HCG – Human Chorionic Gonadotropin
What is Human Chorionic Gonadotropin(hCG)?
Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) is a hormone that mimics luteinizing hormone (LH), a key signal in the male reproductive system. In men undergoing testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), hCG can help maintain natural testosterone production and fertility by stimulating the testes to continue functioning.
How hCG Works
Think of hCG as a “signal booster” for your testes. While external testosterone can suppress natural production, hCG sends a signal similar to LH, encouraging the testes to maintain testosterone output and sperm production. This is particularly valuable for preserving fertility and testicular function during TRT or following a cycle.
Potential Benefits of hCG Therapy
When used as part of a supervised hormone therapy protocol, patients may experience the following potential benefits:
• Supports intratesticular testosterone levels
• Helps preserve fertility and prevent testicular shrinkage
• Maintains active spermatogenesis (sperm production)
• Reduces risk of azoospermia (absence of sperm)
• May support mood, libido, and overall reproductive health
What to Expect
hCG is typically administered via subcutaneous or intramuscular injection two to three times weekly, depending on treatment goals. It may be used alongside TRT to preserve fertility or during post-cycle therapy to stimulate recovery of natural hormone production. Your provider will tailor the dose to your specific needs and adjust based on lab work.
Is hCG Right for you?
If you’re undergoing TRT and wish to maintain fertility or avoid testicular atrophy, hCG may be a recommended addition to your regimen. It is often used in fertility preservation protocols and during post-cycle therapy.
Important to Note
All benefits listed are potential and vary by individual. Side effects may include mild water retention, acne, mood changes, or elevated estrogen levels. hCG should only be used under medical supervision with proper lab monitoring.
How to Use hCG
• Reconstitute lyophilized powder with bacteriostatic water according to pharmacy instructions
• Draw the prescribed dose with an insulin syringe (0.5 mL or 1 mL)
• Inject subcutaneously in the abdomen or intramuscularly, as directed
• Store the reconstituted vial in the refrigerator
• Rotate injection sites to minimize irritation
