TT and FT dropping gradually HCG

[Stevo213]

Hi all,

Have been using HCG for a few months. My first test 5 months ago was approx 630TT. Did a second test and was about 540TT. Did a test yesterday and got a score of 291 Ng/dL.
Could my receptors be slowly downregulating?
Have tried 500iu e3d up to 2000iu e3d. Should I try come off HCG and run a low dose of clomid?
Goal is HPTA restoration and fertility late next year.
Second option is ditch the HCG for TRT and re introduce HCG in 6 months (giving the receptors a break).

What is the reason for the continuous hCG use?

Your receptors aren't down regulating but I'd stop HCG monotherapy for hypogonadism regardless

HCG mimics LH, telling your nuts to wake up but that’s only one part (the T) of the HTPA, clomid could possibly help get the pituitary to wake up.

Was the 630 TT before the hcg use?
