Actually I am using that exact dosage and frequency. Also I would imagine there is a difference between RESTORING and preserving fertility on TRT? My reasoning for wanting to use hCG instead of remaining on TRT, is that this way I am supposedly more likely recover FSH, which otherwise will be...

Bump :) Does anyone know an answer to the following question: "Can hCG and Clomid (or whatever SERM) be used together in order to improve fertility?" From my research (male fertility studies) this seems to be a very common combination when trying to restore male fertility. HCG for LH...

While it is possible to restore fertility with hCG on TRT, wouldn't it be easier (more reliable, faster) to do OFF TRT? I mean that way you also have to possibility of effectively stimulating FSH release with a SERM. Alternatively hCG+hMG, but still - off trt should be more effective if one...

Actually guys, I have considered to stop the TRT temporarily as I originally intended. While staying on TRT and hCG continuously may work for some, it is not a risk I am willing to run. My testicles have been atrophied for far too long and I want to see what happens if I stop the testosterone...

Correct me if I am wrong, but Wellbutrin works partly as a nor-epinephrine and dopamine re-uptake inhibitor. Nor-epinephrine causes vaso-constriction, which could result in less blood to both your testicles or genitals in general. I use Ritalin for studying every now and then and while they...

Yea you are probably right. I guess I am just scared for the future and I want to do everything I can to better my odds. I just wish my testicles would react more to the hCG. That is the main reason I am skeptic that I will recover. After 2½ months on it, they are only slightly larger, but...

For how long have you been doing this Gene? I have used Caber with some success too, but I don't like the idea of dopamine agonist withdrawal syndrome (DAWS), so I stay of it. I found that using pramipexole intermittently (if you can handle the sides) made a huge difference in terms of...

I started using hCG mid November so about 2 months ago. I know the formation of new sperm typically takes 3 months, so I am remaining somewhat hopeful and will do another test in a month. I am using hCG without my doctors approval (not that he is against it). He doesn't specialize in fertility...

Alright, so I got checked 1 day earlier than planned and the test unfortunately shows that I have <5 million sperm and that motility sucks. It wasn't specified if it was azoospermia or if I just had very low numbers unfortunately. I have a few options now: 1. Remain on trt + 500iu hCG every...

You are right, guessing wont do me much good. I am however still curious if anyone in here have ever had the experience of conceiving with atrophied testicles. Anyone? Anyway, I will report back in a few days! :)

Alright, maybe I should just stick to that then. It is not like I WANT to go off that's for sure! :) My biggest worry is that since my testicles remain small, hCG might not be enough for me. Have any of you guys ever conceived with atrophied testicles? I appreciate all the help guys, thanks!

Hey Coast, thanks for replying! I am having a semen-analysis done this Wednessday. If everything looks good then I wont change change anything. I am just thinking ahead in case the results aren't good. I have been on TRT for 2 years. I had low T due to a couple of cycles I did for the purpose...

Hey guys! If I go off TRT for a couple of months (hopefully not more than 4) to induce spermatogenesis, should I then remain on hCG (using 500iu 3x/week now) and add in a serm (Clomid/torem) for the duration while off testosterone? Obviously people are treated with both types of medications...

Sorry, maybe I'm being slow here, but I just don't see the connection between those answers by Dr. Nelson and Dr. Justin Saya in relation to this topic. They are discussing HPTA restart protocols after cessation of TRT - not improving fertility on TRT using SERMS. Surely there is a difference...

It seems to be a debatable topic whether or not there are any benefits to using Clomid or other serms on TRT. We typically use hCG to retain fertility (or restore). The problem is that hCG does nothing for FSH. Can we use Clomid, Nolvadex or Toremifene to solve this issue? I know hMG can take...
