hCG time to clear testoterone back to baseline

[d1444]

I have to get bloodwork off all hormones to diagnose for low testosterone.
How long after injecting hCG (500mcg) can I expect my test levels to go back to baseline?

Probably need more info on this. Hcg mimics the LH your body naturally produces if I’m not mistaken. So……how long have you been using hcg and how often was your dose? Hcg is usually in IUs….so I’m assuming you meant 500iu?
Taken one time it probably gave a boost to testosterone levels for a few days and then back to baseline I would expect.
What were your levels before hcg and what were they on hcg?

i mean if you really wanna guarantee a low test diagnosis just come off, wait a few weeks and take nothing, and get the bloodtest lol

This is what I'm doing but I need as good an approximation as I can get. Being off TRT and hCG isn't fun and "a few weeks" isn't what I'm looking for. I need to know if it's 3-4 weeks or 7-8 weeks, etc. Ppreciate ya brother

3 injections over last week totaling 500ius, Monday was the last injection. Prior to that, 4 weeks clean from TRT and hCG injections.
Prior to that my LH and FSH were low AF, 0.2< for weeks.

I've read hCG has a terminal half life of about 32hours, I was wondering (a) if there were any other downstream effects to consider that could prolong test increase and (b) how to approximate that half life into total elimination, and ask here for a rough idea.
Thanks all

oh i see
try using cycle plotter to try to approximate the drop off
if you google it youll find it
from experience coming off test id say 2 weeks, 3 weeks youll definitely be low i think. thats multiple half lives from the last injection

I don't understand
I don't understand because the thread is about hCG
I can find this information
I have found this information
I didn't mention anything about TRT half life

What I'm doing is using hCG a bit while my exogenous test leaves my body so I don't feel totally miserable. So when I go for new bloodwork, I want to know that the hCG is no longer having any effect

My man I really appreciate your effort, but you know I made the thread about hCG . Come on. Are you reading? What posts like this do is derail the thread so other people are de-incentivized from posting any helpful information they may have because it looks like you already contributed something. Then, I have to be an asshole, and make a whole new thread. Do you understand my possible frustration.
JK Im not frustrated, I just don't understand how one can just skew a simple question like that.

ok buddy so basically the test you were pinning is gone and now its gonna depend on how much test your balls are making as theyve come back online in the last 4 weeks. nobody knows how much test your balls are making. go get bloodwork and find out
