[QUOTE="DragonBits, post: 105614, member: 18023"] Regards pulling the trigger, it isn't an irreversible decision. You can give it a try and stop, most likely even without taking HCG you can restart your natural production of testosterone simply by stopping exogenous testosterone. I took Nebido for 5 years and stopped, my production of sperm was zero. I took nothing else, but likely my testos never got above the top of the range. Once I stopped after a few months, my natural testos measured 326 ng/dl (348-1197)/ Then I took clomid for 3 months, my testos went up to 478 ng/dl. Clomid also increased my sperm production to normal levels. I think the restart protocols,clomid, hcg, etc, certainly speed things up, but I suspect you end up the same assuming you don't keep taking clomid or hcg, it just takes longer. (During those 5 years I pretty much only measured total and free testos, so I can't say what was going on with all the other indicators. I felt pretty good, though it did vary. My TT varied from 635-902 ng/dl, I certainly could feel the difference between 600 and 900 TT. I was self administrating.) Now my testos sans any medications was 390 ng/dl in Jan and 348 ng/dl (264-916 ng/dL) in April. While the boron appeared to have lowered my shbg, it also lowered my TT, the net effect was higher FT. Or maybe it was some other reason for the fall in TT, a bit hard to tell, these things do fluctuate. But I am not sure what a doctor on here can tell you, there are general guidelines, many people react the same way, but a significant number of men don't get the same results with the same protocols, so your individual response will vary. Perhaps a doctor will respond to your general question, or you could also start the process, pay Defy for an evaluation, and discuss your concerns with one of their doctors or some other TRT doctor specialist. Or like I said, give it a try and stop. Whatever your decision, take care and good luck. [/QUOTE]
