fertility

I am about to start my journey with TRT and am concerned about fertility. I am also concerned about trying to dial in my numbers with test and hCG at the same time. Should I start both at the same time or should I start hCG after getting dialed in? I am also reading many different things...

Does anyone have any experience with doing an HPTA restart while staying on Propecia? I Plan on using HCG, CLOMID, Nolvadex, HMG and was wondering if anyone was successful at achieving fertility while not discontinuing Propecia. Please no comments about dropping the Propecia. I haven’t come this...

My husband (26) and I have been trying to conceive for about 8 months now. I'm not overly concerned yet, but just getting curious about trying an at home sperm analysis kit. Any recommendations what to look for? He has been on Clomid for nearly a year now, and while his lab results have greatly...

Hey everyone, if you have checked my past threads you will see that I was on TRT for 6 months but decided to stop in order to have my sperm frozen. I stopped TRT on March 1st 2020 and yesterday I managed to freeze a decent sperm sample ( 21M/ml ) and now am ready to get back on TRT. I couldn't...

Attached is my recent sperm analysis (July 1st, 2020) and my HCG & T protocol. For the past 2.5 years I’ve been taking 300 IU’s .1 2x week HCG and 80mg .4 2x week T Cyp. My testes have mild atrophy, but decent sperm load and I notice a difference the longer I go without HCG. I decided to get...

Been lurking for a few months here, and finally have spoken with a doc and have had some labs done. Due to my interest in remaining fertile for one more kid, and my current inability to do so, the doc has suggested I start out with Clomid. The basic treatment is: Clomid 12.5 mg po q day X 6...

“It depends if you want to stay fertile/have kids soon and prevent testicular shrinkage” seems to be the most common answer. However, I have read so many experiences of guys on TRT (without HCG) Who have no issues making their partner pregnant, or with maintaining ball size, or it being much...

Good morning everbody, Im 27 y. old, 80kg, 12% bf. I´m hypothyroid and and have hypogonadism. I´m on a HCG-Monotherapy. (750 I.E. Hcg eod, 125 mcg L-Thyroxin) I think that my thyroid gland is not yet functioning properly and therefore my testosterone synthesis is also limited. Hopefully when my...

I wrote about my husband being on T and HCG about a year ago and you guys were very helpful, so I am seeking your advice again. When we finally found a urologist that would prescribe fsh, I got pregnant 5 weeks after he started the fsh injections along with T and hcg (previously had 0 count)...

Hey, I have been reading threads thru out the years since I've been on TRT. I appreciate everyone's advice and stories of their own. However, I haven't seen a question like mine. I have three children and after my youngest was born, 4 years ago, I began to experience low T symptoms. After blood...

TL;DR: Over a period of seven weeks, treatment with GnRH and enclomiphene raised LH and FSH from around 0.1 mIU/mL to about 1.0 mIU/mL, even though TRT and hCG dosing were continued. Subjective results have been encouraging. I had written previously on the subject of GnRH suppression on TRT...

Hey guys, I’ll try to keep this short not to overwhelm with a lot of info. I can add more if anyone asks otherwise it would be a wall of text. I started TRT in July 2019 because of low T ( varying from lowest 2.1 to 4.1 ng / ml the highest tested during the course of 3 years ) and low libido /...

Currently using 75iu fsh 3x a week from empower. Considering going black market for budget reasons. All I can find is hmg. Would I continue 75iu? I know hmg is basically fsh and hcg together so to speak. Is 75iu hmg the same effectiveness as fsh?

Not impossible to get someone pregnant , but very low concentration. 1.45 mil , with minimum recommendation 15 mil. I would probably need to try a more aggressive approach say 500iu EOD. What do you guys think here?

Currently on 100 test/week, 75iu fsh 3x week, 3000mg hcg a week in hopes to get my wife pregnant. We are kinda in a hurry so I’ve decided to drop the test until pregnancy’s conceived. I have clomid as well. Can I run it with fsh to aid in fertility as well as get my test levels up for the meantime?

Hi there. I’m 34 and been on trt for several years now. We have recently been trying for a baby. Before I started fsh I did a YO at home SA. As you probably guess, I came up low and there were hardly any swimmers in the video. Started 2000 hcg a week as well as 40iu fsh 3x a week. After being on...

I’m having such a hard time getting a good idea of pricing on these two meds. Empower is telling me they need to see my prescription before they give me a price quote. My Dr is willing to write a prescription for either but I’d like to know pricing before I decide. Anyone? And for that matter...

Due to very high SHBG and low Free T looking to start TRT. Have done multiple sperm and blood tests. Can I start TRT + HCG and if my sperm results are poor in 2 months can I hope off without any major consequence?

I know I should prob have done a search first and I will in the site. So wanted some feedback from the peanut gallery. Girlfriend (40yr) and me (44yr) are going to a fertility clinic to learn more about possibly having a child. She has a tubal ligation so looking at a reversal or possible IVF...

I highly recommend watching this Netflix episode. Great information for all men

Hi. Im on TRT for a month now and I've been taking only daily testosterone(sustanon) - 20mg per day with some vitamins and minerals. I have not build up yet good levels, because of the long sustanon ester it will take another 2-3 weeks. Last Thursday my total test was 833, I hope it will go to...

Greetings to everyone on the board Having used testosterone in the past for bodybuilding, purposes I have zero sperm count My doctor has put me on the below HMG 150iu 3 times a week HCG 5000 iu 2 times a week 20 mg testosterone gel a day 6 months into this treatment I still have zero sperm...

I wanted to give my story for anyone who is or has been in this situation. I know there have been a lot of success stories given on here but one more couldn't hurt. From 2008-2018 I was on high dose AAS/testosterone with almost no ancillaries or HCG. I am now 41, so basically my entire 30s and...

Greetings all; Quick background: I'm 38. Was on TRT for a couple years starting about age 34. Did great for 2 years, then decided to slow-taper off to see if my testes still had any life in them. Initially I did ok, but slowly over about a year my symptoms came back---low libido, loss of...

I've been using steroids for 22 years (I'm 40). It started with bodybuilding (1000mg test, 600mg deca, 140mg Dbol/week) for a few years, then maintaining size (400-600mg of mostly testosterone/week). For the last 3 years it's been TRT with labs at 200mg/week. I've actually lowered it to...

Been on TRT for about 2.5 years. 34 year old male. I have 2 kids and want to keep the party going with a 3rd, possibly even 4th. Hopefully some information that comes out of this can help someone else. Of course, I am hoping it will help me too. I've spent about 4 weeks reading info here and I...

Been on trt for 5 years along with hcg. We have been trying to get pregnant and my sperm is very low. I know not everyone is the same but is it common to regain fertility with fsh while staying on trt? Or do most still have to come off completely?

Hi Folks, I am thinking at start TRT + HCG and would like to know what is the long term side effects of using HCG. I know few people use HCG only when they trying to conceive but what if i keep using HCG for like lets say 5 years. Does it cause any problems? The reason for not trying TRT alone...

If someone sperm count is 0 on TRT. How long (more or less) would it take for that person to regain his fertility if he stoped cold turkey? Thanks.

This question may be jumping the gun as I have not down a sperm analysis. So far the wife and I are still getting neg tests and its starting to bum her out thinking it's her. When I can say with almost 99% certainly I was probably shut down prior. I take 200mg test cyp/week. I dose my shots...

Hey guys, it seems that for every one research article I read that says tamoxifen citrate improve sperm, I also find one that says it harms it. Which is right? Just some background- I am a 39 year old, former bodybuilder. I was a very heavy steroid user in the past, for a long time. Please no...
