Do you mean your Testicles are removed is so taking HCG will not do a lot for you like Matrix says if you try it and it makes you feel bad it's not worth it. I use HCG it keeps my Testis working as for Estradiol I have high levels on or off HCG and I feel better on HCG here is a cut and paste Dr. John sent me to help me get my Dr. to let me try HCG. When I went on it doing 500 IU's 3x's / week my Total T levels went from 600 to 1200 and I took this with my Depo T shots 150 mgs / week.
Doing this is how we figured out I am not Primary but I am Secondary it's called Hypopituitary.

He probably feels that since you suffer primary hypogonadism (I am guessing) there is no use in adding
HCG to your protocol. There are several reasons why this is not so. First, you have not lost all Leydig cells, so any
HCG you take will stimulate those who still function to produce endogenous testosterone.
This will support testicular size. We should not ignore this aesthetic consideration.
Next, if he reads my work, he will learn that HPTA-suppressed (as all TRT patients are to some extent) also suffer decreased pregenenolone levels, which is the first step after CHOL in all three hormonal pathways which begin with CHOL.
HCG increases pregnenolone production, and therefore restores a more natural balance of our hormones.
Next, nearly all TRT patients who add in
HCG to their regimens report an increased sense of well-being and also libido. These are genuine quality of life issues.
Finally, I just instinctively do not want all those LH receptors (including those we have yet to discover and appreciate) unstimulated.
Is HCG relevant if testicles are gone?
