Thank you! I don't think my doctor really knew that for sure, actually I don't know if anyone knows what the therapy does to cortisol levels. My doctor just told me it may be better to have the Adrenal stress profile while on HCG, but I started to wonder if that is the best possible way to go. I mean, I still don't know for how long I will be on HCG, possibly long term but it's also possible that I'll discontinue the treatment and try something else. I just know that I've had my symptoms long before trying HCG so I thought it might be better to have the test without the effect of HCG. I just don't know if it's enough to wait until there is no HCG in my body anymore (a week should be good enough for that) or if it takes time for my body to adjust living without injected HCG. In that case it might take some weeks to get hormone and thus cortisone levels back to the way they were before starting HCG.
