Yet it is a popular HRT protocol (1x250 mg test weekly, plus 2x 500 IU HCG the two days preceding the test injection). If it is so bad, why is a reputable HRT doc prescribing it? Actually I'm following this protocol myself for that exact reason: an actual HRT doc prescribes it. And of course this is to be used permanently, not just in cycles.
Not saying the medical establishment is infallible. But if I should take the internet's word over a doctor I need some background to research further.
I'm not avoiding test, have been pinning it for a few weeks now. But the 'why' escapes me, especially if HCG is added to restore normal HPTA function. To my mind normal function would have to mean normal (or close) test levels. I definitely notice it if I miss my HCG shots, so it does do something.
doctors know jack shit in this field, it is a joke actually. The reason they do this is because at 250mg per week you your hypothalamus is NOT completely shut down so they administer hcg to increase the LH in the pituitary gland, still a horrible idea.
500mg of tren on the other hand will completely shut you down, which mean the hypothalmus would not be producing anything at all, which means the production of LH is not just low but completely void, so in one direction you are shutting down the hypothalmus and in another direction you are producing LH by administrating HCG which could in fact cause you to completely crash the production of LH in the long run and yes for good causing you very low test levels for the rest of your life. I know an exaggerated claim here, but still there is a risk.
HCG is not even meant for this reason at all, it is produced by pregnant woman in the placenta for fertility reasons and just so happens it increases ovation and egg count so some clever guy decided to try the synthetic version to increase his egg count and found that the LH is produced resulting in the release of testosterone.
HCG is no joke, a very powerful hormone, it does not make sense to take other compounds, avoid test and take hcg, sorry but it doesn't and your doctor won't be doing that for long, I guarantee this will change in the future. HRT is relatively new to doctors so they are still finding out what is best and they to will soon find out that HCG SHOULD ONLY BE USED AS PCT
