[QUOTE="HealthMan, post: 138586, member: 13512"] If you could get that info and share with us would be helpful. An aggravating fact is that you stayed a very long time with both LH and FSH supressed. Data shows that it takes longer for sperm production to resume the longer you are on TRT (in this specific study patients simply quit TRT). I would assume this is also true if you are just adding HCG and FSH to your TRT regimen. Hypothetically there are two things in play: the time the HPT axis takes to “wake up” and start producing LH and FSH again + the time your HPT axis was shut down and your sertoli and leydig cells were “dormant”. By adding HCG + FSH to TRT you will eliminate the first component so in theory sperm production should resume sooner than what shown in studies where patients simply quit TRT (that assuming proper dosages and application intervals of HCG and FSH are being used). In this study, if i am not mistaken, the longest it took for men to become fertilite again was 2 years. So you just recently added FSH (2-3 months) so give it at least a few more months. My sperm count went back to “normal” 6 months after adding FSH (however I didn’t have a sperm analysis done in the 3 months mark to compare). If I were you I would keep your protocol for at least 3 more months and retest (maybe just change one thing. Inject FSH EOD instead of 3x a week due to its short half life). After 3 months get another sperm analysis done and go from there. An increase in FSH dosage might be warranted if sperm count hasn’t significantly improved by then. Also make sure you are getting your meds from a reputable source. Best of luck and keep us posted [/QUOTE]
