Today I'm going to be explaining the use of HCG together with testosterone injections (Video Transcript)

Why Do Some Men on TRT Need hCG?

Men with a low testosterone test result need testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), either by getting a prescription from a doctor for a gel, like AndroGel, Testim, Axiron, Fortesta, or getting a prescription for testosterone injections, like Cypionate, Enanthate, or Aveed (testosterone undecanoate). There are many benefits of using testosterone to replenish or to increase your testosterone back to normal levels for your age. However, there are disadvantages. One of the disadvantage of using testosterone is shutting down your own body's production of testosterone. Your testicles basically stop producing testosterone. There are cells in the testicles called Leydig cells that go dormant when you start using testosterone gels or injections. This testicular cell shut down can cause testicular atrophy, meaning your testicles can shrink with time. Testicular atrophy can fortunately be reversed with the use of hCG together with testosterone injections, gels, pellets and other TRT options.

TRT can also cause your fertility and sperm count to go down.  This decrease in sperm count and quality may impair your ability to get your wife or girlfriend pregnant.

After long term TRT, some men may start feeling that TRT is not working as well when it comes to boosting their sex drive. Other men may feel that their penis is not as sensitive when performing sex. So, that's where Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) comes into play. hCG is a peptide obtained by prescription that it's legal and FDA approved in the United States for enhancement of fertility in men and women, and for increasing testosterone in men with hypogonadism (testosterone deficiency). hCG has had a lot of bad publicity due to its use in the “hCG diet”, which is not supported by clinical data and the FDA.  hCG has also been proven by studies to also improve testicular size when experiencing testicular atrophy due to TRT. And last but not least, hCG can  improve men’s libido and penis sensitivity.

How to Use hCG with Testosterone Injections at the Same Time

Most protocols used by different TRT clinics out there use two or three injections a week of hCG either under the skin or in the muscle. Along with hCG, they prescribe testosterone injections either once a week or twice a week. That protocol requires, when you add injections up, five injections a week. I don't know who likes to inject that much! Personally, I do not want to inject so many times per week as I'm really trying to simplify my life and to avoid what we call “needle fatigue”. We're all busy and yes, we want to have the best sex drive, the best mental capacity, the best mood, but not with that kind of commitment to multiple injections.  Therefore, I designed a protocol that will simplify my and everybody's life by using hCG together with testosterone injections only twice per week, with both products combined in the same syringe. I use a very tiny syringe- 27-gauge 1/2 inch.  These type of insulin syringes come in a bag that you can get online without a prescription.

How to Inject hCG plus TRT

You also need alcohol swabs to clean the vials and also your skin. And you obviously need to get a prescription of testosterone, either Cypionate, Enanthate or Undecanoate. This vial contains 200 milligrams per milliliter (or cc) for a total of 10 mL. Depending on the dose, so that you may need only 100 milligrams a week of testosterone, or only 200 milligrams. In severe cases of lack of TRT efficacy, the T
