I got completely conflicting advice on this thread, so yeah I wouldn’t listen to anyone and would rely on individual response to these compounds. Intratesticular testosterone production is necessary for me to achieve any kind of erection quality, regardless of test dose/ admin frequency (without at least 10mg cialis) and finish after sex.
What was the hCG dose that worked for you?
Monotherapy, correct?
It was only 200 iu 2x per week, concurrent with my TRT. It caused some emotional side effects so I decided to stop but it has been around five months and my testes have kept some size from just one, five week “cycle” on that dose. It even solved my ED issue entirely for up to two months after I got off HCG, but now my issues have come back despite maintaining a high total T. Thus, I have concluded that intratesticular testosterone production is necessary for me if I want a healthy sex life. I have to decide what to do next. I’m currently planning to undergo 2-3 six week cycles of HCG per year solely for the purpose of sexual function. I would stay on it all the time but I can’t even get it from my doctor anymore (due to compounding pharmacy ban) and it does cause some emotional side effects. Really didn’t mean any disrespect, highpull.
Sucks HCG is expansive and not as easily available anymore. I always wondered what’s protocol of HCG being more of a base and T as supplement could do for some of us, primary or secondary.

That’s what I’ve read on several sites over the years. For some, HCG is great, either as an adjunct to TRT or as a mono therapy. Other men find that it increases E2 , impairs erectile function and leaves them generally feeling unwell. @Toomanyngdl is right in the context of try it and see if it does or doesn’t improve erectile function. My urologist said he’d never prescribed it but neither did he have anything negative to say about it. It’s just not on his radar.
