Got my lab tests back and All looks good except low LH

[gadgetfreaky]

So low lutenzing hormone. I've actually been on a course of Test for years and it appears now I need to start introducing HCG on a long term basis with that.

However, the sources I use to get supplies don't seem to have HCG. Is it better to just order this stuff over the internet as there seem to be lots of websites that carry this stuff.

Anther question is HCG really teh right thing to counteract chronic TRT with Test - or instead should one use Clomid.

HCG will not fix your LH. If anything, it'll bury it further.

It will just stimulate your dormant testes for a few days and they will go back to sleep when you stop using it. You can use a bit of weekly HCG to keep your testes alive and most feel helps with feeling normal, whatever that may be.

Several sponsors carry HCG.

since you're on TRT why is it new that LH is low? and why care since you're causing it to be low by using test

 

[mike036]

Hcg mimics LH so it wouldn't show an increase in your bloodwork and like others have stated since you are on trt so why care about low LH .

So, was he thinking HCG would show up in bloods as LH? Really?

What HCG will do to your bloods is that you'll be positive for pregnancy.

Yes - this is the thinking- Long term duration on T- Testes shrink. no longer stimulated T produciton on their own since body getting plenty

LH drops.

follow?

You can add small amounts of hcg 200-400ius 2-3 times/week to stimulate your testes .

Yes, I know. That's exactly what I wrote.

But, what do you expect to accomplish with the HCG? Some leydig cell stimulation? That you get...

HCG to show up in bloods as LH? Nope...

well my balls are smaller- i miss having big balls...it's an asset.

also - are we sure there are not other benefits hormonally from having strong testes? I'm conerned that even tho T lvls are good - other things might be impacted.
