I did try 150iu of FSH and felt bad, at first i was also doing mon-wed-fri, 500+75, after a short trial total T was 15nmol/l or 430ng/dl, shbg being quite low free testosterone was decent but i lacked libido among other things, E2 was almost low which is funny. My current stance is that using...
Yes, this is very basic and easy to understand, it only takes around 1000iu of hcg per week to have physiological levels of ITT, i doubt e2 induced infertility will be a problem on FSH. I am currently taking 500iu of hcg and 90iu FSH every 3,5 days. I wish i could have sustained it longer...
While recombinant FSH is not, at least in most parts of the world, if one can't afford a short run of it, i would question if having a baby is something one can afford. Also freezing sperm for 10 years will probably be more expensive. Not nearly all guys end up with good sperm on HCG only, and...
HMG does work, it's human derived menotropin that in addition to FSH contain also LH, but the half life for the LH component is very short so hcg should also be kept on board.
To each his own, after years of trial and error and bloodwork, i have come to the conclusion that 2000iu daily keeps me around 85nmol/l during winter months when no uvb radiation is available. Larger doses have always caused issues like anxiety and nausea. I despise people who never do or...
2000iu D per day is usually sufficient, +1 on the FSH, trying to revive sperm on HCG only is kind of outdated anyway, you only need a little bit of hcg to have some intratesticular testosterone with the FSH.
How about trying out a reduced dose of HCG, for example 500iu 3xwk, and dropping the AI, that e2 level is IMO low considering that your t-levels are so high, which leads me to believe a drop in hcg dose would still leave you with plenty of T, gonads definitely going strong with you. Maybe the AI...
then there are reports of some guys cruising on hcg mono on doses such as 250iu 3xweek, 500iu 2xweek. There are no studies validating the claim that hcg mono works only with higher doses, supraphysiological ITT was always required for fertility when rFSH was not used. Would be nice to have a...
Goals is wellbeing, libido and erections, steady state. If ITT is almost maintained on 250iu eod, and 25% more on 500iu eod, i don't know if even on monotherapy one should be going higher, the higher doses are probably just thought to be necessary for monotherapy due to being present in...
I wish Saya had chosen 250iu instead of the 150iu and included testosterone measurements.
This data most are probably familiar with seems to indicate no need for more than e3.5d administration when it comes to maintaining testosterone with HCG alfa.(fig 3)...
That is what i would like to know, seems these two are the most common approaches found on the internet, the Saya study Nelson linked does not really make sense in the sense that so many use 250 mon-wed-fri, and many even use just 250 every 3,5 days.
In my case there seems to be a loss of...
