[QUOTE="Vettester Chris, post: 74918, member: 696"] On #1, I suggest looking more at the diet. Anything sugary after 6:00 PM can do that for me. On #2, HCG provides LH, HMG provides LH and FSH. Either one will provide you LH. HMG is preferred for fertility, having the FSH analog to promote activity with the sertoli cells. Either way, your rationale for switching doesn't work, as LH is still a factor. On # 3, like CW mentioned, we're just grasping with speculation without lab results. Your doctor should have been on top of your thyroid results from day, and make sure to include TPO & TgAb antibodies. If your thyroid is sub-optimal, especially with RT3 imbalances, then optimizing testosterone and other hormones can almost be counterproductive. Again, top to bottom, look at the whole picture. #4 is confusing, maybe I'm missing something? "This part scares me because I know there would be a shut down but it could possible revamp my natural LH and FSH feedback loop so I respond better to HRT therapy." Your HPTA seems to be shutdown already. Adding HRT shuts it down completely. Some sort of "cleanse" isn't going to do anything for your axis. If you could restore your axis, then do that, don't mess with HRT. If you are on HRT (speaking Secondarily), your HPTA doesn't work, won't work, checked out, retired, whatever you call it (?), but that is why you take HRT. It doesn't go both ways, but again maybe I misunderstood your statement/question? [/QUOTE]
