I presume the answer is yes? I am asking because I wondered if once you lost fat, started lifting steady again etc that natural test production would take over?
Incorrect, once you start on TRT, your natural T production from your testicles is suppressed. That’s why the testicles atrophy. HCG helps prevent the atrophy and also tricks your body into producing some natural testosterone by mimicking Leutenizing Hormone.
If you develop prostate cancer or heart disease or some other negative health conditions, your doctor may stop your TRT. But then there should be some PCT (Post Cycle Therapy) to help counteract the side-effects of coming off TRT.
There’s a lot more to it and much more involved answers may follow. However, this is just my quick and dirty reply with the time I currently have.
In my opinion it depends on the reason for HRT. If my body will never be right without it and the problem can’t be fixed. I probably won’t ever opt to feel like shit again.
Generally, it is for life once you start.
