[QUOTE="FunkOdyssey, post: 230448, member: 44064"] It suppresses the hypothalamus (GnRH) and pituitary (LH, FSH) components of the HPTA axis. The only part that isn't suppressed is the testicles, which are being stimulated to produce testosterone by hCG, hopefully above your baseline depending on hCG dose. The hypothalamus and pituitary glands don't atrophy when they are suppressed because they have plenty of other things to do besides secrete GnRH, LH and FSH. This makes hCG less disruptive and easier to recover from than exogenous testosterone, where the testicles atrophy and their capacity to produce hormones has actually been diminished. I'll let others speak to this part of your question. I've heard mixed reports on whether there is a drop in HPTA activity afterwards and how long or significant it would be. [/QUOTE]
