Didnt know if this fitted more here or in TRT directly
Been on test since 2018.
My girl and I are planning to get pregnant.
First result showed very low sperm.
Added HCG at 1500 IU EOD.
After aprox 3 months these are the results.
Where would you go from here?
Is this good enough for IUI or is IVF prefered? Albeit IVF is very expensive and im sure - for her - an energy consuming process.
Should i add some hmg?
What is the best route of action here?
Thankyou
Contacting a fertility specialist with experience and not asking a bunch of meatheads .
I was about to write this. Then I saw your post.
thx for all the help i can get
I used 1000 IU of HCG thrice per week with TRT for two kids. So you are using a good amount.
Are you seeing a urologist, preferably that deals with men’s sexual health?
Yes mate but im currently in a country where they are truly “bad” at stuff like that, so to speak. They know very little about this.
Wont go back to sweden until 2 years so .. im stuck here with this
I definitely agree with this but also I maybe am able to contribute a couple of things that are helpful. Spermatogenesis is basically an FSH thing and HCG raises FSH a little but it’s mostly a focus on LH as far as what I’ve seen in red. HMG does seem to be a better ratio of FSH but very expensive. However it’s much more expensive to go the other route which is mixing recombinant FSH with the HCG although that is probably the most effective thing that I have heard of. Also because you have been on testosterone I’m sure you’re LH and FSH is shut down after 7 years of being on it but it’s not impossible to come back and I’ve heard of people getting off of trt and doing a hardcore PCT and staying on that plus several supplements that can increase sperm volume like sunflower lethecin and many others… and supps that help get the LH and FSH to Peak levels like fadogia and anacyclus and many others.. And hopefully nut size can be restored with hcg and fsh or whatever combo the fertility doctor gets you on.. but if not, bulbine natalensis as well as the fadogia.. some people think it’s BS to be able to affect gonadotropin and testicular function and size with herbs and supplements but anybody can just put on their investigator cap and do a meta analysis and there are plenty of supplements that claim this and that that do not actually do what the label says and some supplements don’t have the amount that the label says but there are truly truly truly natural ways to enhance what the doctor puts you on and of course you want to tell him that you’re going to be doing those things so he understands what’s happening as he monitors you. Getting constant blood tests is going to be really important in the beginning until you get into that sweet spot where things are working at the minimal effective dose and hopefully with great effectivity so I hope that’s helpful to you bro I have spent hours and hours reading every day for the last 6 months because I am very ill and I had to get a lot of blood taken in it turns out that hypothalamus pituitary access is all out of whack and I just had to find out what to do because I can’t get an appointment with the endocrinologist on the island that I live on for another 6 months. I can tell you from personal experience that I have seen changes in firm volume and viscosity and the amount of white scene in the substance and I have seen my testicles grow a lot in size and I have a list of things that I discovered in my investigation that do actually work and I’ve tried several of them and combined them one at a time to make sure I could distinguish what was helping and to what extent. But I think the first comment is the best comment and after you see the doctor and get Bloods taken and get on a regimen and keep getting Bloods taken and find that sweet spot if you’re still not satisfied post something on This Thread and I’ll shoot you a list of all of the stuff that I’ve found in my searching regarding natural estrogen reducers and natural prolactin reducers and natural LH increasers FSH increases and testicle size increases along with semen volume and quality and quantity of sperm with good motility. And I can show you the studies that use double-blind placebo methods and the meta-analysis comparing other double-blind placebo methods from different companies or Laboratories with similar goals as far as desired results and proposed theories. I thought it was all Bs until I started reading. And of course you can’t trust everything you read but I found sources that after time I felt I was able to distinguish credible from garbage. I read a lot of studies from different universities and private Laboratories and it is absolutely amazing what nature offers us and what chemistry offers us outside of what gets prescribed as the remedy. And of course I would never suggest you do something illegal so make sure everything that you do in your journey here back to testicular health is above board. Sorry that sounded like a demand or something but it’s just good advice. Also I’m not sure since you can’t hear the tone of my voice and can’t see facial expressions.. it may be that I come across as an arrogant know it all who’s bragging about all the research he’s done but I was mostly just trying to let you know that there are resources that are trustworthy
