Can these still be tested after only 1-2 injections? To see if you are primary/secondary? Or is it completely shot after the 1st?
The result would be completely unreliable. FSH/LH are pulsed at different rates throughout the day and are suppressed by testosterone, estrogen, and cortisol(LH only).
Most people are secondary. Reasons for primary are trauma to the testicles, cancer, genetic disorders (klinefelters and others), ochidectomy (testicle removal), cancer therapy, viral infection and possibly a completely idiopathic reason that I’m sure would have been very noticeable.
C27, thanks for the response. I had a bout with pro-hormones in mid mid-twenties and erection wasn’t the same since. Should I be pursuing TRT if I am secondary? Should I be pushing for HCG instead?

I think hCG and clomid are novel approaches as monotherapies and are successful at treating some, sometimes all, of men’s low testosterone issues however in many it doesn’t really work out as it should. Your endo may be of the try anything else first group of physicians OR like mine, just go with what is simply going to work. Being on 25mg Test, 350iu hCG ,and 0.5mg anastrozole E3D I couldn’t care less that I’ve shut down FSH/LH. It’s obvious to me now that the combo works.
