[QUOTE="madman, post: 274063, member: 13851"] You are not understanding how this works. Pick a protocol (dose of T/injection frequency) and stick with it. We do not increase the dose 2 weeks in. The shutdown of the hpta is a given when using exogenous T. Nateso T gel is the only formulation that will cause the least suppression of the hpta due to the PK/dosing protocol. More sensible to start on a T-only protocol as we want to see how your body reacts to testosterone. Ancillaries such as hCG can eventually be added in if need be. Again the main reason for the addition of hCG is to preserve ITT (intra-testicular testosterone) which will help preserve/maintain fertility and minimize/prevent testicular atrophy. I understand you are eager and preserving/maintaining fertility is your goal so you want to throw it in off the hop. The downfall here is if you run into any issues you are not going to know if it is from the T or hCG let alone where such a dose of T is going to have your trough TT, FT, and estradiol as the addition of hCG can drive up T and E. As we always say on here start low and go slow on a T-only protocol. Much easier going up than coming down if need be. Patience is key! [/QUOTE]
