Do you think it's ok to discontinue HCG?

I've noticed that HCG is causing acne breakouts (even with use of adex) especially after I have mixed a new vial and the HCG is at its most potent. When I first started testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) I went months without HCG and never had testicular shrinkage or other problems. Do you think it's ok to discontinue the HCG?
 
Dude, I get nasty breaks on anything: Test, Winstrol (winny), or even supplements! I hate it, but its either that or weighting (for me) 140lbs. =(

So... I have bacne problems!
 
Sure it's always okay to discontinue it, though I'm not your doctor. HCG means higher test and estro which can potentially lead to more acne in some with that issue.

how significant is the test increase it provides when you are already on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT)? I actually don't plan on starting up my hcg along with my testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), one for the estrogen issues that I'm sensitive to, and two I don't have any fertility concerns personally.
 
It all depends on the integrity of your nuts. Some guys have exhausted or non working testicles. My levels hovered from 200 to 300 for years before getting on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), so I'm pretty sure I'm primary.

I'm primary as well. In which case it benefits you more or less?
 
I never had any shrinkage before HCG and am not going to have more kids, so neither of those issues concern me. I have heard that HCG helps produce leutanizing hormone and fsh and therefore keeps your overall hormone balance better, however I don't understand all this and that's why I wanted to get more opinions on if it is really necessary for longterm health.
 
Nothing bad happens from running an LH deficiency. From what I understand primary means your testicles are bad. Secondary I think would mean like your pituitary is not signaling or some other indirect problem is causing the testicles to not produce enough T. So HCG would work better on a secondary and may not do much at all to a primary...assuming you know for sure which one you are.

IMO, my sack and the way my balls slap together and on my inner thighs (i go commando) is very important to me. 250iu twice a week is worth a big set of nuts for my girl to fill her mouth with.
 
Chip,
I agree with the importance of a full sack and wouldn't jeopardize my ability to choke a chick when teabagging just to stop acne. But, if I try some time off from the HCG and my sack stays full is there any medical reason not to put the HCG on the shelf forever? By the way, NO MORE KIDS WANTED.

Honestly HCG has elevated my mood and made it alot better. I did not feel THIS great before HCG.

No kids = get clipped. I got a vasectomy and its great!

plus tha added benefit of added natty test that your nuts kick out. If lh/fsh drop to low it can lead to major depression. Just my findings though. Luck bro!

What would be the min. dose for hcg? Currently at 250iu/2xweek. Could that be dropped lower to try to get the benefits without the sides? Or maybe spread over 3xweek, or both?

you can even try 100iu 2x's a week. Again, i am noth the doctor, this is based on personal knowledge and experience.
 
As an update..no Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) for a week and a half now and acne is really clearing up fast. So far nuts are just as big and juicy, and everything else seems good. Decided to try for a few weeks and see how it goes and get a bloodtest to check levels too. Wish me luck, will keep you posted. BTW not advocating no Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) for others, since everyone has individual responses. It's best to find out what works and doesn't work for you.
