[QUOTE="Drug350, post: 248531, member: 44769"] I'm not trying HCG for the fertility aspects, though that's fine if it does help. I've read, and watched videos from TRT doctors, whereby many have found a small percentage of men on TRT (lkke 5% - 10%) required HCG and that little "kick" it gives to your own testosterone production and reproductive system in order to reap the benefits of TRT. In other words, on TRT only, these men still had issues with libido, ED, etc... and when they added HCG, the TRT benefits were then only fully realized. I'm not sure if I'm in that small percentage, but I want to find out. I've been on TRT since the 3rd week of November 2022. The first 3 weeks on TRT were nothing short of spectacular.
