[QUOTE="Cataceous, post: 171509, member: 38109"] You can use AIs instead of SERMS, and there's even at least one study showing it works. But overall it's a bad idea because of the negative health effects of excessive estradiol suppression. If I could afford it I'd try using HMG instead of hCG. But even if you can afford it I'm not sure it's practical. First, you'd need much larger doses than what are usually used for fertility. I'd guess at least 150-300 IU per day. But even this might not be enough to achieve normal intratesticular testosterone. With hCG it takes about 300 IU EOD to do that. But hCG is effectively much stronger, with one presentation citing a figure of 6-8 times more effective on a per-IU basis. A single daily injection of FSH seems to work to stimulate Sertoli cells, but it's not clear that a single daily pulse of short-acting LH would adequately stimulate the Leydig cells. I agree that hCG is a nuisance because of its strong effect on estradiol, but if I were doing a restart I would include some with the HMG. [/QUOTE]
