New to TRT, Is This Dose too Low?

[MrGrant]

@Jmoney1
i was on TRT for over two years and my testicles shrank a LOT, started HCG, first shot 500iu then 250iu a week and within 4 weeks they had grown in size again. I was trying it just to see if I felt any “upstream benefits”, I used it for 2 months and have now stopped and will use again in a few months for a short period.
I posted about it in this thread

HCG on TRT for Upstream Benefits?

Hi all, looking for info regarding the use of HCG while on TRT. Not for fertility or aesthetics, just for possible “upstream” benefits from it being produced. Some clinics seem to put clients on straight away, others don’t. None seem to offer supplementation from pills etc. Its obviously a very important hormone but since it decreases soo much as you age is it beneficial to still produce it when my natural levels would be naturally low and as I have high test and estrogen from my shots? I expe…

The reason I went with this dose is because of another thread where @lordgains gave some info from a paper (paper link in thread).

Shutdown of the H and P, is that a Bad Thing when on TRT?

Hey guys, I’m normally over at the Pharma section but I found something interesting that belongs here. I’m weighing pros and cons to make up my mind if TRT is going to be in my future or not. While thinking about it, I asked myself: What about the hypothalamus and the pituitary? Is it a bad thing that TRT shuts down these possibly important hormones? I mean, how realistic is it that LH, FSH, GnRH and the involved peptides have exactly one job in the body? Not very as nearly every transmitter …

FYI, I’m 57 so not interested in having kids etc, or really in how they look. Just tried it for any hormonal benefits it may give.
