HCG for fertility

Started my TRT journey a little less than 3 months ago with 160mg Test C per week. Since beginning the protocol, I've decided that fertility is important to me, but live in a state where HCG cannot be shipped by my telehormones provider. I've used alternate methods to obtain a supply of HCG, but I'm unsure of the dosage. Does the short time I've been on TRT mean i should be able to regain fertility quickly? Should i start with higher dosages to get things restarted? I can't say I've noticed much if any testicular shrinkage so far.

My plan is to use 500iu of HCG eod, but I'm certainly open to thoughts and suggestions on how best to do this. Also, what would be my expected timeline to be considered fertile again?

Thank you!
 
Make sure that you get a semen test before starting. HCG at 500 IU every other days. Hopefully well be all that you need for improving your semen. Of course everyone is different.

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.
