[QUOTE="SMOS44, post: 244203, member: 44788"] I am 36 with total T ranging from 350-400 ng/DL over several tests in the past twelve months. Other relative datapoints: SHBG is low (16.6, reference range: 16.5-55.9), LH at a decent level (6.8, reference range: 1.7-8.6). I told the doctor that I wanted to try Natesto/Troches, but he recommended against Natesto (he finds patients don't do well with the application) and instead wanted to try HCG monotherapy. He suspected that because I had low SHBG and decent LH levels I might produce a solid amount of T in a day, but that it is metabolized quickly. I guess HCG Monotherapy will allow us to see what is left in the tank for my testicles and also might raise my SHBG? This doctor is young (recently educated) and specializes in this field and appears to be very well-regarded and knowledgeable. I understand that HCG will disrupt my HPTA. He was very confident that my HPTA would kick back up in less than a week if I decide to stop HCG. Are there any examples where someone around my age didn't FULLY recover their HPTA following HCG Monotherapy? I don't want to recover 70% (for example) and have suboptimal LH/FSH/GNRH/Kisspeptin production after this 6-8 week experiment. Interestingly: he also sent over a script for Tlando so that I could see how higher T temporarily felt. The idea is that it might help me identify symptoms or better feel what is optimal. I am to try that after getting blood work on HCG monotherapy. Just a side note. [/QUOTE]
