[QUOTE="Cataceous, post: 208031, member: 38109"] There's a chance that given a longer period you might have more testicular recovery. Still, I wouldn't give it great odds. If you're not going to worry about that then I have a suggestion based on results from someone over at PeakTestosterone.com. He has primary hypogonadism, and if your numbers hold then you might as well have it too. The interesting thing about these situations is that even with TRT you may be able to retain normal production of the gonadotropins, LH and FSH, along with the further upstream hormones, provided you carefully tune your dose of testosterone. The main thing is to start with an exceptionally low dose of testosterone and work up slowly until the gonadotropins drop to midrange. Then give it some significant time to see how it feels. If the results are unsatisfactory then you can always raise the dose later. I think this is worth trying because there may be benefits in having physiological levels of the upstream hormones, versus completely shutting them down with conventional TRT. In addition, by making your own LH you don't need to give hCG a second thought, as hCG is simply an imperfect substitute for missing natural LH. [/QUOTE]
