Does running TRT with HCG change your LH/FSH readings

HCG mimics LH, so bloodwork usually shows suppressed LH.

FSH stays low on TRT even with added HCG.

Exogenous test still shuts pituitary despite HCG signaling.

HCG stimulates testes directly, not pituitary hormone output.

Expect LH basically zero when injecting test long term.

FSH rarely rises because feedback loop remains fully suppressed.

HCG gives function, but labs still read clinically low.

Don’t panic at zero LH; that’s normal on TRT.

Fertility markers improve physically despite unchanged pituitary numbers

HCG supports testes; hormone readings hardly change overall.
