Thanks! @Sides That's what we are doing now keeping it simple, Test+hcg+fsh. He has not taken the tamaxofin or anastrozole in almost a week. Hopefully he feels better without those 2 meds and maybe an improvement in the sperm count. Just cant understand the all the sudden decline in the count...

When we originally started this fertility journey about 2 and a half years ago, he was just doing the T+ hcg EOD. He was on that for a year and had a SA done which came back as 0. So the hcg was not enough to maintain fertility. I've read through all the studies everyone has posted, such a big...

@gaz7718 I'm pretty sure hcg dose is 500 @catathank you for that, it helped me visualize how everything works @vincmakes complete sense, also I apologize if I violated any forum rules. When we had the consultation with the urologist last May, she prescribed all of that stuff with the intentions...

-He takes 1.0 Test Cyp on Mondays -FSH 75 iu EOD -HCG EOD, I cant remember the dose, but he goes through a 10,000iu bottle in roughly a week and a half, I know on the syringe he draws it up to 1 and half. -10 mg tamaxofin 2 times daily -1mg anastrozole daily I will see if he has his most...

I'm not sure what his estradiol levels are at, I cant imagine they would be very high since he has been taking the anastrozole daily for the past several weeks. He was supposed to have a blood drawl a few weeks ago, but because of COVID, the doctor canceled non essential appointments.

Thank you! I actually read that yesterday while digging through this forum looking for answers. He did tell me he was off the T for maybe 3 weeks and just started taking it again last week. His sex drive completely tanked pretty quickly and he was tired. He also started taking the anastrozole...

Thank you for that information. Do you think he should cut the anastrozole out all together or maybe take it 1 or 2 days a week like I see some of the other guys on here doing?

I wrote about my husband being on T and HCG about a year ago and you guys were very helpful, so I am seeking your advice again. When we finally found a urologist that would prescribe fsh, I got pregnant 5 weeks after he started the fsh injections along with T and hcg (previously had 0 count)...

My understanding was she was trying to get his test levels up using the hcg along with all the other meds and drop test in order to bring fertility back up. She said with this regimen she can get his test levels up as if he were actually taking test while bringing fertility back. So from what...

Thanks Healthman. I was wondering if he really needed the tamoxifen and anastrozole. I figured the doc would want him to come off test, but assumed he would just be on hcg and fsh to bring back the swimmers. It doesn't look like he has gyno, so I was a little confused on the addition of the...

Ugh! Now I want to scream lol. I thought we found a doc who knew what they were doing. At least on a positive note, she did prescribe us the fsh. If I'm remembering correctly, I thought she prescribed the anastrozole for gynecomastia, not 100% sure. I just looked for his most recent blood...

@It84 We went to a urologist the 1st week of May who specializes in Male fertility and is supposed to know about TRT too. At the time of our consultation, he was on test, hcg, and clomid since July of 2018. His SA this past March showed 0 sperm on that regime. This urologist told him he...

Congratulations on your baby girl! Thanks for the info. His script read for hypogonadism and not for fertility due to hypogonadism...maybe I can get the doc to change it. Looks like the fsh is helping, hes been on it for a little over a week and when we scoped this past Saturday, we saw a...

Thanks Nelson. I emailed over his prescription and am waiting for a price quote for the hcg and fsh. The pharmacy actually filled the fsh prescription and it was only a $30 copay for the fsh pens (looks like only a 14 day supply though), but it's weird his Insurance covered the fsh, but not...

@Hopeful Story We just had a consultation with a urologist that is supposed to be knowledgeable on trt and fertility. She gave us a prescription for hcg and fsh, but we just found out his insurance wont cover it for hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, that's what she stated on the perscription form...

UPDATE: Semen analysis after adding hcg mwf since July came back at 0. However, he was able to talk with the doc that gives him his test shot and he finally agreed to order him the fsh! He did mention it will be expensive, so we are waiting to hear how much. I did tell him to check Empower...

I need your help again guys... So I have an appointment next week with a different reproductive endocrinologist. I want to see if he will prescribe my husband fsh while he continues test plus hcg. I want to go into this appointment armed with knowledge, so my question is how do I plead my case...

I agree he needs a better doctor...

I was just going to post what Nelson said, the lh wont be detected on the bloodwork. My husbands lh and fsh levels were pretty much non existent on his last bloodwork done in October or November. He is still taking clomid and hcg shots 3x a week (300 or 500 iu, I cant remember). He started...

So a little bit of a silver lining. A couple months back I had bought a cheapie kids microscope and had been putting a drop of semen on a slide to check for sperm. I hadn't seen any the many times I checked and was getting frustrated so stopped doing it since it was stressing me out. It's...

Thank you! I will print this out along with a couple fsh success stories I've seen on here. The hubby briefly talked to the doc that gives him his weekly test shot and their "plan" is to lower the amount of his test shot, continue with the hcg 3x a week, continue with clomid, and add in igf-1...

Will keep everyone posted incase anybody else is combing through the forums for the same reason.

Well that's not too bad, I was thinking it was going to be in the thousands for a vial considering I keep seeing posts saying how expensive it is. He gets his test shot every monday so I will get him to talk to his doc again next monday to persuade him to order a vial of fsh and drop the...

Thanks Healthman. I remember reading your post a while back and armed with that information, I told the husband to ask the doc this past Thursday while going over blood results about dropping the clomid and doing the test +hcg + fsh, but the doc said fsh was very expensive and what hes on now...

Thank you for the reply, Nelson. He said he dropped from 1.4 of test to 1.0 once a week starting this past July. I apologize I dont know the units its measured in. He is taking .5ml of hcg mwf. Am i correct to assume given his current regime of t+hcg+clomid and his lh level only being at 0.1...

So my husband has been on trt for about 2 and a half years with no hcg. I am unsure of the dose, but he takes it once a week. We wanted to try for another child so his doc had him take clomid every day starting this past February along with his weekly test shot. Had a semen analysis done...
