What age did you start trt? And what is your protocol for hcg to stay fertile?

Hmm so it appears that you also make the argument that continuous use of HGC will raise E2 levels.

I didn't mean that, HCG is an LH mimic but it acts a bit differently... LH is released in a pulsatile fashion from the pituitary, while HCG will have sustained levels due to much longer survival time in blood. This might bring E2 levels up due to continuous stimulation, but it isn't usually an issue with the low maintenance dosages used in a TRT protocol.

What are the drawbacks on starting trt that young from your experience?

If you need it then you need it, no way around at that point, the more you go with low T the worse, especially under 25.

I'm almost 28 now and I'm still struggling with sexual and overall functioning.
