Guest guest Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 When your on TRT your HPTA gets shut down so what this means is your Pituitary slows down sending the LH message to your body and your testis. So your Lh cells are not being told to work and you have some in your brain. Taking HCG acts like LH and tell the cells to work. Plus if your T levels were 200 the HCG will make your Testis make that much T. Co-Moderator Phil > From: cvictorg <cvgrashow@...> > Subject: If you have primary why would you take hcg?

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Here is a copy of a post to me from Dr. to help me get my Dr. to let me try HCG. At the time Dr.'s told me I was Primary. Trying the HCG my labs doubled after 15 shots of HCG telling me and my Dr. I am not Primary I am Secondary. ==================================================== He probably feels that since you suffer primary hypogonadism (I am guessing) there is no use in adding HCG to your protocol. There are several reasons why this is not so. First, you have not lost all Leydig cells, so any HCG you take will stimulate those who still function to produce endogenous testosterone. This will support testicular size. We should not ignore this aesthetic consideration. Next, if he reads my work, he will learn that HPTA-suppressed (as all TRT patients are to some extent) also suffer decreased pregenenolone levels, which is the first step after CHOL in all three hormonal pathways which begin with CHOL. HCG increases pregnenolone production, and therefore restores a more natural balance of our hormones. Next, nearly all TRT patients who add in HCG to their regimens report an increased sense of well-being and also libido. These are genuine quality of life issues. Finally, I just instinctively do not want all those LH receptors (including those we have yet to discover and appreciate) unstimulated. --------------------------------------------------- This link supports what Dr. feels about the use of HCG. http://jcem.endojournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/90/5/2595 Co-Moderator Phil > From: uu1845@... <uu1845@...> > Subject: RE: If you have primary why would you take hcg?

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 This is what I have to say about this if your looking for studies to back up the use of HCG in men with low T forget it. First everything out there is about the use of HCG for DIET and there ads. What we have learned about TRT is way a head of even what is in the AACE Guidelines. Dr.'s like Shippen and Dr. two of the best there is are the cutting edge for TRT and far ahead of any studies you will find. They treat thousands of men. Men that are doing good on TRT read Dr. Shippens book " The Testosterone Syndrome " and Dr. 's papers at this site www.allthingsmale.com. TRT: A Recipe for Success and his HCG update. And the new book out by Vergel called " Testosterone: A Man's Guide " . Even E. Barry Gordon, MD at http://www.thehiddendisease.com/ is cutting edge but I don't think he is yet up on high Estradiol. Dr. Karlis Ullis is a top Dr. also so you see reading old dated studies is not keep you up to date. Even the new updated Endo- Soc. Guildelines is not very good. http://www.endo-society.org/guidelines/final/upload/FINAL-Androgens-in-Men-Stand\ alone.pdf Co-Moderator Phil > From: cvictorg <cvgrashow@...> > Subject: Re: If you have primary why would you take hcg?

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Phil, thank you but I am not reading anyone about this specific thing.all I have is hope. That's it. Maybe something will work or not. Right now reading stuff about why things is harder for me on TRT makes me depressed.
