    Fertility - Restart?

    NO, it does not make sense. Most do not use Clomid plus HCG. Clomid is well known for not really improving quality of life. Have you ever tried TRT+HCG as described in Lipshultz paper below? You could also try FSH but that is a lot more expensive.

    Hello from Houston!

    Welcome. Many of us live in Houston. Houston is actually the Mecca for TRT. And the best urologists live here. Go see Dr Khera or Dr Lipshultz. They both take insurance. You can also run tests on your own. https://www.discountedlabs.com/testosterone-lab-tests?product_list_limit=all

    Did you stop testosterone while using the hcg ? If yes , did you feel bad and lost muscle during that time ?

    Disappointing Initial visit with one of Houston's supposedly premier TRT Doctors

    Hi Nelson, if I can figure out how to PM you, I will. I thought it might not be a good idea to publicize the doctor's name on here. But, I was very disappointed by my experience with him

    Anyone know how to read Spermogram results ?

    Okian....yes, those two values are not great. I would love to see a new spermogram test after you have been on optimized TRT plus HCG for at least 6 weeks. Look at the table included in Lipshultz' paper above. Hey, can I ask how much you paid for the test?. Thanks

    “High-Normal T”

    Did he give you a reason for starting that high? I am assuming the high dose started the gyno?

    How to Improve Sperm Quality, LH, FSH and Testosterone in Infertile Men

    Dr. Larry Lipshultz does not require that you get off. And he reports they have yet to be unable to help a man regain fertility unless they are primary.

    Where to get Testosterone prescriptions?

    ...department at Baylor, tell them where you're located and that you're looking for a urologist who prescribes TRT. I've read that Dr. Lipshultz prescribes 200 mg, weekly. If you feel good physically/mentally on your dose, labs and BP are in range, no problem. This isn't about how everyone...

    Where to get Testosterone prescriptions?

    ...informed than other medical specialities with TRT. If you're in a major metro area look for a urologist that did a fellowship at Baylor in Houston under Lipshultz or Harvard in Boston under Morgentaler. If you're unable to find a good urologist locally. Defy would probably be your best option.

    Semen Analysis Results

    I would not deviate too much from Lipshultz' protocol: TRT+ hCG 500 IU every other day. I would probably try hCG at 700 IU every other day. 50 mg testosterone twice per week.

    “High-Normal T”

    This might imply that his concept of starting low is in relation to AAS use. "starting low" is not well defined.

    Dr Larry Lipshultz in Houston

    I'm a current patient of Dr. Lipshultz at Baylor. Is he leaving Baylor? or is the new clinic going to be in addition to seeing patients at Baylor? My experience with wait times has ranged from 30 sec to 2 hours at his Baylor clinic. Just something you should plan for. He's been a great...

    How long for sperm production to return after starting HCG?

    xr88 Just use the Lipshultz protocol of TRT+ 500 IU every other day. At least that protocol has data. 125 IU HCG per day may not be effective. Look at the graph here: Two Studies That Used HCG with Testosterone Read more at...

    HCG is not working anymore. Do I have antibodies to it?

    I modified Lipshultz protocol by only using HCG twice instead of three times per week (in my case I am not worried about fertility. I just want a sex drive boost and to keep my testicles full)...

    Dr. Larry Lipshultz - Urologist and Testosterone Therapy Expert in Houston

    I have no idea about what Lipshultz does since I have never been patient. But IMHO, I am glad that there is a doctor who is helping athletes do what they do safely. Most all athletes for decades have hidden what they do and would never discuss this with a doctor. Its much better that they...

    Nandrolone Decanoate Report

    ...Use nandrolone. There is no such a brand anymore and puts clinicians in a difficult position when their names are googled by the DEA. Lipshultz is a prostate doctor and expert on BPH, so you should talk to him. I would try some doxazosin or low dose Cialis if you can tolerate either one...

    Absolute minimum dose of HCG for fertility?

    Unfortunately, I think its how long and how much your sperm have been compromised or of low quality/count that will determine the dose. Dr. Lipshultz recommended 75 ius a week for me and I had a kid while on TRT. But yes the e2 effects are pretty harsh, I agree at the higher doses. Shit even...
