[QUOTE="Cataceous, post: 220591, member: 38109"] You may be interested in a treatment variation. One of the long-time members at PeakTestosterone.com has primary hypogonadism and is able to tune his TRT dose such that his LH is normal. This eliminates the need for hCG. It also means your HPTA becomes mostly functional, and testosterone levels are closer to what your body would produce with fully functioning testicles. I doubt it would work with weekly injections, however. With these, peak testosterone can be two to three times higher than trough levels. More frequent and smaller injections would smooth things out, knocking down the large peaks that would otherwise continue to suppress the HPTA. Natural daily testosterone production runs about 3-9 mg. You are currently averaging 16 mg per day. For this to work you would likely need to cut your dose by at least half. It will also take some time to restart LH production, perhaps a month or two. In a couple of posts I speculate about some possible issues with leaving the HPTA suppressed: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.excelmale.com/forum/threads/is-gnrh-suppression-hurting-us.20407/[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.excelmale.com/forum/threads/kisspeptin-suppression-under-trt-can-it-affect-mood-and-libido.21374/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
