Your testosterone might’ve been a little on the low side. Enough to shut you down, but not enough to get you in an optimal range where you would feel better. Were you injecting 75mg once a week? Did you do labs when you were on the test e? Personally speaking, Clomid made my libido worse. Even...

I did as well but just found out it was for the 50,000iu vials. They have 12,000 in stock. You would think someone from Empower would’ve told me that the two times I called. Sorry for the confusion

That’s strange because I’ve been told that HCG is on back order at Empower since weeks ago. I even called this morning and was told the same

Updated protocol from wife’s IVF doctor (instead of urologist). Reduced HCG to 1500ius/3 times a week and increase Clomid to 50mg/day. I’m going to feel like shit

Yes. My testosterone just came back this past Monday at 1090 ng/dl, so the HCG must be doing its job in that sense. It has never dropped below 800 on HCG only. I’ve currently been on 25mg of Clomid for the past 5 weeks and am waiting to speak to the nurse to hear what the next step should be...

According to what I’ve researched on the board so far, HCG monotherapy can shut you down from producing FSH, a very important component to sperm production and quality like morphology which in the beginning was my only issue that this urology wanted to correct. I have been shut down since I...

Thanks for the responses so far, guys. One theory of my wife and I is that since people were putting off surgeries at that time, he was looking to make some money while business was slowed down in the middle of COVID. All avenues weren’t exhausted, the varicocele wasn’t painful and surgery...

Unfortunately they’ve been on backorder for HCG at least a month at Empower.

I always take Optimum ZMA before bed. Seems to help with sleep a little bit.

Hey, guys. Firstly, I’m not the kind of person whose first instinct is to sue a doctor if the results aren’t satisfactory because they are human after all, and I also don’t need the money. However, I’ll provide you a timeline of doctor visits, semen analysis results, medications, surgery, etc...

Is constipation a well-known side effect because I haven’t seen it mentioned much, but I’m on 25mg ED and have definitely noticed it as well. Libido is way down also.

I probably would’ve just stayed on the low dose clomid that the Dr originally had me on. My labs looked perfect on it but unfortunately I still had the side effects of low T.

From my personal experience with preserving fertility while on TRT dosed test and HCG for 3 years and never missing a dose, 500ius twice a week wasn’t enough to do the job for me. It kept my balls about 3/4 full cosmetically but lab work and advanced semen analysis said otherwise for fertility...

Ok, cool. I'm actually in FL

That's pretty interesting. I'd also like to know this.
