[QUOTE="jimithing, post: 4168, member: 641"] [COLOR=#333333]Thanks for the replies guys. I haven't spent much time on the site yet but I was surpised to see all the info on Hcg as being injectable. I'll definitely ask my doc about that. Is there really no research to say that sublingual Hcg is not effective? Does it just not absorb? My other question was about fertility. It seems that what i've read or googled online says that taking hcg along with T you can maintain fertility. True? Gene the hydrocortisone was for adrenal fatigue. My cortisol was essentially flatlined. Can you expand on why you don't agree with that. I think that is the one thing we did right in this whole thing and the cortisol has responded nicely with the hydrocortisone. I'll post all my labs and ranges too.
