Guest guest Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 , I am 32 as well and I have had a very different experience than you. I do 50 mg shots every 3 days with HCG every day before my T shot and my levels never fall. I also take aromasin to keep my E2 levels down. You should really look at Dr. 's protocol and try to follow that to the T (no pun intended). I think you will begin to have better results if you do Sharon, Hang in there, things will get better. I was in the same position your boyfriend is in and unfortunately, things didn't come around for me quickly enough and my wife left me. If she would have just waited another couple of months, things would have been very different and we would probably still be together (although thank God that she did leave me and I discovered her selfishness because I would never be with someone like that). So, just be patient and supportive and things will eventually come around. And please ask all the questions you want on here, that is how I got better.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 If I was you and him I would find Dr that knows what a man needs 200 is way to low and he should be taking 100 per week until his levels come up.

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 High , HCG acts like the LH and FSH message sent to your testis to tell them to make Testosterone you don't have them sorry about that. So HCG will not work for you. I pray your safe were your at in Japan it's the worst thing I ever seen in all my 67 yrs. I pray they get there Country back in order and people don't suffer any more.
