HRT is not an exact science bro.
Bottom line is that some ppl need 100mg/week others 150 or 200. So its a lot of variety in how ppl respond. However to understand how the entire thing works here is it is:
Pituitary sends signal to the testies to produce test. This signal is LH. Once the test is up estrogen raises and pituitary shuts down the LH.
Its a simplified explanation here but this is the cycle. What you do on TRT you just break this cycle and add testosterone. To combat the shrinking nuts you need LH.
I mean there are more things at work here but for the sake of simplicity this is how this works. In order to have kids you need to somehow stimulate your LH production so the testies can make their own test/sperm. THat can be accomplished by using HCG, or clomid or nolva. HCG is your best bet though.
You do not want to let those nuts shrink too much or for long period of times because there maybe a point of no return there in some cases. If the nuts get unused to restart them again it may take up to 6 months using HCG.
I personally use HCG as if I would do a cycle. At the end of 2-3 months I start using 1000iu every 5 days for 3 weeks and the nuts are back. I avoid using HCG all the time, just becasue I do not know the long term constant use will do. So, using it few times a year is just fine. I hear ppl use HCG 2x@250iu a week too. THat's just too much pinning year round, mixing the stuff, and keeping it refrigerated etc. Pain in the ass
I cannot believe the lack of knowledge many doctors have in explaining this stuff to their patients. If you have to come here to get this stuff explained bro, I would be very worried about the doctor who prescribed your TRT.
Good luck
