Anabolic steroids and TRT decrease SHBG, DHEA, pregnenolone and progesterone in men.

That could work if you can find it AND afford it.

If I had access to HMG, what are the typical doses for it that you know of? I’ve seen 3.75iu 3x per week myself but wasn’t sure.

Thank you

What about HMG instead of HCG?

My reply from another thread: HMG to HCG IU equivalency?

Most would never use hMG as a sole replacement to substitute LH.

hCG is used as it mimics LH which stimulates the Leydig cells in the testes to produce ITT (intra-testicular testosterone) and hMG or rhFSH would be added (@75-150 IU 3 X weekly) as the main reason would be to stimulate Sertoli/germ cells.

Could you imagine the dose/cost needed to use hMG as a sole replacement not to mention other issues it may cause!


*Human menopausal gonadotropin contains both LH- and FSH-activity. However, a dose that provides adequate FSH activity does not maintain Leydig cell function because the LH-activity is low. Thus a combination with hCG is required to achieve fertility.

Gonadotropin (GnRH, FSH, HCG & HMG) Treatment in Male Infertility

Male hypogonadism is often associated with impaired fertility. In special cases, treatment with gonadotropins can induce, maintain, or augment spermatogenesis. Patients responsive to such regimens are men with secondary hypogonadism, lacking gonadotropin secretion due to pituitary disorders or...

HCG restart attempt.

I've been on HCG from June 15, for an attempt to restart my own testosterone production. My trt doctor prescribed a huge amount of 5000iu 2x week. I did that first, and then spared it out to 2500iu EOD after few weeks, because of the huge 5000iu dose at once seemed to give me elevated heart rate...
