FSH+hCG+TRT Semen Analysis

I was on Test Cyp 70mg 2x a week + hCG 750 IU 2x a week when I did my first semen analysis. I did the 2nd semen analysis after adding 75 IU FSH 3x a week, changing hCG to 1000 IU 3x a week, and keeping test cyp the same at 70mg 2x a week.

I also tested 17-OH Progesterone LCMS at the same times and it went from 16 to 59. A fertility doc told me 50 is his lower bound.

I'm thinking of upping FSH to 150 IU and upping hCG to 1200 IU. And, doing test cyp 3x a week at 40mg (which would be a weekly decrease but the hCG may offset it). Thoughts? Advice?

I would change the hCG and FSH injection frequency to three times per week. Here is a study that applies to you :

Yes, I saw that and already upped the frequency to 3x/week. I'm ordering AMH test. In that paper, which I purchased, it also talks about Inhibin B but there's no much guidance on what to do with the results.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
