[QUOTE="Gene Devine, post: 4142, member: 4"] It looks like your Doctor sort of knows what he doing but he's off the mark in my opinion. Let me start off with this first; HCG can be administered one way and one way only and that is through subcutaneous injection. The molecular structure of HCG is such that it can not enter the blood stream via sublingual or transdermal application. You can trust me on that or do your own research and you will come to the same conclusion. Again, in my opinion, I don't think you need hydrocortisone based on your cortisol levels and your symptoms and labs pointing to hypogonadism. You said that your labs were all within normal range but we know that "normal" range is not "optimal" range so you can be very symptomatic and still present with "normal" labs. I would like to see your most recent blood work complete with ranges. As you can see, the HCG is not working for you to increase endogenous testosterone because of the oral administration. You should know that even if you injected the HCG, which is the only efficacious method, as a mono therapy is rarely effective in increasing natural production. Ruling out all other potential pathologies for your condition I think your best course of action is option #4 outlined above except that you need to inject the HCG and not take it orally. You also need to monitor Estrogen as well, both before your TRT protocol to get a base line and 6 weeks after you start your testosterone supplementation. I would encourage you to read all the stickies in the Testosterone forum and educate yourself on hormone replacement for men...it's a game changer when executed correctly. [/QUOTE]
