[QUOTE="HealthMan, post: 65444, member: 13512"] Maybe Dr Saya might shed some light on this topic. My understanding is that both LH and FSH are necessary for spermatogenesis. LH via stimulating testosterone production in the Leydig cells (intratesticular testosterone levels are important for spermatogenesis) and FSH directly stimulating spermatogenesis in the sartori cells. HCG is a LH analog and is able to stimulate LH receptors then taking care of part of the equation. Most of times HCG alone is able to maintain fertility in men on TRT but at higher dosages (possibly because of the weak FSH analog effect of HCG that is only significant in higher dosages?). In that case using lower dosages of HCG that are capable of maintaining intratesticular levels of testosterone (around 300IU EOD or 500IU 2x week) and supplementing with FSH one should be able to achieve optimal sperm count and quality while on trt right? I am asking this because HCG has a very stimulatory effect on me at higher dosages (most likely because of it similar structure to TSH) and I was contemplating using a lower HCG dosage and adding FSH. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
