Help me out with this a little more Vet. I take HCG in small doses three times per week to keep the testes working and prevent Lyedig cell death. But, what about keeping the rest of the HPTA working (the Hypothalamus and Pituitary)? Won't coming off at least make sure that part of the HPTA does not permanently shut down? I think that is what some doctors are trying to prevent by occasional off periods.
And by they way, you never really crash because you are taking HCG during the first part of the off period along with clomid/nolvadex the whole time, about the time your body would start to crash you go back on cycle. Supposedly it's just long enough to get everything back up to speed.
But then you are not off, you are simply on a different set of drugs. Cycling between T and HCG and Clomid, is an effective way to maintain T levels and maintain HPTA, but that's not remotely the same as simply going off. Personally, if one is HRT they are on for for a reason, which means their HPTA was not up to the task in the first place for what ever reason, so simply deal with the fact you are on HRT for life and move on. Yes, HCG will help keep them nads larger, and if that's a big deal to some, then by all means work with doc on the HCG and Clomid/Nolv cycles.
