    Can I stop TRT and just switch to HCG+FSH for a few months (and be done w/TRT etc for good) instead of taking SERMS?

    Everything hurts. I've lost 12 pounds from 2020 to 190. My penis still works but my sex drive isn't really there (I've continued taking 5mg of Cialis which I always have taken dailu for over a year). I'm sleeping fine... I am still making it to the gym but I'm getting a bit weaker. The one...

    My testosterone test came back 70 ng/dl and free T 15pg/ml

    Can I stop TRT and just switch to HCG+FSH for a few months (and be done w/TRT etc for good) instead of taking SERMS?

    I had my labwork done... LH and FSH. LH - .9 FSH 2.8 My Estradiol came back <19pg/mL - it doesn't seem his lab is very sensitive and I think there is still a testosterone test coming (I may be wrong). This was 31 days since my last injection of 80mg test cyp and 14 days since my last HCG...

    Can I stop TRT and just switch to HCG+FSH for a few months (and be done w/TRT etc for good) instead of taking SERMS?

    I am stopping TRT to regain my fertility and I have been to 2 docs (urologist and endo) and both left me with questions. After TRT 1.5 years I had zero swimmers. Wife wants another baby so I decided to stop TRT (also for a couple other reasons - I couldn't fix my chronically low SHBG/hair...

    Going for semen analysis Tuesday. First one since starting TRT 1.5 years ago. Anyone want to take a bet?

    So an interesting thing happened. I had my last test cyp 80mg shot on Sep 6 and have been injecting Pregnyl HCG 1000iu since that day E3D (in preparation for my clomid+tamoxifen) therapy starting 29th and my libido has returned like a monster these last few days. It started w/ridiculous...

    Going for semen analysis Tuesday. First one since starting TRT 1.5 years ago. Anyone want to take a bet?

    Thanks for all of the info. With regards to SHBG, how can I keep it higher when I start TRT again? More frequent injects + lower dose? Pre-TRT my SHBG must have been higher bc I had my TT and FT measured by the same method and the free T was 2.1% whereas now it is 3.4%. Should I be looking...

    Her major concern is time. She is 35 1/2 and feels like time is running out to have a second. I agree on that bc I don't want her to be overly damaged (her first pregnancy was perfect and not even a stitch). That's where this is mostly coming from... but I agree it needs to be handled. Once...

    My guess is also the nandrolone. My wife is up my ass on this. She thinks it was selfish and a bad idea for me to "feel better" when I knew we weren't done having kids. She views this as some vanity project while not hearing I used to need 10 hours of sleep to recover from a bike ride and now...

    Going for semen analysis Tuesday. First one since starting TRT 1.5 years ago. Anyone want to take a bet?

    Actually one more lab just came in and it was my DHEA Serum. It was at the bottom of the range at 2.6 which could be influencing my libido. At this point HRT is becoming such a hassle. I have more energy and 20+ pounds of extra muscle, but libido hit or miss most of the time, upstream...

    Going for semen analysis Tuesday. First one since starting TRT 1.5 years ago. Anyone want to take a bet?

    I'm assuming LH and FSH are zero and have been for a long time bc I'm on TRT. No reason to test for it. The clomid therapy would start after my injected testosterone clears my system. As for SHBG this is the first time I had it tested but every pre TRT my free T percentage was over 3. Every...

    Going for semen analysis Tuesday. First one since starting TRT 1.5 years ago. Anyone want to take a bet?

    I went to see my urologist last night. His recommendation is clomid. I asked him to prescribe FSH in addition to boosting my HCG dose and he said it was out of his expertise but would defer to another urologist he works with who is better versed in fertility. While I was there I got bloodwork...

    Going for semen analysis Tuesday. First one since starting TRT 1.5 years ago. Anyone want to take a bet?

    Then there are only 3 rational explanations for my situation 1) HCG dosage is ALL or NOTHING for me... in that study even the guys at 125iu maintained ITT at 25% below baseline. We don't know if that's enough to maintain spermatogenesis BUT I have ZERO... not 1/2/3/5 mln sperm... ZERO. And I...

    I replace all my hormones. Here is what I learned.

    I noticed that you added FSH... you've been on HRT for 4+ years? How often are you getting a semen analysis? I recently had one done using more HCG than you per week and have zero count after 1.5 years on TRT+HCG. I was fertile just before.

