Where can I get other brands?

i don’t think it is.

He understands that the only FSH in your blood is what you’re injecting right? Your body isn’t producing FSH on its own due to TRT. If he wants a higher level; the FSH dosage should be increased. If you want to go the route of restoring your body’s own production of it then that’s a whole other...

FSH has a very short half life. If he’s testing you a day or two after the injection then you won’t see much of a level. The important part is what does your semen analysis say. If he’s taking you off of TRT solely off of your FSH levels and didn’t check to see if you’re actively fertile now, I...

Yeah....but what does your semen analysis say now?

Ok even the Wal-Mart was out. The pharmacist even speculated that Perrigo might be getting a monopoly and pushing out competition. Anyone here get anything besides Perrigo where they’re at (not counting compounding pharmacies)

It seems the only brand of testosterone that pharmacies here in New Orleans carry anymore is the Perrigo brand. Am I alone in finding that it just feels weaker than anything else I’ve tried? Especially compared to compounding pharmacies and even other generics, I just don’t feel the same. I just...

HCG- Human Chorionic Gonadotropin SHBG- Sex hormone binding globulin LH- Luteinizing Hormone FSH- Follicle stimulating hormone RHR- Resting heart rate E2- Estradiol GnRH- Gonadotropin-releasing hormone There’s a ton of them. It’s not about being on the inside, as just saving time as I’m sure...

Keep a close eye on your E2. I would think most guys would have issues at that dose.

I would only adjust one thing at a time. 70mg twice a week like you’re doing now and try getting rid of the AI. The hCG could be causing some E2 issues as well. E2 is the bitch in this game.

First to answer your question, find an out of country source. Second, where did you hear hCG was going to be unavailable across the board, in terms of compounding pharmacies?

150 a week, each vial will last 10 weeks. A little over 200 a month

no, sorry, I meant how long did your actual vial last before the effects start to diminish? It sounds like you were making each vial last a few months? Did you notice any diminished effects after awhile, as it maybe got less potent, or was it fine?

@HealthMan sorry to revive this old thread, but how long were you able to use the FSH before you noticed it’s effects diminishing? I’m trying the same route as you, except 75iu x2 a week. That would give me a little over two months worth. But if the FSH doesn’t last that long I would rather just...

Yep

I commented and sent a message, hope it does some good!

not really cheaper. You get 1500 units of FSH vs 500 with HMG, so I went this route. I do have to option to change if I want to try it later. I’m taking hCG in addition to the FSH and Test.

Just for reference FSH was $469 through Empower plus $40 shipping because they cold ship it overnight. I’ll update this thread on my progress.

Once when I’d moved to my new city and doctor the nurse was quite surprised when my blood results came in. E2 high, h&h and etc. She said that high E2 thickens the blood and causes the heart to work harder, makes you sluggish. I don’t know is that’s true, but I feel much better since I’ve...

Side effects of hCG dose being too high (in my case, 3000iu per week): water retention/bloat/fat face, lethargy, easily winded, penis seemed to sit higher up, like I’d just gotten out of a swimming pool, no stamina in gym. Pretty much everything was the polar opposite of what I’d hoped for when...

What’s your dosing schedule? HCG is known to raise estrodiol which can cause those types of symptoms. I also started with higher doses of hCG and had the same type of symptoms. I eventually lowered my dose to the bare minimum (to me) of 300iu twice a week in addition to testosterone. The hCG’s...

Wondering if 500 units of HMG is equal to 250 FSH and 250 LH? Or 500 and 500? Hmm.

Finally! Thank you. I guess just pure FSH would be the better deal, since you get 6 times more FSH than the HMG vial.

I’m having such a hard time getting a good idea of pricing on these two meds. Empower is telling me they need to see my prescription before they give me a price quote. My Dr is willing to write a prescription for either but I’d like to know pricing before I decide. Anyone? And for that matter...

For starters get a semen analysis done. HCG apparently does preserve fertility in some men. You could be one of those. If not, then there’s other options, depending on what route you want to take and what your budget is. I’m also currently trying to regain fertility, but I’m going the pricier...

Well we’re not in a hurry per se, we just don’t want that door to be closed like it is now.

In one of the threads in Nelson’s link, a guy here got his count back up to normal within 6 months by only adding 50iu of FSH twice a week to his test and HCG protocol. I may start there or with 75iu twice a week, depending on price.

I can post my results after a year and a half of TRT+HCG when I get home next week. Keep in mind I take a lower dose of hCG, just to keep some of my testicle size. My testes are about half the normal size when taking 300iu twice a week, I recently moved up to 375. When I first started TRT, I...

Do you know the prices of FSH vs HMG? I guess I’ll find out on Monday either way.

Yes, that’s my understanding of how clomid works.

i tried clomid long ago, before i started TRT. Started way too high at 50mg a day, then down to 12.5mg EOD. Felt terrible on it. Lots of anxiety. Ive been all over the map with hCG dosing as well. 375iu is the absolute most I can take before I start getting E2 sides. And yes I’m still on test...
