HCG Suppressing HPTA

[Stretch22]

These aren’t my bloods (someone else’s) but I wanted to share cause I thought it was great to see. We always say HCG is suppressive. This person is on HCG monotherapy. As you can see it clearly is suppressive. How suppressive, and how quick a bounce back would be is interesting to think about. But either way, those LH/FSH are basically TRT levels how suppressed they are. Worth noting labs prior to treatment show excellent LH/FSH

His body seems to be producing own wonder if they did clomid nolva after taking him off how the number would

thank you for posting. Been saying this for awhile. We’ve got to stop using this as pct. It’s totally ass backwards.

I think the thought process is it jump starts the testes to produce so then when the lh and fsu come
Back it’s a better transition.

But that’s not how negative feedback loops work.

my doc has me one HCG as a replacement for clomid.
It really seemed to be the missing piece getting my test levels up around 1,100.
Wanting to have another kiddo possibly in the next year or so.
Should I talk to her about discontinuing HcG use???

HCG is great for fertility. I will continue to use it in short bursts and pre-PCT as well. It’s a great compound it does its job and I jumpstarts the balls I’ve had great success with it. I just wanted I show this because some people use it long term in conjunction with PCT which it is clearly suppressive. But it has its place. I’ll plan to use it on-cycle to keep the boys working, or blast a bunch the last few weeks of cycle, then have a good window of nothing prior to PCT.

I think I would talk to the doc. Maybe get fertility testing if you’re having a problem. I have no idea how HCG effect sperm motility and counts.

Yea good call. Looking back on my comment “HCG is great for fertility”. I actually have no fuckin idea lol. I just have heard many places prescribing it for that.

I know it’s a good thing for women with fertility struggles. But no idea what it does for men.
