Cycling 3 Weeks Testogel/1 Week HCG for Fertility Reasons

Pharma / TRT Testosterone Replacement

Hi guys,

so I recently started TRT with Testogel which works fine for me so far. I’ve been on this protocol for 5 weeks.

My reason for starting TRT were low T levels which I could’t raise above 340ng/dl despite diet/lifestyle optimization/supplementation - I’m 32 years old. I had mostly psychiological issues like low mood, fatigue, anxiety, sweat and so on. I feel quite better in this regard while I’m on the gel, my resilience is much better and my libido is also back.

In Germany where I live, docs either will prescribe you Testo Undecanoate (one injection for 3 months which sucks) or the gel - so I prefer the gel because it works fine for me so far
I know a lot of guys here have a negative opinion on transdermal TRT and gels/topicals in general, but that’s really not the point I want to discuss.

Furthermore, I’m interested in preserving fertility on TRT because maybe I want to get children in 1-2 years So my idea is the following - to cycle between Testogel and HCG. I thought of:

  • 3 weeks on testogel (application everyday once, max. twice)
  • followed by a 1 week break from testogel - instead taking 1.000 IUs of subcutaneous applied HCG

Then continue 3 weeks on testogel again and so on.

What do you think? Will this allow for stable T levels while avoiding infertility and testicular atrophy? Any comment is really appreciated.

Kind regards

I’d start worrying about this in 1-2 years then, minus 3 months.

The gels operate so quick I’d get LH & FSH checked to see if you’re even getting a lot of suppression. Nasal gel and oral versions don’t show the same shutdown as injections, so gel may be similar

Hi ok thanks man I think I will do a blood test in the follow weeks to see where I’m actually at.
