You can design and execute your own HRT program

Sounds like you have an HPTA that operates differently than most, which is a good thing for you! But when you say that you haven't experienced any shrinkage even on cycle, I'm assuming that you equate lack of shrinkage with lack of shutdown, which may be correct. However, for most people, a cycle will certainly shut you down and cause testicular atrophy, and low dose test can shut down at least some of us.

I don't think that HPTA shutdown = loss of libido. After all, you could be on 1g test per week, be completely shut down re your HPTA, and have an excellent libido due to the large amount of exogenous test.

I think a low doese HCG is a relatively simple and inexpensive addition to HRT/TRT. I think throwing that in the mix would be helpful to many and harmful to no one. I think you need to keep the HCG dose low (below 500IUs) to prevent the leydig cells from becoming desensitized.

Just my $0.02.

I think its been pretty well proven that taking any amount of test will shut you down. I have seen many men tak a tiny amount of androgel and come out with lower test than they started with, becuse they are shut down. The addition of HCG was a huge improvement in my HRT program. I see and two very well trained HRT docs and have been on 100mg/wk cyp, some Adex, HCG, and GH for some time now and life's alot better!
