"Yes" to which post are you referring to?
I can tell he is worried about the health risks of testosterone therapy.

It's my understanding that scripts are really declining in low-normal T guys. Unless you have levels way below 300 a lot of docs are taking a second look at prescribing TRT.
It's really unfortunate cause the stuff does work and help many people. Androgel sales have gone down 30% in the last year.

Yes, i have been on it for 7 months.
Test levels are good. The only downfall is having to inject EOD.
Goodluck

Depends what your LH / FSH was...
Even then you won't know if it works till you try it.
How long have you been on TRT ?
Have you used HCG while on TRT ?

I would argue that HCG monotherapy would be problematic due to a couple issues. One being the increase in prolactin and the other being the increase of aromatization within the leydig cells of the testicles. Also, many people find that desensitization occurs over time when using too much hcg or too often. Some of these sides may be controllable by using other preventative measures such as anti-aromatase medication. Everyone's body is different and he could very well have solid parameters for everything else, but it's important to consider HRT as a holistic approach to optimizing all hormone levels, not just raising T to "normal" levels.

Christ, two flawed studies indicating blood clots and stroke/death, and the sky is falling.
Sorry OP, I have not done HCG mono - but I'm primary, and it wouldn't do much for me. Hope it works for you, and I totally worry for those guys that have healthy nuts; they're going to get clots and have a stroke because of that nasty testosterone.

One regarding clots (FDA is issuing a warning), the other for stroke/heart problems/death. Pseudo-science at its finest.

Here's an article about the latest study, which disproves the flawed study(s) you are referring to.
Latest Study Finds No Link Between Testosterone Supplements, Heart Attack ? WebMD
As it says in the link, the study shows no link between testosterone and heart attacks. Unfortunately, I bet it won't make the headlines, because it's not scary, bad news.
