Do not take: You don't say how old you are, or why you would want to take hcg. Taking HCG will cause your testicles to put out too much testosterone, which will then shut down your pituitary gland from making the normal signals that tell your testicles to work. When you try to stop the hcg, it will take time for this to go back to normal and your testosterone level will be low.
