Hi, I am trying to conceive and just had an appointment with new fertility doctor who is recommending a new protocol as follows;
Fertility Protocol
50 mg Test Cyp per week
3000iu HCG x 3 per week
Arimidex .5mg x 2 per week
Current Protocol
14mg Test Cup daily (98mg week)
500iu HCG x 3 per week (switched from 300iu x 3 per week 2 months ago)
No Arimidex
What are your thoughts on the high dosage of HCG? Seems very high. My semen analysis is much better after increasing to 500iu HCG vs 300iu x 3 per week. Does anyone have experience switching to such a high dose of HCG and low dose of TRT?

Thank you for any feedback.
