[QUOTE="superone, post: 103687, member: 12662"] Hi everybody, I know there is a sticky regarding HCG and reversing testicular atrophy but my situation is a bit different. I have been on and off TRT for a few years due to financial reasons, hair loss from TRT, and the fact that I did not like the way I felt trying to use Finasteride while on TRT to stop the hair loss. I have used HCG on and off while on TRT at various dosages such as 250-500IU twice per week, as well as 250IU EOD. I have gone a good amount of time not on any HCG because I could not afford it all of the time. The TRT dose I felt the best on after lots of experimentation was 25mg Testosterone Acetate daily injected sub-q with 0.5mg Letrozole daily to control estrogen. I have tried Clomid a couple of times while off so I would not be suppressed but it game me emotional side effects at a time in my life that was pretty rough so I could not handle it and stopped after a few days. I have come to the conclusion that I feel, look and preform my best on TRT and even though it can be an inconvenience injecting or rubbing on testosterone cream everyday, the quality of life and the fact that as I get older the TRT will help maintain muscle, bone, strength, and all of the other health benefits TRT can provide to me is worth it. To be honest I started experimenting with TRT close to 30 years old not because I had sympoms of low T but because I wanted the extra edge to build muscle faster, recover faster, and help me with confidence, some anxiety and depression. I wanted to test it out. I did feel better mentally on TRT as well as physically and enjoyed having the edge especially since my job was very physical. I am 34 years old now and the highest I have ever gone was 250mg Testosterone per week. I have not tried any other steroids other than low dose Trestolone for TRT which was great but stopped because it was making me lose hair. My problem is that my balls have probably shrunk to 1/3rd the size they were originally. Off of TRT they are still a good amount smaller than normal but they get even smaller when on TRT. I am worried that they have shrunk permanently. I would like to stay on TRT AND get my balls back to original size. Is that possible and if so what would my HCG protocol look like? I came across a post on another forum where this guy on TRT had the same issue as me and his Endo gave him this protocol to follow which he said was working. Here is the protocol he was on while being on TRT at the same time. Clomiphene 10mg per day throughout. 20,000IU HCG on day one as a trigger shot then 10,000IU per day for 1 week. 4,000IU HCG everyday for week 2. 2,000IU HCG every day for week 3 1,000IU HCG everyday for week 4. On week 5 he was on 1,000IU HCG EOD and do not know how long he stayed on this dose but he said his testicles were measured before and after and they were almost back to original size. The problem is this much HCG would cost me over $1000 U.S. and that is getting it from a peptide store at a good price. I can get it locally in Canada for double the price. I also don't know if this much HCG would desensitize my leydig cells or not. I have also read that IGF-1 LR3 can help reverse testicular atrophy but it seems hard to find a legit source. Sorry for the long post and I would appreciate any help you guys could offer! Thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
