Yes. I have a significant response from hCG raising my testosterone level so I don’t need very much exogenous testosterone. HCG will help maintain your ball size, but you really cannot maintain normal fertility and sperm parameters without FSH. I get my Menopur through Alto Pharmacy with a prescription. Once my deductible is met, it’s covered and very reasonably priced. I’m going to tinker with lowering the hCG and FSH even further. It may just be my own physiology, but I think those are overdosed and we don’t need as much as you think. I have some labs pending, and I will share them as soon as they’re back.
