New to group Question on HCG after age 60

Ya same here. While on 1000iu’s of compounded HCG, my testicles are about as small as I would imagine they would be on no HCG at all. They’re very small. So I’m currently doing an experiment to see if HCG is doing anything for me in regards to testicular atrophy. I stopped HCG like a week ago, and am going to stay off of it for a bit and see if they get any smaller. If they do, I’ll at least know the HCG was doing a little something in that department. I’m also watching to see if my scrotum tightens up more off HCG.

My nuts and my sack basically cease to exist with no HCG.
 
Nut status. Mine are same as pre trt on 500iu 2x/wk, 350iu mwf, or 250iu mwf. Without any hcg they decrease in size maybe 50%.
 
I use pregnyl for the last year or so. Prior to that I was using a local compound hcg. I don’t notice any difference between the two. My balls are full and happy. I’m 57.

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.
