Personally, both Tamoxifen and aromatase inhibitors like Letrozole cause me constipation. When I have high estrogen levels, the reverse problem occurs with frequent loose bowel movements. Somehow estrogen is linked with regularity and constipation in many individuals.

I don't think there is any reason to amend your 500iu HCG downwards when you add in your HMG. The half life after injection of the LH in HMG is very short, compared with the much longer half life of HCG (anywhere from 24 to 36 hours, depending on the size of the dose injected.) That's part of...

eli0228, please share your source for cheap HCG and FSH if you've found a reliable source. The best way is always if guys can get HCG and FSH prescribed by their own doctors, but of course as many of us have found, many doctors won't prescribe HCG, HMG, FSH, or other fertility meds for men, and...

Mr S, thanks for the compliment. The lessons I've learned have been over the course of using testosterone and studying it for over 27 years; I am happy if my experiences can help anybody else in their journey. To answer your question, if you come off TRT and use HCG to reverse testicular...

luckyg, That's very unfortunate you had that experience with the andrologist. Believe me, I understand your frustration. It is very difficult to find an open-minded fertility specialist, or a doctor in general, who is willing to embrace ideas and approaches outside of the norm and off the...

That's an excellent way of breaking down the price increase compared to other forms of FSH available through pharmacies. Empower (and Defy) have raised the prices, but it's still a bargain compared to Gonal-F and other FSH on the market. And from my own experience, it's definitely worth the...

I see the prices have increased slightly since I bought FSH from Empower this autumn, when I got a 1,200iu vial for $325. Probably reflects the increased demand as more people become aware that they are offering FSH. Nevertheless, those are still fantastic prices, and Empower really does take...

You are definitely on the right track with test + HCG + FSH, and it worked for me. I have been on testosterone for over 27 years now, and had a zero sperm count in November of 2017 when my wife and I embarked on our fertility journey. Over the course of 11 months, my sperm count went from zero...

HMG with HCG and T works very well, and there is plenty of medical literature to support the use of HMG. Or you could just use FSH instead of HMG. HMG is mixed FSH and LH, so since HCG is already acting as an LH analog, all you really need from HMG is the FSH anyway. My fertility doctor...

Tough news with the HCG and zero sperm count, but the FSH will do the trick if anything will. If the doctor prescribes the FSH through Empower Pharmacy, it will only cost $325 for 1200iu, so that is definitely the most reasonably priced FSH anywhere in America. It worked for me, and I've been...

It's definitely a personal thing. Some guys see improvement with HCG, others get worse. I have used testosterone for 26 years, with no loss of penile sensitivity. But when I added in HCG for fertility reasons, I definitely lost penile sensitivity, and all things sexual got much worse...

There's a few studies that show a benefit to taking HGH or IGF-1 to help with fertility, both in animals and humans, and in both males and females. You can Google "growth hormone male fertility" and you will see studies like these: Growth hormone in male infertility Growth hormone treatment of...

Your doctor probably doesn't know that Empower Pharmacy is offering FSH for such a reasonable price. My fertility doctor had no idea until I showed him the printout off the Empower website, and I convinced him to write a prescription for 75iu FSH every other day. Go to the Empower website and...

Hey zat954, Good to hear from you, and I'm happy if my experiences can help you and others. In answer to your questions, I have changed my regimen since my wife and I had IVF: now my goal is just to maintain some level of fertility in case we have to start over because of miscarriage, praying...

Absolutely have your semen analysis and see where you are at right now, and follow Dr Saya's advice as he is the expert. You are in good hands. But my own experience (as I have posted elsewhere on this site) shows that you didn't need to come off of test in the first place, and you could have...

I've been on testosterone and other anabolic steroids continuously for 26 years now, starting back in 1992. So yes, in November 2017 when I started using HCG, I was using testosterone and had been using it for a very long time already.

Yes. First I should explain that I have been using testosterone and other anabolic steroids for 26 years now, so it was not surprising to me that I had a zero sperm count when my wife and I decided to try for a baby last fall. In November of 2017 I started using HCG, first at low doses of...

My volume increased slightly as I progressed through my semen analyses, but only slightly. What did change were my sperm count and motility: from zero when I started a year ago, to 4 million, then to 7 million, then 12 million, and finally to 35 million by the time we had the IVF procedure...

If fertility is the main goal, you have to do what you have to do until you accomplish the mission. I took 500iu HCG every other day (along with FSH) when I was trying to bring my sperm count up so my wife and I could have a baby. Now that we have successfully been through our first IVF cycle...

You will be quite fine reconstituting your HCG with half as much bacteriostatic water to make it more potent in a smaller quantity. I do the reverse. I get HCG in 50,000iu vials from Empower Pharmacy, but then with 5ml BA water added, each 10 units on an insulin pin is 1000iu HCG. I dilute...

TRT + HCG + HMG (mixed FSH and LH) has definitely worked for me in restoring fertility after many years of being on testosterone. It is expensive, as insurance typically will never pay for fertility treatments, but worth it for guys who want to keep their fertility while still using...
