Guest guest Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 For me it's about my being Hypopituitary my brain dose not tell my Testis to make T so adding the HCG they make most of the T in my labs levels. Here is what Dr. told me to help me get my Dr. to give me HCG after you read this you tell me what you think. My adding HCG I feel better now I am on HGH and even feel better yet. =========================================================================== 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.

Firts most Drs. won't prescribe it and most insurance won't pay for it. Combine that with shortages my question is this. For those of us that have used HCG, big picture - is it worth it? > > And if it is, what about it makes it worth while (increase in testicle size, increase in libido.......) For me, the hassle was not worth it. It drove my E2 up with little in the way of testicle changes. Hi, I feel it's worth it. it's relatively cheap and readily available (alldaychemist.com is still the best source I've found). I don't let US diet fads interfere with me. libido is up. testicle size is up. I stay more " level " since it gives me a little boost at the end of the shot week. I must say I'm not 100% on doing it EVERY week... like when I go on vacation I'll take the test with me (no refrigeration) but not the hcg.
