg weekly
Estrogen is below 30 feeling tired most of the time. Body aches.
I stay hydrated. I wanted to do 2:1 ratio for test and primo but that means I would be only taking 75mg primo which isnt gonna do nothing for me

50 is not high

50 is not high

I was at 56 but just had a phlebotomy 2.5 weeks prior.

Hopefully it doesn’t climb back up

Why not just lower the ratio of primo some, so E2 doesn't go as low. That is what i do.
As a side note i also use HCG routinely for various goals.

Separate from what was discussed above (crit and lowering primo ratio to testosterone - both valid), in reading this it seems as if you are not wanting to increase test dosage and favoring hcg due to hcg not impacting crit vs increasing testosterone.

I may not be reading that right but, as read, that's not exactly true. Hcg acts like lutenizing hormone so will stimulate the testes to produce natural testosterone. This natural testosterone will aromatize into E2 (so that's right) BUT that hcg stimulated testosterone, same as injected exogenous test, will increase epo which in turn increases red blood cells from bone marrow which equals higher hematocrit.

So if not increasing crit is driving you to hcg, it won't work like that.
