In response to LH, the tests don't just produce testosterone, they also produce and secrete other hormones. That includes Progesterone, DHEA, Androstenedione, Pregnenolone, and more.
These are all hormones which are also important for other functions in your body. Unfortunately, Testosterone monotherapy has a negative feedback to both hypothalamus and pituitary, causing suppression of these normal signaling mechanisms. LH and FSH are no longer produced, and so HCG is prescribed in their absence!!
Why should you care though if you're on AAS's-TRT and don't care to have kids? SIMPLE, because those other hormones are pretty damn important. Yes, your adrenal galnds make them,but not nearly as much as the tests.......Ghostprofit

As hcg tells your body to start using your testys again. If your on testosterone its telling your testicles to take 10. Then being on hcg during is telling them too turn on? Ive heard Seth feroce, loyd, piana and lee priest talk about that. I'm not being argumentative at all. I've heard for pregnancy protocol to blast hcg, hmg and clomid. Im not trying to sound like a know it all whatsoever. Im prescribed testosterone. My dr doesn't have me on hcg. But my gf is pregnant. But took awhile. Im wondering if i should start taking hcg or hmg during to prevent anything. Nice read. Thank you for the info
