I want to start hcG

[LFG]

I’m currently on 30mg EOD of test cyp and my wife and I want to have a baby. I am looking to start hcG but don’t know the dose I should start with. I bought a couple bottles on 5000 IU hcg and the Bacteriostatic Sterile Water. How can I find a good starting dosage?

This study showed that intratesticular testosterone should be normalized at a dose of about 300 IU EOD. I'd start with at least that much.

It’s not too late to “save” my fertility right?

It's not too late, you may need to add in FSH. To get fertile again.

Here's a good article my healthman.

Semen analysis results after adding FSH to TRT and hCG

So after 6 months of adding FSH to my TRT protocol I got a sperm analysis done. A quick background. My fertility was normal before TRT and went to zero when I started TRT without HCG. Adding HCG 500 IU 2x a week my sperm analysis results were: sperm count 2.1mm (normal >=20mm) total sperm 7.2mm...

I know this is not a “source” website but if
Possible, where do o get FSH from?

Ideally your doctor writes a prescription and you get it from a local or mail order pharmacy. If that isn't workable then you can take a look at AllDayChemist.com. Seems like the pure FSH is out of stock at the moment. HMG is also a possibility, as it contains FSH.

I've been on HRT for 12-13 years, and am interested in starting HCG to counteract testicular atrophy.

My urologist prescribed Chorionic Gonadotropin 10,000 unit vial 5000 unit IM Q1WK - one injection weekly of 5000 units
Is this the correct dosage?
My pharmacy is asking for $300.00 for one month supply.

Help!

I get HCG through Defy medical, from empower pharmacy. I believe with shipping, I pay $84. For 12,000 IU vial.

I inject 500 IU twice a week.

Thank you for responding. So one injection weekly of 5000 units is too much right? Do you do the 1 week on three weeks off as I've read? What is the 3 weeks off all about?

I inject 500 IU twice a week now for over 6 and 1/2 years. I never cycle, I just do my twice a week injections. It's kept my testicles nice and full.

Thank you for responding. So one injection weekly of 5000 units is too much right? How much is 5000 units is that 10 time more than 500 IU? Is this apples to apples? What's that in ml?
Where do you get it at a reasonable price?

Thx,

Mark

Hi Vince, I'm trying to find the most cost-effective way to get my script filled, and at the same time understand the dosage. My doc confirmed that 5000IU per injection was a typo.

You do 500IU twice weekly from a 12,000 IU vial, that's 8 x500IU = 4,000IU total per month. Given that a 12000 vial would do 24 doses of 500IU, but is only effective for 28 days once mixed, do you just dump the rest of the vial after 8 doses a month?

Help me to understand.

Thanks,

Mark
