I don't know about that. Most anti aging Docs are treating men who have "LOW" age related levels of androgenic production...not optimal. They exhibit symptoms of low testosterone but are not 100%, or in some cases 75% or even less, shut down. In all of these cases the men's testes are...

He's confusing the pharmacological use of Clomid with HCG. You need Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) for the long haul; Clomid is not co-administered with Testosterone for long durations. Split your injections twice a week as 200 mg is a lot on a Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)...

^^^^Above.

Can you edit this post and add lab ranges for each assay. All labs are different as are ranges. Ty. gd

Hate to say it, but the atrophy can get to the point where the testes will never return to function. Not saying all men, but it's a possibility. The first thing to be concerned about is the scaring of the tissues that once it reaches a certain point where function can't be reversed. In fact...

OP - How old are you?

I guess my response was a little misguided; it's not quite what I meant. What I should have said, and to keep it simple, it that the pharmacokinetics of Testosterone are vastly different than a PDE5i...that's all. BTW, the research is good, but there are many others out there on PubMed that...

Frank: Why we need hCG: 1. To produce Pregnenolone; hCG activates the p450 side chain cleavage (p450scc) enzyme which converts cholesterol to Pregnenolone!!! 2. To produce the precursors for DHEA, Estrogen, Cortisol, Testosterone and DHT...back filling the pathways (See #1 above) 3. For proper...

Do you know what you're E2 baseline levels are now before starting your protocol? Many men need an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) at 150 mg a week so be prepared. A "cycle" is not testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). If you go to 400-500 mg a week I am willing to bet a night out at the Cheetah...

Your $0.02 is right on! Also, there are many who believe that Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG), an LH analog, acts like a sex hormone and has numerous Neuro effects. Many men, myself included, felt a great sense of well being and increase in libido when HCG was added to my protocol. I...

The Preg labs that are out there are wildly inaccurate that's why most AA Doc's don't order. Preg is found mostly in tissue not is serum is the biggest reason why. DHEA-S is a better lab to measure as it's converted from Pregnenolone. HCG without question acts on the brain. It's why many...

One also needs to consider that we have LH receptors throughout our bodies not just on the receptors on the Leydig cells, including our brain, they are there for a reason. Without LH and/or Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) what's not happening...?

Lh, or its active analog agent Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG), activates the p450scc enzyme which is principally responsible for converting Cholesterol (CHOL) into Pregnenolone. When we suppress HTPA via exogenous Testosterone LH production is seriously compromised. This is what many...

Common sense; with the use of exogenous testosterone we in effect are causing a self induced organ shutdown, namely the testes. The testes do a lot more that just produce sperm. More important, with HPTA suppression we are shutting down the entire hormonal cascade. HCG, as an LH analog, does...

I will reach out to you very soon. Working with Nelson Vergel on a major internet project that will be significant for men's health on many fronts. gd
