Concerns with long-term fertility

[zLeeKo]

Since we don't know much about long term hCG use (10 years and longer),how would 23 year old go with hCG to preserve fertility?
Would taking a break with TRT every once in a while ( don't tell me I will feel like shit,I know that) be helpful in long term preservation? Or I'm doomed to 500IU EOD all the time?

I don't see an issue from taking a break and doing a restart. Don't skip the restart.
Of course trt is not meant to be stopped but I have done it myself 2 times without issue.

Yeah I would restart with hCG (clomid if needed) every 6 months or so. I'm just curious is that a better strategy for preserving fertility then non-stop test+hCG use?

Did you have your fertility checked, prior to the start of TRT?

Sure,I was fertile . Checked with SA (I was at 150m with >20m being fertile)

Every 6 months is pretty often. Really I would just use Hcg with trt and just to be sure get fertility sperm count tests.
You def would need Hcg and clomid and the body catching up isn't fun and the time to do so Varies.
I would not do any trt without Hcg no matter what.

You're right. Few people gave me same advice. I will add hCG and check sperm count with every blood work. Thank you for advice,I appreciate that.
