Looking for Folks Who Were on TRT+HCG Who Stopped for Fertility Reasons

I’ve been on 100mg of Test-E and 1200ius of HCG every week for 18 months. I started HCG in the very beginning as I wanted to start a family and the time has now come. I’ve had 2 semen analysis done and both show a low count (10 million and 12 million). I still have some swimmers but it’s very low. I’ve made the decision to get off TRT so I can get the wife pregnant, freeze some sperm and then get back on later down the rode. From all the literature I have read, your sperm comes back within 3-6 months, rare times 12-24 months and in the extreme rare times, ever again.

When I first saw met with my endo 18 months ago, he actually advised against freezing sperm as he said it wasn’t necessary as HCG will do the trick which I now regret. I’ve spent the last week doing research and have decided to get off via PCT. I will cut the T shots for 3 weeks, continue with the HCG and run Nolva at 10mg for 6-8 weeks. My goal is to get my body to baseline and where it was 18 months ago. I would do clomid but it’s unfortunately not available her in Canada and I also have underlying eye issues. I had a detached retina with one my eyes and I try to protect my other good eye.

My question for you folks, has anyone gone gotten off Testosterone for the sake of fertility? How long did it take for you to get your sperm back and how long to get your partner pregnant? Anyone care to chime with my plan and PCT?

Have you tried using this nifty little thing before?

Yes I have, which is why I made this thread. From what I’ve researched, most long term folks on TRT have had success adding HCG when needed. I’ve been on HCG from the very beginning and my count came very low which doesn’t make any sense.

I’m wondering if a Nolva pct to restart my HPTA will get me back to where I was prior to stating to T.
