No harm in waiting for a few months before adding hCG.

Keep in mind that whether one achieves a bump in T let alone estradiol when using hCG comes down to the dose used.

Would be more sensible to start on a T only protocol to see how your body reacts to testosterone and where such protocol (dose T/injection frequency) has your TT/FT/e2 levels (tested at the true trough) as the goal is to find a protocol (dose of T/injection frequency) which will result in achieving a healthy FT level in order to provide relief/improvement of low-t symptoms and increased overall well-being while minimizing/avoiding any potential side-effects and keeping blood markers healthy long-term.

In many ways, the addition of hCG to a standard T only protocol would provide numerous beneficial effects as not only does it mimic LH which will stimulate the Leydig cells in the testes to produce ITT (intra-testicular testosterone) which will not only minimize/prevent testicular atrophy/reduced ejaculate volume but also maintain fertility let alone maintain upstream hormones which may very well have a significant impact on long-term health and wellbeing.
