    How long for sperm production to return after starting HCG?

    I just talked to my new general practitioner today and we decided to put my sperm under the microscope and see what kind of count and fuction is there. If it doesn't look good I'm going to come off of trt and go from there. I'm really trying to avoid coming off but if that's my only chance at...

    How long for sperm production to return after starting HCG?

    From what I can see it looks like 3+ months, but the dosage is a lot more in these studies than what I'm taking

    Thanks, I just wasn't really sure what to expect

    How long for sperm production to return after starting HCG?

    Started hcg this week @125iu every day. Just wondering how long it will take for my body to start sperm production. I've been on trt without hcg for almost a year, the wife and I are trying to have a baby now. I've never had my sperm tested, but I know testosterone shuts down production.

    Too much hcg?

    How was your estrogen on the 500iu does?

    Too much hcg?

    Nice. As long as I can have a kid, I feel like less is more. Definitely want to keep the side affects down

    Too much hcg?

    I'm not really sure if E2 plays a part, I'm definitely no expert. Just want to get my wife pregnant without making my health any worse. Seems like there is a lot of confusion as far as trt is concerned as to what the perfect treatment is

    Too much hcg?

    I'm not sure what he sent to the pharmacy, but the the label does read 2500iu twice a week. Maybe the pharmacy screwed up

    Too much hcg?

    Also, do I need to cycle the hcg at all? I've seen some recommend 1 week on 3 weeks off. I got 6 months worth of refills

    Too much hcg?

    Cool. Thanks for the help, I thought 2500iu seemed way too high. Hopefully this will get the boys swimming, really don't want to come off of trt.

    Too much hcg?

    Yeah, the pharmacy gave me some nice 3ml syringes to inject im lol. The smallest I have on hand are 1ml syringes

    Too much hcg?

    I didn't mix it, my doc sent me to a compounding pharmacy. There's 4ml in the bottle @ 5000iu per ml. So if 2500iu is .5 then that means .1 would be 500iu which would make .05=250iu and .025=125iu, right?

    Too much hcg?

    Yeah, I know sending my estrogen through the roof is definitely not good. Just wondering how I can split the dose down to where I can use it properly. Seems like it would be like .025 to get 125ui but I'm not 100% on the math. Definitely hard to load that amount in a syringe accurately too

    Too much hcg?

    Yeah, that's what I figured... he was also telling me that hcg isn't really going to help me but I could try it anyway. I'm wondering if maybe this is more of a dose to help jumpstart someone who has low testosterone but isn't on trt? I know it can help increase natural test production. At $150...

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.
