[QUOTE="madman, post: 247082, member: 13851"] Have you ever had a standard SA done? Your best bet is to seek out a fertility specialist. Many men can still maintain fertility while on TRT combined with hCG. T + hCG + rFSH would be even better in most cases. Even then depending on the individual, some may do better coming off testosterone. If you have already tried both protocols while using exogenous T and are still struggling then I would seek out a fertility specialist!
