You only take 60mg if test per week!? Wow! The HMG I am struggling to find for a decent price. 75iu 3x a week would cost me SO much every month. Why take both HCG and HMG?

Just to clarify, this will shut down or interfere with the HPTA, as LH comes from the pituitary. Will it not?

Yes it does.

The only thing with Clomid is the vision side effects. I experienced them before and they actually never resolved. Does enclomiphene not have those sides? I didn’t think enclomiphene was authorized for prescription in the US.

I’m wondering if the 500iu EOD is even worth taking. My doctor said I could go as far as 2000iu EOD, but I’m afraid of the increased E2 I’d get from that. I’m just wanting to restore my fertility to what it what a couple years. My semen analysis comes back with low-ish concentration and very low...

Thanks for this detailed reply! When I previously stopped TRT, it too months and months of very low T (levels in the 100s) before my body finally recovered. That's when I was taking Test-C for about 2 years. Would taking HCG at 500iu EOD for 2-3 months cause the same degree of shut down, and...

I want to run HCG in order to improve my fertility numbers. I’ve got 3 10,000iu bottles of HCG that my doctor prescribed for me, but I’m concerned that taking this will suppress my own testosterone production…leaving me low T or a need for a “PCT” once I stop the HCG injections. Am I off base...

Ah my bad! Sorry about that.

Fail to mention it every time? I just posted this. I haven’t posted here in forever. I mean…thanks for the help and everything, seriously, but I don’t lurk here all the time and keep up with the requirements for posting. I’d be happy to adhere to them if I knew them…which is why I posted that...

I’ve already been off TRT for nearly 2 years now.

Hmm…very interesting. I wonder if going back on TRT would reverse this. But I just can’t see how introducing exogenous T would get back my testicular size and/or increase my semen quality. Overall…I “feel” quite normal. Not really different than when I was even on TRT. My testicular atrophy and...

Would the lower FT also be causing the semen degradation and smaller testicles? I will go back for another round of labs next week.

For the total T measure it just says “IA.” And for Free T it states “ The concentration of free testosterone is derived from a mathematical model using total testosterone by LCMSMS, sex hormone binding globulin and albumin.” But even still…how does this all related to smaller testicles and...

Thanks for all of this input. I will ensure that I get the direct measure FT next time. But also, I don’t feel like I’m “struggling” really. As far as “feel,” I feel totally fine. But my balls are just noticeably much smaller than ever before, and semen quality is degraded compared to before I...

I posted my Free T as well. It’s 53.1. Also, I do have high SHBG. I did not get it measured on this most recent test, but on all my historic tests it has been between 54-65.
