Hi, im 24 and was type 2 hypogonadal. Had a inexperienced Dr, currently in South America so low on options. Got told I would be infertile if I continued on trt 125mg / week. The testicular atrophy has started to worry me due to one Dr.'s comments on my risk on fertility. Further listening to his points came to the conclusion he was full of S.... but regardless looked for some Hcg to attempt to recover testicle size. Been 2 weeks on 400-500UI twice a week haven't noticed any real testicle size changes, have increased libido and other testosterone correlated effects. Wondering if their is any actual risk to being able to regain my testicular size, they are smaller for sure oddly one more than the other. I started treatment on february so currently on 4-5 month in, was planning to come off end of year until everything goes back to my old normal and if everything goes smoothly planning on going back on Trt. Any comments or questions please feel more than welcome to send.
