HCG Monotherapy: Testicles Atrophy Recovery Fail after 1 Year

Pharma / TRT Testosterone Replacement

Hi,

I’ve been on HCG mono therapy for almost a year now. Been experimenting with the following doses:

  • 250UI x EOD,
  • 500UI x 3/week
  • 750UI x 3/week.

Lately been sticking around to 500UI x 3 times a week.
Libido and erection is fairly good, though adding .25 of Arimidex once a week improves considerably my erection and morning wood.

I’m using a pharmacy recomb version of HCG, pre-loaded in an insulin pen.
The solution is very concentrated like 6500 UI in 1ml, so each dose is few drops.

While the T levels have been pretty good with 500UI and 750UI doses, I still failed to recover my atrophied testicles. Sperm results are also great. My testicles lost their volume years ago, after few cycles and bad pct. So was wondering if they are recoverable at all, though I’m really confused how can T level and sperm quality be all good, while testicles stay shrinked.

Here are my stats and lab results:
36y old male, 189cm (6.2 ft), 76kg, 15% BF

Labs results on 500UI x 3 times a week

T Total 461,38 ng/dL (164.84 - 753.31)
T Free 18,11 pg/mL (1.00 - 28.21)
SHBG 180.39 pg/mL (138.23 - 899.08)
Estradiol 30,29 pg/mL (< 39.81)

Lab results on 750UI x 3 times a week

T Total 7.6 ng/mL (2.49 - 8.36)
T Free 180.39 pg/mL (57.1 - 178.5)
Estradiol 48.24 pg/mL (10 - 52)
SHBG 22.91 nmol/L (18.3 - 54.1)

Testicle volume: 15 x 34mm and 16 x 36.3mm

So, I was curious if hMG could make a difference versus HCG in terms of testicles volume recovery, as it contain real LH and FSH comparing to an LH mimic in HCG. I’ve been researching the topic and the forums over here, but couldn’t find specific info that would help me figure it out :frowning:

Hope to get some feedback.

Thanks

HCG never returned mine to full size (although they didn’t shrink much), but Nolva plumps them up larger than normal (maybe just feels larger). Anyway, maybe try that instead of just HCG?

I did many restarts attempts during the last 12 years, most of them separated with enough time in between (minimum 6 months), as that’s what my endo recommended at that time. I did pure HCG, I did Nolva/Clomed, as well as HCG then Nolva/Clomed.

The first HCG protocol was prescribed by my endo and helped get T levels back, which had quite high doses: 2000ui x 3 week during a 6 week period with a reduction in dose each subsequent week. Though later on because of no estrogen management, T levels reverted. That was happening with all my restart attempts though. With time though and having low T most of the time, I lost considerable size and now with hcg there is only slight improvement, but still they seem pretty atrophied.
