Yes, subjective is how it feels overall, in contrast to something objective, like the level of luteinizing hormone. Subjectively, ordering from worst to best:

• hypogonadism

• TRT

• TRT + hCG

• TRT + enclomiphene + GnRH + etc. (protocol development discussed here, current version here)

Of course different guys might order the list differently. For me, TRT versus hypogonadism is like two steps forward and then one step backward due to HTPA shutdown. Similarly, the benefits of adding hCG to TRT are somewhat offset by the subsequent problems with estradiol and prolactin.
