[QUOTE="Simon7, post: 131717, member: 14795"] Dear Dr. Saya, I have secondary Hypogonadism and I've been on TRT for the past three years. My hope is that HcG can cause my testicles to manufacture more Testosterone on their own, so that I can rely less on exogenous T. Prior to reading your study above I was on a protocol for about a year that comprised of BIW 55mg Testosterone Enathate injections and daily HcG injections. Per Dr. Crisler's advice I began with HcG dosage of 50IU daily and slowly worked my way up to 250-300IU daily -however that had only marginal effect on my T levels. Last March after reading your HcG study I changed my HcG protocol to injecting 600IU three times a week without modifying the T injections. On my next blood test four months later my Total T jumped from 570 ng/dl to 790 ng/dl - increase of 40%. Success! I reduced my exogenous T Enathate from 55mg twice a week to 45mg twice a week. A month and a half later my Total T blood work was still at 790 ng/dl. Continued success! I continued for three more months at the same protocol, however now my Total T dropped to 534 ng/dl!!! [insert puzzled face] I'll note that during the past year my SHBG was 16 and my E2 is on the high end of normal, managed with low dose Anastrozole. It appears to me as if my LH receptors are down regulating due to receiving too much HcG over time. I am thinking of ceasing HcG treatment for a week and resuming with 500IU twice a week and seeing how that goes. What is your take on the reason for the increase and decrease of Total T as described above? What would you recommend that I do now? [/QUOTE]
