Agreed. More than that though, I like knowing that I'm keeping my axis fully functioning. Taking test without HCG is like disconnecting emissions equipment on a modern car - just because it still runs with the engine light on doesn't mean it's running right.I like HCG because I llike having golf balls instead of marbles.
I’ve been out of HCG for a few months now. I haven’t been able to get any. I upped my testosterone dose and so far I haven’t noticed much difference. Testicles are still big.
fertility is actually the one thing I do NOT like. If I could magically turn that off without messing up anything else, I would!Fertility and cosmetic
Make that "partially functioning." You've somewhat restored the "T" in HPTA. The upstream stuff is still disrupted, including GnRH especially, and probably kisspeptin and neurokinin B as well.... More than that though, I like knowing that I'm keeping my axis fully functioning. ...
Reliablerxpharmacy has it. I just ordered 3 more vials.For me, HCG keep my testicles somewhat full but not 100%. The main thing is that my orgasms suck without it. 500iu x2 per week does it for me.
I'm still using the Pregnyl I have from when I was on HCG Mono nearly two years ago. My endo hooked me up at the time, unfortunately I'm down to 2 or 3 10,000iu vials and don't know if I'll be able to get more from him.
