[QUOTE="Gene Devine, post: 9866, member: 4"] A few things: 1. Low DHEA-S levels do not contribute to Secondary Hypogonadism. Unfortunately you were ill advised which led to you living with low Testosterone serum levels longer then you should have. 2. HCG mono-therapy rarely raises Testosterone serum levels to optimal levels in most, not all, men. If it did, most of us would be on HCG mono-therapy and not TRT and that is not the case. 3. You appear, by your blood work, to be age related androgen deficient and the only real cure for that is TRT. LH is not optimal (why your Doc prescribed HCG) and your testes most likely are just slowing down in producing endogenous testosterone...sucks, but that's part and parcel to aging. You are feeling better with HCG because it acts on the peripheral area of the brain responsible for having a better sense of well being and increased libido so it's probably not a placebo effect. Stay the course on HCG and get tested in 6 weeks and see where your Testosterone serum levels are. IF they are not in the optimal range than you will know that HCG is not working to the desired effect and Testosterone replacement my be your only course of corrective action. [/QUOTE]
