    Fertility Restored While on TRT with hCG

    Fertility Restored While on TRT with hCG

    Thanks! That's great news you're seeing progress already! I was pretty shocked how quickly mine came back on line after being shut down for so many years.

    Fertility Restored While on TRT with hCG

    Worked like a charm for me. Definitely helped to have my insurance pay for it though. Would've cost me like $7500 otherwise.

    Fertility Restored While on TRT with hCG

    Sorry man, didn't realize it had been bumped. Testicles got to about 75% of their pre-testosterone size. It took probably 2-3 months to get there.

    Nice. I suspect that protocol would be effective for most.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
