[QUOTE="TheDude84, post: 17842, member: 2869"] Been a while but just met with PCP. I'm not sure I agree with what he is telling me. Short recap. Stopped testosterone, went on clomid and hcg. Couple months later LH and FSH are both up from where they were, Total T is high (1500 or so), Free T is normal, SHBG is really high (175-180). I don't feel great by any means but I can deal with it. I still haven't had a semen analysis that shows any sperm but it hasn't been more than 3 months since the cessation of cypionate. Either way, doc is telling me to stop HCG because it is causing my T to go too high for sperm to be produced effeciently. Basically he is saying that high (total in this case) T will prevent Spermatogenesis. From what I understand HCG is stimulating Spermatogenesis and T production at the same time by mimicing LH. I went on Cyp in the first place because LH was too low after my Pituitary Adenoma was removed. The way I see it, stopping HCG would just put be back to low T and no sperm. Am I missing something obvious? Do any of you have any thoughts on this? I did get a referral to a fertility doc but I don't think insurance will cover it. I feel like I need the second / third/ fourth opinion in this case. Maybe I'm wrong though, I'm not the doctor! [/QUOTE]
