[QUOTE="Vettester Chris, post: 72075, member: 696"] Curious, what was your total testosterone serum? Your LH is 23, which is obviously high, and with low testosterone it would be an accurate assessment for a 'Primary' diagnosis. So, your testicles are not responding to your endogenous LH, so HCG isn't going to do you any better. As you probably know, HCG is just an analog of LH. Here's my take ... If you need testosterone replacement therapy, then that's what you need, why speculate about coming off of it? You're 'Primary', so I'm sure your testicles won't be showing a significant amount of atrophy, unlike you would if your diagnosis was secondary hypo. So, yes, if you come off of it in 5 years, you will probably feel worse 1) Simply because you've been feeling the optimal benefits of TRT for 5 years. 2) Your HPTA will be suppressed completely, so there won't be any natural production to speak of, which at this point you have some, although currently it is sub-adequate.
