    Thanks Dr. Saya! She did mention about FSH when I inquired about alternatives but insist that I continue with the same dosage of HCG for another 3 months. May I also tap into your expertise for another questions? Will adding back another 100 - 200mg weekly of testosterone cypionate affect my...

    Regain Fertility: Stopping TRT and switching to HCG-only (Ovidrel) 1500iu X 3 times a week

    Thanks Vince. My doctor insist on HCG mono-therapy with her reason being testosterone injections will cease my sperm production. With the amount I am paying for HCG, I wouldn't want it to not work!

    Possible Gyno on HCG monotherapy/arimidex

    T3 & Total Testosterone

    Hi Gokk Why the T3 to your TRT+HCG protocol? Your thyroid seems to be functioning well. I have really low T4 and low TSH (doc only put me on 50mg T4 daily) and recently switched to HCG-mono therapy (5th week now) and have yet to run new bloodwork (scheduled in another 3 weeks' time). Would...

    My trip with CLOMID and PCT to stop testosterone shots

    Thanks for your insights and well wishes, Lebo :) I had just done my groundwork and understood the rationale behind the protocol by Nelson. Onto my HCG prescription, its a rather high dose of 3 X 1500iu (Total 4500iu) weekly; I guess (anyone please correct me!) its due my doctor's intentions to...

    My trip with CLOMID and PCT to stop testosterone shots

    Great that you shared your story! I am hypo-gonadal and was on TRT for nearly 3 years and just switched (started this monday) to HCG mono-theraphy to restore fertility with hopes to start a family.

    Regain Fertility: Stopping TRT and switching to HCG-only (Ovidrel) 1500iu X 3 times a week

    Thanks Dr Justin. Having read your reply, I had been googling Clomid vs HCG but do not really understand all the various reviews. Many protocols recommend being on both before tapering out the HCG. Are you able to share more why doctors prescribe HCG vs Clomid?

    Regain Fertility: Stopping TRT and switching to HCG-only (Ovidrel) 1500iu X 3 times a week

    Thanks Weasel; I shall narrow it down to Total and Free Test alongside E2. Already embarked on the 3 X 1500iu HCG weekly monotherapy schedule; hope my testosterone levels wouldn't crash without my usual 200mg of test cyp. per week.

    Regain Fertility: Stopping TRT and switching to HCG-only (Ovidrel) 1500iu X 3 times a week

    Thanks Vince, always appreciate your insights and the constant guidance you had provided me since day 1. However, I struggled with rock-bottom testosterone levels for years before TRT improved my life; just don't want to return to those negative days in pursue of the possibility of having a...

    Regain Fertility: Stopping TRT and switching to HCG-only (Ovidrel) 1500iu X 3 times a week

    Dear Fellow Excelmales Having been on TRT (test cyp - 200mg weekly) for nearly 3 years, I ran a sperm count and the results were ZERO.

    Hi ERO Have you got your 24hour cortisol levels checked to confirm this? I might be facing similar issues and have been managing the night wakings by getting out of bed and having a small meal (less than 300kcal) then falling back asleep (i wonder if its the slight release of insulin or...

    Fertility: Sperm count up after adding HCG to TRT

    Hi HealthMan I am sorry to hear about the unexpected negative results. May I clarify on the schedules of your protocol? You were zero count while on TRT alone (duration?) before switching to testosterone cypionate (70mg 2x a week) and HCG (400 IU 2x a week) for 9 weeks which raised counts to...
