HCG & HMG Dose Prior to Semen Analysis

The long awaited time is here where I’m getting a Semen analysis next week in preparation for IVF. Wondering if maybe I should do a little extra hCG and HMG a day or two before it. What do you guys think? If everything looks good, I’ll go back in and freeze it and then I’m off of these drugs. I’ve been on hCG a year and HMG six months. I’m ready to stop. I have continued TRT throughout and haven’t come off.
 
why are you doing this? I missed your point. you want to freeze sperm for future use? why not use fresh its way more fun...
 
Yes. I want off the HCG and HMG. I’ve been blasting it for a year to regain fertility (HCG for a year and HMG for six months)

My hair has thinned out. I’ve battled gyno, moodiness, you name it. I want to freeze my sperm since the IVF procedure will likely not take place for a few more months. I want off this shit pronto.

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.
