considering HCG monotherapy

Hi all,
This will by my third, and probably last post about HCG. I have developed a pretty thorough understanding of it at this point. Long story short, I was considering TRT+HCG+FSH to preserve fertility, as fertility is very important to me. Even if I don’t plan on having kids I’d just like to know that I’m not infertile. I decided against that, mainly due to the cost of FSH, and also because I’ve seen stories of people who have used HCG on cycle and still suffered atrophy and infertility. I read a post here where Nelson said that HCG lowers both endogenous FSH along with LH. Because my FSH would be lowered, which I believe is the primary contributor to functioning Sertoli cells, would I expect a decrease in sperm count? If so, would I become completely azoospermatic after a certain amount of time?
All replies are welcome

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
