[QUOTE="lt84, post: 159108, member: 38976"] I hope it is OK to reply to this thread; I'm not a super frequent user of EM so I apologize if this is not acceptable. My husband was on combo therapy that included testosterone, clomid, anastrazole and HCG for six months. This got his test levels through the roof, but it still zeroed out his sperm count. His LH/FSH levels were normal before starting any therapy (although his test was sitting at 130 before treatment). After six months on the combo therapy, test was at 930 and FSH/LH were both 0 as expected. He discontinued combo therapy in June and began HCG monotherapy in early July after the zero sperm count (as we are trying to conceive). He has been taking 1500IU every three days. He just got bloods and another SA done and the results were LH .6 and FSH .7. Sperm was 3.9 mil/ml. Test is currently 320 total, so still low, but better than his 130 baseline. He actually says he feels better now at 320 than he did on combo therapy at 930. So.... does HCG screw up the HPT axis? Should his LH/FSH be so low while just on HCG? We have an appointment on Monday with our andrologist and I'll be taking in print outs of the studies and suggestions you've cited above. I want to make sure I'm fully informed before I request FSH be added to his regimen, because I am not sure if the HCG is what is keeping his LH and FSH so low in the first place. His baseline before therapy of LH/FSH was definitely normal, so I'm certain we aren't talking about testicular damage. Thanks for any input-- the stuff you post has been absolutely invaluable to us so far, Nelson. Our andrologist is hesitant to use FSH so I want to go in knowing completely about what i'm talking about. [/QUOTE]
