How much does HcG raise Test while on trt?

[Romac]

I am curious as to how much people have seen their Testosterone rise after adding HcG to a stable TRT protocol. Anyone have any results or studies regarding this? Thanks.

It probably isn't spelled out in exactly the way you were hoping for, but there's some pretty good information in here:

Indications for the use of human chorionic gonadotropic hormone for the management of infertility in hypogonadal men

Hypogonadism among men desiring fertility preservation presents a unique challenge to physicians. Over the past decade the number of younger men with hypogonadism has increased dramatically. These men are often treated with testosterone replacement therapy ...

Thanks for that! A lot to read, but I did find a summary of that study that mentioned the results in a percentage of ITT. Like " 250 IU SC every other day along with TRT their intratesticular testosterone levels only dropped 7%." The hard part is figuring out what effect that has on total or free T. I saw something somewhere that mentioned an ITT of 1130ish in guys with a total T much lower...like 500ish if I remember correctly. Makes sense that T would be higher when measured in the T factory.

Any time, brother!

I'm kind of wondering if my HcG jacks my T up too high if my doc will lower my T. I don't want that to happen, so I might skip a week of HcG before drawing blood for labs.

a good rule of thumb is to come off ANYTHING hormonal that might interfere with blood results at least a week before blood draw.

Early into TRT it raised my levels about 400ng/dL but now I get 200ng/dL. I think it has more to due with the quality of the hCG I had later into therapy.

Wowzers! That's a lot higher than I was thinking it would elevate T. I'll make sure to skip a whole week before bloods. I'm new to this clinic, so I don't know how they'll react to numbers. I hope they go by how I feel rather than keeping me in a range. Saw a 58 year old guy who's T is 2600 and his clinic is fine with that.

Thanks!
