Here is my 'theory' on the subject, just from reading and personal experiences, and may or may not be correct, but I am thinking that in cases where the testicles are still able to produce enough testosterone, that hcg is useful in providing a 'bridge' to get off of trt more naturally.... so running hcg for a week or two will allow the trt to clear and also will restore many other natural hormonal pathways. With hcg you are not doing anything to restore the hypothalmus or pituitary function though, so you must stop the hcg and use SERM's which stimulate and affect the hypothalmus and pituitary. I think the biggest problem with HCG is the spikes and valleys, which is still better than trt but getting natural pulsatile LH production going is still by far the best option if at all possible. |
Yes one has to go on and when I was taken off all my T meds Hell I could not get out of bed to get to work. So by doing HCG until all the T is gone sounds good but then you stop and do SERM's yet doing this does not mean your going to start to make T and you may never start. My levels just doing t shots were at 650 adding 500 IU's of HCG 3 x's a week. By the 15th shot my T levels went up to 1087. I am primary so where did the T come from this is the 64k question. Doing not
TRT or HCG all I can do is 120 Total T so you can't tell me that my Testis make over 500 ng/dl of T. If they can't do it off meds then how are they going to do it adding HCG. So could it be some other glands that are making the T and in time forcing the T production will burn out these glands. No one and nothing I have read can say why my levels went this high just adding HCG.
