[QUOTE="jacb, post: 276905, member: 18836"] I was just watching a video on YouTube titled: ”The Pro's & Con's Of HCG On Cycle | Desensitisation | Testicular Volume | Semen Volume | Fertility”. [URL='https://youtu.be/6XHSidKheWk/=y5A0SvUFk1OKBfP9']Video Link[/URL] The speaker who appears to understand the subject much better than I do introduced HMG (Human Menopausal Gonadotrophin) which he implied could be better than HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin) in certain cases. I understand that it is possible to overstimulate the testis and suffer testicular atrophy even while on HCG. [ATTACH type="full"]43608[/ATTACH] Can someone please explain the differences between HCG and HMG and give examples where one might be preferable over the other. The speaker in the link simply went too fast and even a second viewing didn’t help. Do I understand that HMG effectively replaces both LH & FSH whilst HCG only works on the LH side? Are both HMC and HCG affected by the Compounding Pharmacy ban in the USA? PS Since posting the above, I have found an article on the Excelmale forum (posted be Nelson) called “Gonadotrophin (GrRH, FSH, HCG & HMG) Treatment in Male Infertility“. Quite and heavy ([I]technical[/I]) read. Can anyone offer a user friendly summation? [USER=13851]@madman[/USER] [USER=3]@Nelson Vergel[/USER] [USER=843]@Vince[/USER] _________________ The key differences between HMG (Human Menopausal Gonadotropin) and HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) are: HMG is a combination of two hormones - Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing Hormone (LH). It is used to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs for fertility treatments like IVF.[1][2][5] HMG helps with follicle development and maturation. In contrast, HCG acts similarly to LH and is used to trigger ovulation once the follicles are mature.[1][2][3] HCG is often used as a "trigger shot" after a course of FSH or HMG treatment to induce the final egg release. While HMG stimulates the ovaries to produce eggs, HCG helps maintain pregnancy after fertilization by supporting the corpus luteum.[1][3] HCG is secreted by the placenta during pregnancy. In summary, HMG is used for ovarian stimulation, while HCG is used to trigger ovulation and support early pregnancy.[1][2][5] They have complementary roles in fertility treatments, with HMG preparing the follicles and HCG inducing the final egg release.[1][3] Citations: [1] [URL='https://www.withpower.com/guides/hmg-vs-hcg-74d6']Hmg vs Hcg[/URL] [2] [URL='https://www.excelmale.com/threads/hmg-vs-hcg.7939/']Hmg vs hcg[/URL] [3] [URL='https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4287577/']A review of luteinising hormone and human chorionic gonadotropin when used in assisted reproductive technology[/URL] [4] [URL='https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/endocrinology/articles/10.3389/fendo.2017.00114/full']Frontiers | Efficacy of Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) Alone, FSH + Luteinizing Hormone, Human Menopausal Gonadotropin or FSH + Human Chorionic Gonadotropin on Assisted Reproductive Technology Outcomes in the “Personalized” Medicine Era: A Meta-analysis[/URL] [5] [URL='https://fertilitycenteroforegon.com/gonadotropins-hmg-fsh/']Gonadotropins (HMG & FSH) | The Fertility Center of Oregon[/URL] [/QUOTE]
