What it is
Human chorionic gonadotropin acts like LH, the signal that tells the testes to make testosterone and sperm. It's often used alongside testosterone therapy to help preserve fertility and testicular size.
How it works in the body
It stands in for LH, so the testes keep working even when testosterone therapy has turned down the body's own signal.
What to expect
Weeks 2–8: Labs show whether testosterone and related hormones respond.

Low testosterone where your provider prefers stimulating your own production
Probably not for you if
Hormone-sensitive cancers
Untreated thyroid or adrenal problems
Common side effects
