HCG

“by taking a very low dose of HCG to help boost my production. I did that for about 10 weeks and then I stopped. I cleaned up my diet a bit more and then I started to cut out alcohol as well.”

“exogenous hormones whatsoever. And I got to a certain point and felt great, but then I wanted to experiment. So I started with what is for me a true micro dose, plus taking HCG to maintain fertility. And it's been great. And I haven't had to increase that dose much. I've played around with it a little bit, but I've found that lower is better for me.”

“I guess not even like, like HCG. Yep. So now you're promoting natural production of your testosterone. Same thing would be true with Clomid. Right. But it's, well, you're still raising it by taking this thing, but just because you went through three of those.”

“You should bank his sperm. You should give him the appropriate discussion, give him some HCG, but you wouldn't want to withhold a medical treatment. I just think it's a mistake. And if we don't destigmatize the idea that somehow testosterone is going to ruin the world and make it wrapped up in”

“And then the hormones get thrown off because this inflammation affects the hypothalamic pituitary axis. So men in their 20s come in with low testosterone and they're coming in on beta HCG shots and creams. And I'm thinking, hold on, nobody figured out why a 25 year old male has low testosterone.”

Our IdentificationSaid as “Beta HCG Shots”. We believe this refers to HCG.

“And the two most common ways to do that are giving HCG, which is giving effectively luteinizing hormone, telling the body to make testosterone. And then the other would be using drugs like clomid or clomiphene or enclomiphene,”

“it will negatively impact your sperm count. It will negatively impact your sperm count. It can be partially to completely offset by taking HCG, which is typically taken, you know, something like 500 IUs three times a week. Some people will do higher doses, et cetera, alongside the testosterone therapy.”

“And whether you can bring that sperm count back up with HCG and other therapies later on, usually the answer is yes, but sometimes the answer is no. So you want to be very careful, very, very careful about using exogenous testosterone.”

“responding. Like at that point, it's kind of like, okay, you're, we could try hammering you with some HCG and see if we can stimulate a satisfactory response with like a manual, like extra push at the lighting cell. Um, or use some, you know, some of these other like augmenting, you know, steroidogenic supporting things like Tongkat or whatever.”

“Um, and those individuals like it's app, it's kind of like if you've exhausted all resources, you've tried the whole manual stimulation directly cuz HCG is the way you would actually test that out is you would actually look at, okay, if we actually hit your lighting cells directly with a signal and we escalate that to like the maximum degree and we use FSH two exogenous.”

“Like the guy, like what else could you do when you're him? Right. He's I think 50 years old. So what he did was he used HCG, which was assessing, okay, like are the testes responding to like a manual signal and they were, and he's like replaced his hormones entirely by using a manual LH mimic, essentially why his pituitary wasn't shooting out enough LH to hit.”

“But I also would like do some due diligence to just like assess like what's happening. And I think HCG for people who are like secondary hypogonadal is sometimes a good middle ground of assessing. Like, is this a testicle functionality problem?”

“so you have to account for that differential too some people get highly estrogenic from hcg in particular which is like a female like literally in pregnant women's urine to stimulate lytic cells that's what it's like purified from um and you know there's some speculation as to if”

“notable effects on like i don't know epigenetic modifications from hcg plus fsh mediated babies like not that i'm aware of not that i've seen any literature point to but it's worth noting”

“recombinant fsh is insane and hcg in itself is expensive and then you're stacking that on top of your testosterone that you're using it's not necessarily an affordable thing for everyone so a lot of guys just let their testes atrophy because that's what they can afford to do and they want to still get”

“now you just have like these shriveled you know like raisins that you have to like re-stimulate the baseline through like insane aggressive dosages of hcg and fsh like not cool at what point does that atrophy start to recur i mean like how long do you have to be on you know trt before that really starts to happen um it's pretty”
