The goal is two-fold. (1) it prevents testicular atrophy. not a medical problem, but for some it's an aesthetic thing. (2) it evens out your test levels. As the test levels in your blood are fading at the end of the week, the HCG gives your levels a slight boost, so that you feel more even when pinning 1x/week. I suppose if you cut your dose into two equal amounts and pin 2x/week, you would have less need of it.

Another thing that I think you should consider is whether the HCG will help you recover what little natural production you had before HRT in the event you ever need to get off the HRT. The HCG looks like LH to the body and signals to the testes to keep producing "naturally." If you ever need to come off the test, at least your testes have been working over the years, and this may aid in getting whatever natural production you still have on line.

check out www.allthingsmale.com. In the papers section, it discusses an HCG protocol.
I have some Q's regarding this as well. I have been on HRT for 4 years now, between 200-400 mg Cyp 1x a week(mostly) along with 100-200 mg Deca weekly and B12. I completely stopped all HRT for 6 weeks(to see where I could be naturally) Blood work after 6 weeks resulted in Test and Free Test have crashed and are way below the low range. I was told that our system shold have leveled off after 4 weeks to normal levels, well if that the case, then my normal is far too low. I have since started HCG, 500 iu(.5 cc) every 3rd day for 5 weeks now. Have not had a blood test yet but will be soon to see if test has increased. I guess my Q is this. I plan on going back to HRT, 300 mg Cyp and 100 mg Deca weekly. I understand that once you are on long term HRT, you completely stop producing test naturally and your nuts atrophy(mine have come back some since HCG). How the the HCG DURING HRT keep our test producing if we are shut down from the long term HRT? ANd how often should we implement HCG while on long term HRT? Sorry so long.
