Proceed with caution: taking supplemental testosterone will suppress your natural sperm production: if you take it long enough your sperm counts will go to zero. They will recover after you stop the supplementation. hCG is a peptide (protein) hormone so cannot be taken effectively by mouth. Good wishes.
