LH levels on TRT

[MikeXL]

TRT often results in complete shut down of luetinizing hormone (LH). With very low or no LH, the testes receive little or no stimulation (to produce Test) resulting in reduced fertility and teste size. In addition, some hypothesize that LH may have a function other than instructing the testes to produce T.
HCG is an analog of and mimics LH.

HCG is often used while on TRT to directly stimulate the testes for cosmetic or fertility purposes. And if LH does have a function other than stimulating the testes, HCG would provide that benefit as well.


My question is - rather than use HCG which mimics LH, is there a drug or natural compound that stimulates the pituitary to secret actually LH WHILE being on T injections? I realize that clomid and Nolva can do so if the patient is not taking testosterone, but would they do so if the man was taking T injections ??

Looking forward to the answer to this because a friend who uses a local doctor is doing weekly cyp shots and clomid the first 5 days of each month. Seemed to be a contradiction to me and very odd...

Loki - let's stay close on this. I am interested in your friends results

Will do... Seemed like a strange protocol to me... He is only 22 as well..

One would presume that if there were a drug or supplement/herb/amino acid that could stim the Pituitary to produce LH, we wouldn't be on Test, or HCG, for that matter. So in my mind its a dead question.

HMG stimulates both FSH and LH, but costs a ton of money and for all practical TRT purposes HCG works well and it is inexpensive. Which begs the question of why use something else? "If it an't broke, don't fix it" right?

The points ERO makes are expanded in this thread.
