I will try to decrease and see what happens. It will be an issue to convince the dr to add trt and maybe fsh.

HCG monotheraphy and libido

Thanks for the article. It seems to capture too much HCG doesn't make a difference in T mention I saw that cited by Nelson: Testicle Size: Testosterone Injections vs hCG vs T gel, T stays low with high hcg but testis size goes up.) Strangely enough, looking at Figure 5 of the article...

Dear All, This is my first post so I initially want to thank you and Nelson for this wonderful site and community. It has been super beneficial stumbling to this site. I have been on TRT for 20+ years. I think my pre TRT T levels were 200 or so. With TRT my T levels are 450. Recently for...
