[QUOTE="gaz7718, post: 161761, member: 28740"] Hi, I’m new to the forum having discovered it a few months back. I’m from the UK where it seems we are still catching up with the thinking in the US. I am very grateful for any wisdom this forum can offer on the challenge I face and hopefully can add to the rich information already here. I started TRT 1 year ago and although had initial guidance from a private trt business, eventually I decided to buy what I needed and monitor my health as a much cheaper way to achieve the same end result. My T and free T were in the lower quarter of the target range. To accompany the use of injectable testosterone I used 500iu of HCG every 3 days on the same day as the T injection of 60mg. It was a bit of a balancing act over the past year to try and get everything right from a blood test perspective and still there’s some fine tuning, but this process is made harder through the availability of HCG, having started with pregnyl and then being forced to move to a hcg from drs labs, which I remain sceptical how reliable it is. T levels are in the top quartile and so is free t. unfortunately after several months of trying for a baby we remain without a positive result and having took a fertility test recently (home version) it confirmed my suspicions that my sperm count is not in a good state. I will take a further test, but all indicators are suggesting the hcg wasn’t effective at maintaining fertility. Tescticals seem a little smaller compared to prior trt but nothing significant on this front. Anyway, the above is the background. If we assume I am right and fertility needs addressing it looks from the evidence posted here the quickest and most reliable recovery is higher doses of hcg and fsh. I notice the doses are pretty sizeable which presents a number of concerns: 1. Where in the world can you get reliable sources of hcg and fsh that ship to UK without prescription? 2. The costs appear sizeable. I mean seriously sizeable! Thousands over a 3-6 months. Am I correct here or am I missing something? 3. Given I started trt 1 year ago and have used hcg throughout would you subjectively believe clomid and higher dose hcg might be as effective and clearly much more affordable? I’m 47 and want my wife to be pregnant within 6 months 4. Are there any protocols anyone would recommend as having the least adverse side effects? I thought high doses of hcg can screw up your HPA axis? 5. Any other recommended directions I should take? My preference is not to stop trt itself as this would carry pretty scary implications as I am an avid health and fitness freak and really don’t like the prospect of low t for several months. Thanks for any feedback in advance [/QUOTE]
