[QUOTE="StepbyStep, post: 159812, member: 17633"] My thoughts, If I were to go the HCG route to reverse testicular atrophy I would shoot for a short 4-8 week cycle of HCG at moderate dosages with labs after a few weeks to see how you're responding. Some guys can do pretty well at 500iu a few times a week, whereas other need 1000iu EOD to get anywhere. It took me 1000iu EOD to get to 600ng/dL. Keep in mind also that HCG will suppress your LH and FSH, so importantly FSH will drop to near 0. Your testicles have Leydig and Sertoli cells. Leydig cells are stimulated by LH(HCG will stimulate these too), and FSH will stimulate your Sertoli cells. When your testicles aren't getting FSH, your Sertoli cells will atrophy. This is why not all guys get back their full testicle volume on HCG. Worth a try though. I would also consider a Clomid restart. Clomid will max out your LH and FSH, which will in turn stimulate both your leydig and sertoli cells as much as possible, hopefully reversing any atrophy. Side effects can suck on clomid though.
