[QUOTE="Kirk001, post: 114809, member: 18401"] Welcome. I don't know about attaching images for labs, I usually just type out the info rather than trying to use an image. So I think maybe you are confusing LH and FSH. The pituitary makes both and they go to the testicles. There the FSH stimulates Sertoli cells for sperm production and the LH stimulates Leydig cells for testosterone production. HCG is a mimic of LH. The Leydig cells in the testicles see the HCG and think it is LH, which tells them to produce testosterone. However if you are primary hypogonadal, which is a failure of the testicles, then neither HCG nor LH are going to result in much T production. But HCG should help prevent testicular atrophy, even in primary hypogonadal men, as far as I know. As far as decreasing your T dosage and your lab numbers staying the same or increasing, that is a story that many guys have told. Lots of guys have said that for instance if they switch from one injection of 100mg per week, to two injections of 50mg per week, their total testosterone numbers on labwork may increase. Even though the weekly dose remains the same. If you increase the frequency of injections you can often lower the total weekly dose. [/QUOTE]
