    Currently on TRT, hcg, fsh. Contemplating dropping test

    With that dosage, If HCG and FSH are not working then i dont think so clomid will be helpful. It takes time i guess. Also, u dont have to stop trt if ur taking hcg n fsh. Thats the whole purpose otherwise if ur stopping trt then u can just use clomid to increase ur natural lh n fsh production.

    What is going on? I stopped my TRT.

    I understand your viewpoint. Actually my testicles are working partially bcas i do have sub optimal testosterone levels. I mean, very low but normal, which means some portion of leydig cells and sertolli cells are still working. So i figured, increasing testicular testosterone through HCG...

    What is going on? I stopped my TRT.

    Yes thats a good news:) So, testosterone actually good for heart in a way. I heard it might reduce HDL cholestrol, although its very small amount so i guess not to worry too much about it i guess.

    Actually before starting TRT on feb 14th, i started HCG monotherapy for 1 month and it dint increase my testosterone at all. I was doing 1250iu twice a week. So i assumed it wont be that effective. I also left the doctor who tried this on me and i thought i will self medicate and since i dint...

    What is going on? I stopped my TRT.

    I am hoping both test n estrogen will come down after quitting TRT. I know understand why experts said start from low dosage. I never thought with just 150mg per week i would go to this level within 2 weeks. I also added 500iu HCG. Probably bcas of that i guess. I am lucky that it dint increase...
