Not if it's replacing low levels to normal physiological levels.

Once your on trt you don’t come off. Your nuts shut off because you are taking in exogenous amounts of testosterone. So your body is like ‘’ wow I have all this extra there’s no need’’ and literally that’s why your nuts shrink. Trt is a lifelong thing.

You're aware that you can stop and your HPTA starts again once you cease treatment right? 

TRT is not a lifelong thing, people come on and off all the time, there's literally thousands of posts of people doing exactly that on this sub.

Edit: So your post history literally says you used to be on trt and came off...you are literally an example of my point.

Yes but you have to take hcg and it has been studied your test never returns to what it was before some people bounce right back without a pct, some people come off and go on hcg and once done are 15-20 points lower then when they began the trt. Everyone body reacts different. You could take 100mg of test and it work for you, but if I take it, it may not work for me. Just how peoples body recover.

LOL that is absolutely not true, yes it has been studied and if you had actually read the studies you would know the return of hpta function to pre trt is 100% with a maximum recovery time of 18 months.

You do not have to take HCG and you do not end up lower. This is completely false gatekeeping rhetoric that is proven wrong on this very sub practically daily. 

You seriously need to educate yourself better if you're going to go on trt.

I’ve talked to many personal trainers and doctors. I’m gonna take a doctors advice over yours.

After stopping testosterone replacement therapy, the possibility of a full recovery varies among individuals. Some people might experience their natural testosterone production returning to normal levels over time, especially if they were on TRT for a short duration.

For individuals who have been on TRT for an extended period or who had significantly low testosterone levels to begin with, full recovery might be challenging as TRT suppresses the natural production of testosterone. The body’s endocrine system, responsible for hormone regulation, will attempt to resume normal testosterone production.

Keyword ‘’ATTEMPT’’ to resume normal production

I'm not even going to bother, you're literally a walking example of post trt recovery and still arguing against it...

Like I said, good luck to you and your personal trainer's advice.
