I am 30 years old and have been on TRT for 7 years, HCG for the last 3 years. My main concern is maintaining fertility.
A 5ml, 50,000UI vial used to cost $150 and is now $300. Has anyone found a safe, effective, and cheap replacement?
I've been looking at:
Furthermore, I'm getting slightly anxious about the fertility question since I also have decently sized varicoceles which can effect sperm production. I have now been on testosterone for quite a while and the doctors I have seen haven't been too helpful when it comes to course of action to evaluate and preserve fertility.
One doctor was saying that I should have initially never been on testosterone that young before trying other methods but that there is no point in coming off now and to just wait until I am thinking about having kids. I don't plan on having kids for at least another 3 - 5 years, but it's a life goal of mine so it weighs heavily. I don't want to completely mess it up and am willing to spend the money and time on ensuring that. I really haven't seen studies where exogenous testosterone is the cause of permanent infertility.
The other doctor I've seen doesn't think it's a big deal. I was the one to ask to be put on HCG. If anyone has had experience or opinions in this area, I'd love to hear it.

I've been looking at:
- Overseas pharmacies for HCG
- enclomiphene
- kisspeptin-10
