Hello Everyone,

So, I'm starting TRT at 100mg a week of Test Cyp. My first injection was Friday, they want blood work the day before my 3rd injection. We'll monitor every few weeks until we're dialed. At this time my endo doesn't usually prescribe HCG or an AI for TRT. I know that I may need them, and I have access to them.

My primary questions right now are, I understand what HCG does, and the need for it. However, can you supplement with pregnenolone and dhea INSTEAD of using HCG, since HCG promotes the creation of pregnenolone. Does taking pregnenolone and dhea orally even work? I've read that most of it doesn't make it past the liver. So, are transdermal creams the answer. Again, can they be taken orally or transdermally INSTEAD Of HCG, or do you need to supplement with them in ADDITION to HCG. I read the HCG and Pregnenolone thread already as well. Thanks!
