Hey guys after having a hard time finding a doctor that wanted to help me out, i finally found a clinc and started trt 3 wweeks ago. The doctor has put me on hcg only to start off with to see if my body responds well to just using hcg.his reasoning behind hcg only is due to my age (27) he wants to try and prevent infertility. Makes sense to me and i figured its worth a try before going with testostrone.
I just want to know if anyone else is on hcg only. Or any thoughts anyone has.
My dosage is 1000iu twice a week for 3 months then 1 month off.
I’m sure that isn’t a really large dose, but the reason that HCG is not used alone is the risk of desensitizing your balls to the signal LH gives them, in turn making you primary, and possibly irreversibly infertile. Should look into other reasons your T is low, but if nothing is actually wrong with you fertility, can be maintained with HCG while on TRT. In most cases infertility caused by TRT if you are secondary should be reversible. Was your E2 checked? If that is high take measures to lower it first before making the jump of to a lifetime of TRT
