Length of Testosterone increase with HCG

Hello, guys. Quick question. How long does HCG boost testosterone before levels return to base line? I.E. If I inject 200mg of test on Monday with 500ui of hcg, when will the boost of test I see on a blood test just be from the testosterone its self, and not hcg? I've read a study on rats that said 2 days, but I wonder what that looks like on humans.
 
If you're primary HCG to produce endo T is going to be pretty miniscule nothing that will make a difference. If you're secondary Hypo...may get some Endo T, you'd really have to get on a circuit of trial and testing to figure that one out.
Too if you could generate any meaningful Endo T through HCG use you wouldn't need to be on TCyp....right? (rhetorical)
 
500iu hcg compared to 200mg testo... pretty much 90% of testo will be from t.. hcg dose for natural T needs to be way higher if we are talking hcg monotherapy

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.
