This - exactly this. My wife and I talked about it the other day after a visit with her OB. She tried to convince us as to why we shouldn't have our son (due in 3 mos) circumcised, and sent us to a website explaining why. On the website, in the first paragraph, the "science" referred to...
To answer the thread - I was doing both Testosterone (160mg/week) and HCG (1000iu/week) for the entirety of my 5 years on TRT, believing the HCG would keep me fertile. It wasn't until we went almost a year of trying without any luck, when I went to get my swimmers tested and bam - was hit with...
Just an update - I've been doing my T shots IM the past couple of months (2x/week), just to give the inflamed areas in my abdomen some time. (I also took a break from the HCG during this time - both for conservation of it, as well as liking to "cycle" off of it every once in a while to maintain...
Thanks so much! Still feeling a bit surreal. Had to first sono this week - totally real and crazy. I couldn't help being a bit pessimistic. So glad this worked how it theoretically should have. Only problem now is this lack of compounded HCG and FSH in the U.S. At least for the time being...
Hey guys - promised to report back on results, and here they are:
SA results from last week:
Total Motility: 61% >38
Forward Progression: 78% >32
Concentration: 2.3m/ml >14.9m
Total Count: 5.5m >38.9m
Despite the low sperm counts, my doc pointed out that the motility and forward...
Guys, my wife just surprised me at dinner tonight - she's pregnant!! Apparently, the FSH/HCG combo works!! I got two ZERO sperm count SA's last May and August after trying for almost a year to get pregnant. Did 90 days of HCG/FSH from Sept - Dec. Apparently, it works!!!
Systemlord,
This post by @Albert39 is timely, as I have been trying look around the net to find more information regarding whether or not Test Undecanoate could be used as a weekly injection, to reduce the the number of injections required. I've seen a lot of comments from you on this forum...
Yeah, in theory, I agree with you. But, in practice, my love-handles are disagreeing with us both LOL. I've used 27g 1/2" LDS insulin syringes to inject .4ml of 200mg/ml T Cyp suspended in grapeseed oil from Empower Pharmacy, in the same manner for several years. For whatever reason, my body...
Thank you @Neil and @madman. So, want to follow-up on this. I've been scouring the inter webs (including these forums) on this topic. And, here's my hypothetical question: is it possible to just overuse a particular site for SubQ injections, to the point that it starts getting irritated with...
Thanks, Madman. Agree with everything you said. I've been doing 4 SubQ injections per week (2x T and 2x HCG) for several years and never really had an issue. Always used the same carrier oil for T - grapeseed oil. No reactions or allergies ever. I def follow the same protocol you outlined...
Requisite Background: TRT patient for 5 years - current protocol is Test 80mg 2x/week, HCG 500iu 2x/week - and, I'm also currently taking HMG 75iu 3x/week in my quest to regain my fertility. Through the years, I experimented with multiple different protocols, from the standard 100mg injection...
My insurance will only cover T if you're a female transitioning to male. I've done pre-tax cash via HSA for everything except one lab/year for the last 5 years.
Cosmoen,
It sounds like you and I were almost exactly the same. Was doing FSH with Defy for 90 days - essentially mid-Sept through mid-December - 75iu 3x/week. Didn't realize the FDA ban also effected FSH - I thought it was just HCG (b/c that's what Defy's patient email said).
Anyway, the...
I have to concur here. I have no issue with anyone at all exploring TRT for aesthetic reasons, barring a few minor (not really minor) points:
1) 6 mos of hard dieting, working out, experimenting with different supplements, different workout modes, etc - this is not enough!! You need AT...
Sorry Nelson - wasn't sure if I could share the source here. I ordered HMG via napsgear.org. It's a reputable site (many, many reviews online) where guys get gear for steroid cycles. Not my interest, but they also sell "ancillaries" and PCT products, which include HCG and HMG. For those of...
Absolutely - will do. I'm awaiting the arrival of the HMG; hopefully by the end of next week. In the meantime, I have an SA scheduled next Thursday morning. I'm hoping that 90 days of FSH and HCG every other day will have at least improved my sperm count from the two goose eggs I got last...
Thanks for the clarification, DS3. I think I misspoke a bit. According to my consultations with Defy, the HPTA restart protocol would be discontinuation of the T, increase of HCG, and addition of Clomid - to start - so that it's not a cold turkey stop. Then titrating the HCG down until it's...
Thanks, DS3. Right - I understand the HCG + Clomid protocol. In my consultations with Defy, this is essentially the HPTA restart protocol, no? I mean, the HCG slowly gets phased out, the Clomid remains and you eventually go back to natural T, LH and FSH production, was my understanding. I...
Thank you, Gman, for tuning me into this thread. Similar boat here, guys.
I've done two protocols so far - first, cutting back T and increasing HCG - 500iu every other day. Did that for almost 120 days. Did another semen analysis and still no sperm.
Then did a protocol with HCG every...
Thank you so much, Cataceous. I spent the whole night networking a bit and on the "inter-webs" and believe I've found a reliable source for some HMG. A little different than what I was looking for originally, but think it will do the job I'm trying to get done. That price sounds right - I...
Thanks for the reply, Nelson. I did the HCG 500IU every other day for about 4 mos - that was our first try. While it def elevated my T and E, after 4 mos, I got another zero sperm count test. That's when we decided to introduce the FSH.
I have another sperm analysis scheduled in about 10...
Hello all,
Long-time lurker here - first time poster. I'm going to try to keep this short and sweet: Empower and Hallandale have stopped compounding FSH due to the same regulations that stopped HCG. But, I'm desperate to continue my FSH injections to see if I can regain my fertility...
