How long for sperm production to return after starting HCG?

New here

Just joined the forum. I was looking for something gear more towards trt than bodybuilding, and it looks like this might fit the bill. I'm 26 and am on trt, but I'm still fairly new to trt so I'm hoping to get the help I'm looking for.
