HCG with TRT and sperm quality

[Randomhero]

Hi all,

Is it possible that HCG run along with TRT could impact sperm motility? I had a decent count when running both, but motility was very low, could FSH be needed in sperm production to maintain adequate motility or is it something different? Currently off Test and running clomid to restore natural production.

Thanks

FSH directly stimulates sperm production, without it, there is no sperm.

I'm currently on 60 mgs testosterone cyp x2 week, along with 1666 IU'S of HCG. I want to add fsh, but my fertility doc thinks it's too early, although he will go along with it, providing I can find some studies to show him. He also would like the studies to provide to my insurance...

Appreciate the reply, however I had 29mil sperm on hcg and trt, just low motility (2%). Will the addition of FSH from stopping test and adding clomid improve sperm quality?

If you take a deeper dive into the links provided, you'll see ->

At low doses, FSH improved only sperm motility. At intermediate doses, FSH ameliorated sperm concentration and morphology. Total sperm count and progressive motility showed a trend toward the increase. At high doses, FSH increased sperm concentration, total sperm count, and progressive motility.

Clomid will work to, but may require you to stop TRT and then having to deal with symptoms from stopping TRT and then the symptoms from clomid, which can be very unpleasant.

The TRT, hCG and FSH is the prefered path to take.

Agree, but gone with the clomid restart. Hopefully the motility will increase as with increased hcg it lowered it
