[QUOTE="aneuman, post: 254560, member: 43264"] HCG stands for Human Chorionic Gonadotropin. It's a hormone produced primarily by the placenta in pregnant women that that two subunits, Alpha and Beta; the Alpha subunit is identical to the LH hormone produced by the pituitary and responsible for stimulating the Leydig cells in the testicles to produce testosterone. This means that if your pituitary is not producing enough LH, HCG could stand in for it and stimulate the testicles to have then produce testosterone. It's bit more complicated and involved but this should be enough to understand what it is. People on TRT use it because exogenous testosterone suppresses LH production through negative feedback. Because there's no LH, the testicles do not produce testosterone and start getting atrophied (getting smaller). In addition, other hormones such as progesterone may not be produced at the right level. HCG, standing in for LH, keeps the testicles working and maintain their size (or close to it) and other hormones in adequate levels. Some people on TRT claim that HCG helps them with sensibility and orgasm, others don't see any effect, while some see negative effects due to increased estradiol. How you get it? Legally, it can be prescribed by a doctor and bought through a pharmacy with a prescription. There are other grey markets as well but I won't get into them. Pros: [LIST=1] [*]Testosterone Production: HCG stimulates the production of testosterone in the testes, which can help restore testosterone levels in individuals with hypogonadism. [*]Preserving Fertility: HCG therapy can help maintain or improve fertility in men with hypogonadism by stimulating the production of sperm. [*]Testicular Size Maintenance: HCG can help prevent testicular shrinkage that may occur as a result of low testosterone levels. [*]Psychological Well-being: Restoring testosterone levels through HCG therapy may improve mood, energy levels, and overall well-being in individuals with hypogonadism. [*]Some people claim that their penis feels fuller and hangs lower, other reports better sensibility and orgasm. [/LIST] Cons: [LIST=1] [*]Injections: HCG therapy typically involves regular injections, which may be inconvenient or uncomfortable for some individuals. [*]Cost: HCG therapy can be costly, especially if it is not covered by insurance. The price of HCG medication and regular monitoring can add up over time. [*]Adverse Effects: HCG therapy may cause certain side effects, including fluid retention, breast enlargement, acne, irritability, and changes in cholesterol levels. These effects are generally mild but can vary among individuals. [*]Variable Response: The effectiveness of HCG therapy can vary from person to person. Some individuals may experience significant improvements in testosterone levels and symptom relief, while others may have a more limited response. [*]Temporary Solution: HCG therapy is typically used as a temporary measure to stimulate testosterone production. It may not provide a long-term solution for individuals with primary hypogonadism (testicular dysfunction) and may require ongoing treatment or alternative interventions. [/LIST] Typical doses for hypogonadism (mono therapy) range from 500 to 2000 IU a week. It's well acknowledged that it's preferable to inject less than 500 IU in 24 hours to prevent a spike in Estradiol. Some studies suggest that 300 IU every day for 5 days have the same effect as 1500 IU at once, without causing desensitization of the Leydig cells and without causing a spike of estradiol. People on TRT usually use from 250 to 500 IU once or twice a week to prevent testicular atrophy and additional sense of well-being in some cases. Finally, HCG is infamous for causing a fantastic sense of well-being, incredible erections, orgasms, and a general feeling of having reached the fountain of youth the first few days after the initial treatment, only to go away and not being able to recreate it regardless of dose or frequency. Hope this helps answering your question. [/QUOTE]
