Does HCG stop working due to desensitization?

I have been using 250iu 2x/week for 5 years. This same dose has kept my balls just as inflated today as they were when I first started using it. So I am not getting any desensitization. I don't have labs to confirm this though. I have always used HCG w/ testosterone, so there is no way to tell on a lab value.
What is your testosterone dosage? TY
 
Total test would go up. It would increase around 600 points for every 1000iu’s of pregnyl I would use. DHEA-S levels would jump up a bunch. Progesterone level would jump up a bunch. Objective benefits were that my testicles would noticeably increase in size, my penis would hang better while flaccid, and ejaculate volume would increase. Subjective benefits were that orgasms were more intense (probably due to the increase in ejaculate volume) and libido would increase and penis sensitivity would increase. I notice non of these now while taking compounded HCG. Not even one. No lab differences, and no subjective or objective benefits. Not sure why. Haven’t tried Pregnyl in a while, but the last time I used it, it did nothing for me
Hi.
In this time, from 2021, did you use hcg again? If you did, did you have response this time?

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.
