Empower vs Pregnyl HCG

[JRos895]

I'm planning to drop the HMG 75iu/3x after I freeze my sperm due to cost. Any potential concerns with this?

How much are you paying for the HMG and where are you getting it?

nipsgear at $28/75iu bottle based on suggestion by member here. It comes from India and is pharmaceutical grade and takes 1 month to arrive. Was concerned about the 100 degree heat during shipment where I live but doesn't seem to affect it as long as you put into fridge after mixing.

Also Swiss chem HMG which is not pharma grade, but they test positive on a FSH test so I know its not fake and I used them for a year before switching to pharma grade

As promised semen analysis on test 100mg + HCG 500iu/2x + HMG 75iu/3x.

We are planning for freezing embryos and IVF anyway since not ready for kids for at least 3+ years, and Dr said I am good to go to provide a fresh sample for embryo fertilization and also to freeze for future use.

The only thing which may seem low is the motile sperm/specimen?
Can somebody more knowledgeable comment on this?

Also, my Dr is specifically commenting for IVF only. I do not know if my results are good enough for natural pregnancy.
Can somebody more knowledgeable comment on this?
