It depends on the reason of your hypogonadism. There's a few different steps in the process of producing testosterone, the hypothalamus releases gnrh which signals the pitutary to release LH which tells the lydeg cells to produce and release testosterone. Some guys on trt produce a normal amount of LH but their lydeg cells do not respond to LH anymore, so no testosterone will be produced. If this is the case for you then hcg is worthless, you will crash hard. If it's because your hypothalamus doesn't produce gnrh anymore or your pituitary no longer produces sufficient amounts of LH but your lydeg cells are still sensitive to LH then this will work. Hcg is basically just a synthetic form of LH so it does the same thing. Travels down to your balls and tells your lydeg cells to produce testosterone. You would need to inject a decent amont of hcg eod for this to work tho. I don't think 250ius is gonna wake up your balls that have been shut down for I don't even know how long. You will still be digit down ofcourse, but assuming your testes still respond to LH it will work. I've see it done on here before, blood work showed normal test levels, but LH and FSH were still totally shutdown which is what we expect. Rich Piana does this so he can come off and clear his receptors between blasts.
