question from a user
I’m convinced that HCG ruined my TRT experience. Unfortunately my clinic started me on both at the same time. Experienced sides immediately that lasted far too long.

Many men have side effects from hCG. This is why we never advocate for starting hCG and TRT at the same time. Dial in the TRT first and find your optimal dose. Then add hCG if needed. If you develop side effects with the hCG, then you can stop it immediately.
