If you are planning on having kids, you should stick with the HCG (or HCG along with test as many of the board members use currently).

There are no long term studies using HCG mono-therapy for TRT so who knows how your body will react to it over time. There are some studies that show high level HCG usage can potentially desensitize your testies to HCG. 500iu x3 a week is much lower than used in those studies.

Currently I use 100mg test cyp a week with 250 iu HCG 2x a week. I am making great strength gains in the gym and blew away my old bench max at the ripe old age of 41. I prefer test cyp over HCG mono because you know it works. Once you get a baseline, you know exactly how much is needed to maintain certain levels.

Also below is one of the reasons why Crisler says he prefers test over hcg mono. His patients using test have better subjective feelings using test over hcg mono.
Thank you for your input.

Any reason you did go off HCG mono? Sounds like it was very successful for you. I`ve read about guys who function great on it and one guy I spoke to actually prefers it over TRT, shotting 750 IU twice per week.

I don`t plan on having kids in the immediate future, but I certainly do not want to close that door as I probably will one day. Using HCG should keep me fertile, right?