    Going for semen analysis Tuesday. First one since starting TRT 1.5 years ago. Anyone want to take a bet?

    According to that study 250iu 2X per week should be enough to maintain at least some level of spermatogenesis... 7% below baseline should be enough to maintain SOMETHING. I may be one of the unlucky ones, but you have to remember that at least from what I have seen 250iu 2X per week is the...

    Going for semen analysis Tuesday. First one since starting TRT 1.5 years ago. Anyone want to take a bet?

    My protocol varied between 250iu once per week to 300iu twice per week. The majority of my time spent on TRT was at 250iu e3.5D. I thought I preferred 250iu once per week but now I really don't know for sure. One thing I neglected to add was that I finished an 8 week Deca 140mg weekly run (my...

    Going for semen analysis Tuesday. First one since starting TRT 1.5 years ago. Anyone want to take a bet?

    It would appear that I'm completely infertile with zero viable sperm. What's amazing is that the clinic I started with told me that I could maintain fertility using HCG. Maybe it was a sneaky way of saying it would be helpful if I ever come off or just a sales tactic. Now it's time to decide...

    When would this protocol be started for someone coming off twice weekly TRT doses?

    How soon after the last tect cyp inject do I start the protocol?

    When would this protocol be started for someone coming off twice weekly TRT doses?

    I am getting results of a semen analysis and if they are poor, I'm contemplating doing the following after talking to my doctor as one of my options. When would one start this protocol? How long after the last test cyp injections? The protocol for HPTA normalization contains (edited on Dec...

    When your sperm count was zero were you using HCg in addition to your TRT protocol? Bc that may be a rather big difference between our situations.

    Going for semen analysis Tuesday. First one since starting TRT 1.5 years ago. Anyone want to take a bet?

    Started TRT/HRT 1.5 years ago. Have been on either 250iu/300iu HCG once or twice per week nearly the whole time outside of a few weeks in the beginning. Seem to feel best on 250iu HCG once per week on Wednesday mng and that's what I'm doing now. Monday mng 80mg test cyp/80mg Thur evening...

    Need advice 28 years old. On trt for over a year and trying to regain fertility

    You may not even be infertile. Go to a urologist and get a semen analysis or just start pulling the goalie. My guess is you are probably still fertile.

    Does HCG stop working due to desensitization?

    What labs? And what objective benefits out of curiousity?

    Does HCG stop working due to desensitization?

    I watched a youtube video done by a guy I respect a lot (Virtuous Steve) and he claimed that HCG Leydig cell desensitization is real and HCG shouldn't be used year round to backfill DHEA and Pregnenolone, but supplementing w/pills is a better solution. 25mg DHEA/10mg Preg. I began TRT in...

    I did 4 week total test bloodwork. Kind of early but was curious where I was landing on my dose.

    SO on 100mg per week SubQ, the average man should be at 1000ng/dl total test by week 6? Am I reading that correctly? That seems awfully high for a multiplier.

    I did 4 week total test bloodwork. Kind of early but was curious where I was landing on my dose.

    Why is it pointless? It was just a total testosterone test. It told me 2 things... my compounded testosterone is most likely at least label dosed and probably spot on(you may snicker at this but someone new to this who has only really used human grade foreign pharmaceuticals in ampules isn't...

    I did 4 week total test bloodwork. Kind of early but was curious where I was landing on my dose.

    This may be more correct than I initially thought. 10 years ago if you told me there was a forum of men experiencing all sorts of issues on 100-200mg of test I would not have believed it. I would have thought you were crazy... but it seems the older we get, the more affected we are by small...

    I did 4 week total test bloodwork. Kind of early but was curious where I was landing on my dose.

    That was your advice. Other guys said to skip a dose and then drop the dose. I'm not really sure whose advice is actually considered "solid" but I do know that I was able to sleep by skipping a dose then lowering it.

    I did 4 week total test bloodwork. Kind of early but was curious where I was landing on my dose.

    When I started doing research on TRT it seemed as if 200mg was the starting dose. Most of the initial information I got on the subject was watching Dr. Rand videos on Jay Cutler's youtube. Another clinic I talked to was a starting dose of 200. My clinic happened to be 160. I'm sleeping fine...

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.
