I completely agree that we are wasting our time with the cream. But... for the sake of humoring our doctor... we gave it a chance. Today we have another appointment and we have every intention of pushing for HCG injections, instead of the cream. Thank you for clarifying the LH portion, I...

My wife is 26, I am 25. Yes it is the HCG cream. We just received follow up blood work results. Testosterone has actually decreased from the last draw. 1st Draw VS 2nd Draw Total Testosteron: 1st - 273.6 ... 2nd - 241.5 FSH: 1st - 3.8 - No change LH: 1st - 4.4 ... 2nd - 6 (I know HCG is...

I am by no means trying to make excuses. There is just a lot of information flying around and it's a lot to take in and sift through. I hear one thing from one doctor and a completely different thing from another. I am looking into seeing Dr. Saya now. I do appreciate all of the brutal honesty...

Thank you, I must have missed this. I am going to bring this forward to my doctor and see if I can get follow up semen analysis done.

In that link it talks a lot about restarting sperm production in men that were on TRT. What we are trying to do is prevent his sperm count from declining at all. Am I missing something? I haven't been able to find something that says "if you use HCG and Testosterone replacement therapy it is...

I'm not really sure what he meant by efficient, it sounds like what he was implying is that HCG combined with TRT doesn't always work and isn't a long term solution because many men become resistant to the HCG. And longer lasting yes, the injection since I am using the cream right now and a...

That's kind of what I have been finding. It seems most doctors don't really know what they are talking about these days. We just got done with our appointment with our reproductive endocrinologist. He basically said that there isn't an efficient way to combine meds with TRT to keep my body...

That's good to know, thank you for the heads up. We deal with a lot of doctors looking at us like we are crazy when we have gone in for my wife's fertility issues. And she is very well read in hormonal issues because of dealing with infertility. It took her 9 doctors to get a diagnosis when we...

Yes I do realize there is only one appropriate test, that's why I said I think the Doctor ran the wrong one. But he is running it again after 4 weeks of HCG treatment. Granted we don't have a base line to go off of, but we will see if my E2 is elevated soon.

TBI is the cause of my issues. My diagnosis is Post TBI hypothalamic pituitary dysfunction. My BMI was around 20-21 prior to my accident. After my accident no amount of exercise could keep the weight off. I was a logger at the time running chokers in the brush so I was running up and down hills...

So it looks like in theory HCG should help me because I have secondary HG. But it seems I risk increasing my estrogen levels which I have a feeling are already high. The doctor attempted to check my E2 levels but apparently the lab misread his handwriting or he checked the wrong box because they...

My BMI is awful... it's about 36. Hers about normal at 26.

I didn't realize it was that common to combine HCG and Testosterone to maintain fertility. I received the diagnosis from our family doctor so I know he is no specialist on the matter. I am waiting on my insurance to approve the referral he gave us to go to an endocrinologist considering the...

Does the HCG eventually improve the way I feel though? We did one injection of testosterone when I was diagnosed prior to hearing about the effects on fertility, and boy let me tell you, I haven't felt that good in years. I had energy, sex drive, and I was in a great mood for a few days. But...

I hadn't ever heard of the Cream for HCG until we picked it up at the pharmacy. And my wife when she used HCG for fertility she used IM injections. So this is all new to us.
