Just an update. In going back to my Endo next week to be shown how to use the HCG shot.

It's now 14 weeks since my last nebido shot (was getting a shot every ten weeks previously) and I feel like total crap now. I've no energy, very irritable and feeling pretty depressed about everything. I don't want to keep feeling like this.

When I start taking the HCG I presume it will take a while to kick start my own testosterone production, especially as I'm on trt 13 years? I really want him to prescribe me more nebido to take along with the HCG so I feel normal for the next few months but he was adamant the HCG would be enough testosterone for me. Is anyone aware of any studies which say you should take testosterone along with HCG when trying for children that I can show him? Or any other tips on how I can convince him test+HCG is the protocol he should put me on?
