HCG with TRT

[Jglenn44]

Hey guys... I've been on TRT (120mg/week) for about a year now. My clinic switched out the HCG with Gonadotropin. The science behind gonadotropin suggests it has to be pulsed multiple times a day to be effective. My prescription says administer it just like HCG, which is twice a week. Anyway, I don't think it works as well as HCG. I talked to the doc and he said gonadotropin was the only option since the FDA pulled HCG off the shelves of the compounding pharmacies.

Now, I'm considering either not using anything, or picking up some HCG from another source. I don't plan to have kids, the only difference I notice is maybe a drop off in mood and my testicles seem to be more 'atrophied'. In other words, they use to hang low, now they kinda wanna not do so. Lol anyway, I know tmi.

Here's my question - What's your take on HCG with TRT? I've seen several of you all I respect on here suggest it's a waste, while others advocate its' use. I haven't had any bloods in a couple months to see its' effect on my levels.

So, that's where I"m at. Thanks in advance for your feedback!

Well my thoughts are that it’s perfectly fine. I know many guys on TRT that do use HCG. The reason being is that once you introduce exogenous testosterone you natural shuts down and so your balls will atrophy as well. So if you want normal size nuts then HCG is needed. Someone else please chime in if you think differently.

I appreciate the thoughtful response. At this point, I'm probably gonna go with it.

I don't support hcg anymore, it seems to be a really dangerous compound backed by a lot of broscience. Read these articles

So I'm no fan of HCG but you can find it on our sponsors sites - inc PSL

these anti aging clinics are like car dealerships. bait and switch, selling you things you don't need, changing prices. anything to make more $$$ to screw you over.

your doctor isn't being fully honest with you. hcg was pulled because the FDA is getting tired of anti aging clinics selling it to their clients when it has no purpose at all aside from keeping nuts plump. they let it slide for years but these clinics started to get too greedy and that forced them to step in. it does NOT prevent shut down (complete bro science). all hcg is is lab made pregnant female urine lol. why would you need to inject that lol? think about it

if you want plumper nuts just use n2generate, it is natural herbals that keep your nuts plump just fine.

if you still insist on hcg domestic supply sells it.

and get off that gonadtropin, same concept as hcg. your HPTA is already SHUT DOWN FOR LIFE since you are on TRT. so injecting this stuff is pointless

That's really the type of input I was looking for! Thank you guys.

Theres no reason to use hcg if on trt unless you are obsessed with ball size, which I will never understand.

There is also benefit if youre trying to have a kid. Other than that its pointless

HCG is gonadotropin man. Same thing. You do not need it unless you are trying to have kids.

I have thought about using HCG and my doc used to pitch it really hard. But as others have said there isn't much benefit.

I've been on TRT going on 3 years. Some days my nuts seem fine, almost the same as pre-TRT. Then there are the occasional days when my sack resembles a couple of pasty shriveled prunes.

My wife loves to play with my balls so I do get a little self conscious sometimes but she knows its a side effect of TRT and it doesn't seem to bother her.

everyone is different on their thoughts on it with trt... i tell the people that want to do it to run it every 4 weeks every 3-4 months... thats more than enough... 1000 ius per week
