HCG used along with Testosterone

My Doctor has me started on the 200 mg of Cypionate every 2 weeks. Would it be smart to use HCG along with Testosterone?? Would it help increase the your testosterone levels or help maintain good testosterone levels??

Is it a good idea to replace a 2 week injection of Testosterone every several weeks with HCG? I heard by doing this your body would respond to the Testosterone better?
 
It is not a good idea - TRT is full time, for life - not something you cycle on and off. That and one should be injecting twice a week, not once every two weeks.
 
Any Physician who tells you it's a good idea to take a break from Testosterone Replacement, even for a short period, and for any reason...doesn't know TRT for men.

Bad idea!

ALong with the replies from Vince and Gene I will add that if you're primary Hypo, problem being the testes, HCG isn't going to do much for you in regard to Endo Test production.

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.
