Do any providers still offer HCG or have they all switched to Gonadorelin?

Do any providers still offer HCG or have they all switched to Gonadorelin? My provider switched to Gonadorelin from HCG and didn't give a reason.
My clinic has had some challenges in allocating HcG. Empower has stated shortages, and now we transitioned to using a different pharmacy due to this ongoing problem. It has made providing optimized services, particularly to fertility patients, a challenge.
 
Hmm, sounds like Defy + Empower is not the place to go for HCG then.

I was originally prescribed 100 units (which seems to convert to 1000iu) of HCG a week. Do telemedicine providers offer prescriptions in this amount?
 
Look up specialty pharmacies in your specific region if you can. Mine still has in stock Pregnyl and generic Fresenius with no allocation issue currently. $100 retail for 10,000 IU.
 
Thanks readalot! I would need a prescription for that correct?
Absolutely. You could try to identify a local provider by calling a local specialty pharmacy and asking for prescribers. But if they are in-network they'll probably be more of a stickler than a compounding pharmacy.

Much simpler with compounding pharmacies where if you know the right person you can ask for what you want and they may tell you the top 5 prescribers they work with.

I get the 12,000 vial, through defy from empower. I believe the cost with shipping is $84.

I believe they offer a 10% discount with first responders, medical staff, retired military and military.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
