    This is from gdivine.
    Mono HCG therapy can and will work but it all depends if you are primary or secondary.
    If your LH is low causing your low test HCG can cause you to produce more natural test


    This may help you understand the difference between primary and secondary. If you're secondary then HCG should be of help assuming you are still producing albeit as lower volumes due to low LH and FSH. And welcome to the community you will find great guys here, lots of support and education

    Hypogonadism in a man refers to a decrease in one or both of the two major functions of the testes: sperm production and testosterone production. These abnormalities usually result from disease of the testes (primary hypogonadism) or disease of the pituitary or hypothalamus (secondary hypogonadism). In occasional cases, however, a defect in the ability to respond to testosterone is the cause of hypogonadism. (See "Diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the androgen receptor" and "Steroid 5-alpha-reductase 2 deficiency".)

    The distinction between primary and secondary hypogonadism is made by measurement of the serum concentrations of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH):

    •The patient has primary hypogonadism if the serum testosterone concentration and the sperm count are below normal and the serum LH and FSH concentrations are above normal.
    •The patient has secondary hypogonadism if the serum testosterone concentration and the sperm count are subnormal and the serum LH and FSH concentrations are normal or reduced.


    I'm still under the impression/understanding that this is ONLY if you are not introducing another form of test/tren/deca hormone into your body that will shut down your natural production. I dont think HCG will override your body being shut down, only boost it if its still producing.

    Yes, as I specified in the original post. It only applies to patients whom are secondary. I don't think it would be very beneficial with hCG monotherapy for somebody who is primary

    Your understanding of how hCG and the HPTA works is severely misunderstood. I don't have the time to explain it at the moment hopefully somebody else has the time to. Main point: HCG stimulates testosterone production regardless of any other androgens are present or not. It is acting like LH and forcing the testicles to produce, if they are able to. Androgens shut down the hypothalamus and pituitary down, not the testicles. The testicles are shutdown in a secondary action so to speak.
