You won't like to see your testicles shrinking. For me hcg 250 IU twice weekly was enough to prevent testicular atrophy and keep some (sub-fertile) level of sperm production, so no zero sperm count. It is good to know your testicles still keep working although at low speed. I am father of two...

HCG drops my libido and give me ED even if I keep me E2 under control. So it is not only related to E2 levels, but I have not found informations what else could be the reason ather than E2. I am on HCG for fertility, my wife not getting pregnant yet, and I have very low libido, 2.5 mg of cialis...

Ok Vince, I respect your point, but if I ever suspect my wife is using her imagination and fantasy with another man to enjoy sex with me, that would be catastrophic...., I would end the relationship at that right moment, and as @Systemlord said, If I need to think of another woman, then I am...

Completely agree. Whenever I have used my imagination to have sex it is because I am lacking something. At present, even If I am low of something, I can't use imagination, because I am so fortunate my reality with my young wife's beauty and sexual behaving is beyond anything I could imagine and...

I had a bad experience with SubQ: after 3 months on SubQ (only 87.5mg/wk): lower TT, higher E2, lower libido, high PB. Shallow IM fixed that. For me it's more comfortable than SubQ, I could do Shallow IM daily if I needed to.

It's probably due to the high E2 from the aromatization. I would try a lower dose and/or split the dose into twice a week.

In Spain we don't have HCG either. In its place is Ovitrelle, which is recombinant HCG, similar to Ovidrel. It comes pen with 0.5 ml, which contains the equivalent of 6500 IU of HCG. The price is 50 euros per Pen. In my opinion it is a very convenient and purified substitute for HCG. I use doses...

I understand now. I saw one of his videos and it was by insemination, which can be done even with a sample of very low sperm count.

https://jaycampbell.com/blog/hcg-human-chorionic-gonadotropin-everything-need-know/ "My strategy was to use hCG at 125 iu’s 3 days in a row every 21 days. As you can see this strategy worked perfectly well.." That's what Jay Campbell says about HCG dosing for fertility... It does not make...

Yes, that's the question I was asking myself. There is a paper from 1987 with similar aproach and it was 1500 IU: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3583230/

Gonadotropin Therapy Once a Week for Spermatogenesis in Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism From the above article, it seems once a week hcg injection for spermatogenesis may be as effective than more frequent injections..

The idea is to have a minimum steady state level from which I will never drop and I will never have hypogonadal symptoms... that's with undecanoate. Then the bonus with cypionate is to have a range of variation throughout the week that makes me feel a stronger libido and erectil function that...

Or... it sounds nice once steady state of nebido is reached, mix both together and administer in a weekly basis... temptation...

Never the same injection, but always the same day, sundays. I use shallow IM for both, in deltoids or thighs, almost painless or actually painless, never lumps, bruises or anything, so I prefer let them go separately.

When I went to nebido only, I used 0.8 ml (200 mg) every two weeks and I had been one year previouly with 0.6 every two weeks, with a previous frontload of 500 mg I did not mix them in the same injection. I was splitting the Reandron (nebido) 0.6 ml (150 mg) every two weeks, the idea was to...

Speaking of mixed esters: For about a year in 2019, my protocol was Testosterone Undecanoate (Reandron 1000mg/4ml, Nebido in the US), 150mg every 14 days, (75mg a week), and Testosterone Cypionate 25mg once a week, that's a total of 100mg a week and it worked great all round. One day I asked...

Being 54 years old, it will soon be two years since I am with a woman who is 24 years younger than me. She is a beauty of a woman, both for her face and for her body and her intelligence. She is simply the dream of any man, that has come to be fulfilled in my life after I had andropause and was...

For about a year and a half now I have been using different dosages of HCG. It is interesting that when I tried HCG monotherapy at 500 iu EOD, my total testosterone was 585 ng/dl and E2 was 37 pg/ml, then I switched to 1000 iu EOD but total testosterone dropped to 465 ng/dl and E2 increased to...

What I get from HCG is putting my testicles to work, and certainly a better sense of well-being, but never better libido. It worsens my libido and even makes me need more tadalafil or sildenafil. Also, having very stable levels of testosterone makes me feel mentally flat and low on libido...

Any update? @ResearchIt

That's for restarting hpta, not for fertility. For me, a single 100mcg triptorelin injection temporarily increased my hormones, but I couldn't keep the levels up on my own...

@Johnny Test Why do you ask that question? Have you heard of the use of triptorelin microdosing for male fertility? I have been doing research on this, but little reliable information can be found, so the available information has to be extrapolated to apply to male infertility. First of all, I...

Definitely yes. I think you have been on testosterone for a long time and without HCG, the testicles stopped working for a long time and atrophied, it is very difficult to recover it, if you really can. So if you want fertility, your case is not like using a condom when you don't want to have...

Yes, it is a given. If you replace your own production of testosterone by exogenous, you supress LH and FSH then your testicles stop producing testosterone and sperm count may even go to zero. The depth of that suppression is proportional to the T dose. There are newer forms of exogenous T that...

Yes, and I can handle it right now. Instead, feeling so well physically and in a better mood compensates any need for a little extra-help to perform. In fact, I feel better as the days go by. Libido is not strong but it is there, no morning wood or spontaneous erections, but I react acceptably...

To restore fertility, wishing to father again...

That is true for me too. (Sorry, my language is Spanish. I wish I was allowed to edit the post...)

That is true for me also.

That's correct. Better not to use Ai in the first place. Wait to see where your E2 will sit after you start TRT, and even being higher, it depends on the symptoms whether to use an Ai or not. Regarding the dose of T, you probably will need to use a frequent dose schedule since your SHBG is low...

@Executive7 I had been Ai-free for years, I set a testosterone range where I felt comfortable (75 - 100 mg/w T.Cyp) plus 260 IU hcg twice a week. At the time, my sperm count wasn't zero to begin with, but the qualitative sperm test showed a faint fertility line, and direct microscopic...

I have been experimenting and changing protocol over the years, I found my best protocol to be about 80 mg testosterone cypinate once a week plus HCG 260 IU twice a week. At this right moment I am not doing so well cause I changed to HCG monotherapy seeking for fertility. Libido has decreased a...
