Lab results after HPTA restart attempt. Advise please...

Sometimes in situations like this, doing HCG mono therapy for 6 months and then trying a round of SERM's will do the trick and help you recover.

I've seen a huge wave of people trying to jump of trt lately. Wondering if it has anything to do with the media scare aka testosterone causes stroke/heart disease.

Alot of these guys are young as well who probably jumped the gun, and got on TRT like myself. Or their doctors never found a root cause of trt so they really didn't feel much better on it.

is this what you find effective with your restarts? Running hcg longer then most would to ensure the testes will even react to the SERM's?

Yes. Initially we try a period of 6-8 weeks for a restart. Then move on to SERM's (if lab work confirms). If the restart fails, which it does sometimes, then we recommend HCG mono therapy for 6-8 months.

We have seen this work.

Even though he's primary? He has an LH of 17...

Nothing but love for my IMT guys, but I think you missed that, or know something I wish I had known 5 years ago.

Well its possible that it is androgen induced primary hypogonadism and if this is the case it could be a simple matter of just needing more time to stimulate the testes.

In all honesty a thorough background would be the only to narrow down the best approach.

I personally would rather be on TRT But not everyone feels the same way. So if there is chance, some like to completely exhaust all options.

Thank you for all the information guys. Knowledge is power. I don't have the patience to run HCG for a longer restart. Being a life long TRT patient is fine with me. I'm back on 100mg 2x a week with 300 mcg HCG 2x a week. I am already feeling much better after 8 Days back on!

Halfwit, having my LH at 17 and my total T so low really disappointed me. I'm Not going to overthink this, rather I am going to go with "less is more" and let the lab results dictate any adjustments.

Again, thank to to everyone for your time and input. !!

I totally hear you. I went 10 YEARS hypogonadal, and seeing guys go through it really pains me. My LH wasn't as high as yours, but it definitely sent me on a crusade to find out WTF nuked my nuts! (2 years on pain meds from surgeries for the curious.)
