If I'm not going to have any more children Is HCG still a good idea?

[novaman]

I'm still trying to make a decision about TRT. If I want to leave open the option of going off TRT in the future would HCG use while on TRT be a good idea? Or would it not make much of a difference?

Definitely. Not to mention the other benefits it offers - backfilling other hormonal pathways like DHEA, Pregnenolone, etc. and a better sense of well-being. Remember your body is designed to have a signal sent to the testes to produce sperm, using HCG helps mimic the bodies natural stasis and hence the better well-being.

Another benefit is that your testicles won't atrophy.

The downsides are: more injections, more cost and it makes managing estradiol more difficult.

Started on Testim gel yesterday. Balls ache a bit. I'm a bit worried about shutting down the balls. If I don't take HCG right now am I running the risk of a permanent shutdown?
