Thread: WHY YOU NEED HCG WITH YOUR HRT

Originally Posted by Geardepot

When your body has enough testosterone, the brain does not send the LH signal to your testicles. Therefore, you will not make any testosterone until your levels drop to below normal and the signal returns, stimulating production. Since you are getting testosterone from an outside source, your brain is most likely not sending that signal to your testicles. Over time, the old adage of “use it or lose it” comes into play and your testicles will shrink in size. The time is different for every man and the amount of “shrinkage” is different for every man. Fortunately, the HCG will quickly restore the size and function.
Also...when you are on testosterone therapy, it is inevitable that your cholesterol level will go up. Cholesterol is the beginning chemical structure for many of our hormones. The enzyme that begins the changes of cholesterol into other hormones is stimulated by LH. When taking testosterone, LH is suppressed. When you inject the HCG, the enzyme is stimulated again and the pathway flows normally.
So...using HCG while taking testosterone is important to maintain testicular size and function, help balance the other hormones needed in the body, and increases a man’s sense of well-being and libido.
I recommend 500IU three times a week, one week on, three weeks off. Inject the HCG during the first week of each month.

Quick, easy, and informative. Right to the point. Nice! Thanks for this GD.

Question: Why not done on a weekly basis vs the 1 week on 3 weeks off?

I have never heard of that before! I have never encountered that. My Estradiol is always in check using HCG

Maybe you're just not as sensitive to it. From what I've read and learned in my TRT group if def increases e2. I've ran it with 0 issues too. I can also keep my test in the 1500s with 0 AI.

Yeah you're probably right brother. I've never had any issues with it at all like I said but also just like you I can keep my Test real high and experience almost no sides from E being too high. Crazy how these things affect one from another you know.....

I tried it for a while as well and same thing happened to me. I'm TRT for life now though and am way done with having kids so I said fuck it and cut it out. 200 mg of Test per week with a good E2 balance and my libido is great. However I would likely experiment more with HCG if I wanted more kids or cared about ball size. Big balls are nothing but an inconvenience anyway lol
