question from a user
I’ve been on TRT for 6 months (160 mg weekly). Added HCG (1,500 weekly) 3 months ago. Balls though got firmer but still have not recovered to the pre-trt size? They are about 70% of pre-trt size. Should I increase HCG to 2,000-2,500 weekly? I don’t seem to aromatize and have low body fat.

160mg a week is a great dose for Testosterone. For HCG 1500 units a week is what we would use for someone trying to actively conceive a child.A good description of HCG is that while on TRT and no HCG, your body closes the testicle test/spermatic factory down. With HCG it opens the factory and lets in half the workers. The main goal of HCG at higher doses is increased spermatic production. For general size, or cosmetic concerns, 500-1000 units a week tends to be good for most men to maintain most/all size. Each man is different & some recover faster than others as well. Before raising your dose further it sounds like you might just be slow to recover, up to 6 months is the max we would expect.Going higher in dose likely won't provide much therapeutic benefits & no matter how much HCG you use there will always be some amount of suppression. I would not advise raising your dose & spending more money unless the cosmetic size is very important to you.
