On Androgel but still want to have kids; what are my alternatives?

[Lumberg]

There are multiple feedback loops to test production. Both estrogen levels and T levels have an impact on natural production.

HCS is beneficial if trying to have kids and/or would like to keep your testis from shrinking.

OK, that's very helpful. For some reason I thought that E was the only feedback element to the hypothalamus. I probably read it in a post here--don't believe everything you read on the internet!

Thanks for the info. I probably need to talk to my doc about HCG. I think I remember him saying something about he'd prescribe it but he didn't think my insurance company would pay for it. How much is HCG commonly in the USA?
