Stopped Test, Increased HCG for Fertility - Having Bad Sides

Pharma / TRT Testosterone Replacement
1

Need some advice please.

I’ve been on TRT on and off for 10 years , long story short I’ve recently stopped Test and have continued on HCG alone 1000iu 3 times per week.

This is for the purpose of fertility been trying for a baby for 6 months whilst on Test ( cypionate ) with 500iu of HCG 3 times per week.

My doc advised remove Test and increase to hcg to maximise fertility.

My sperm count was good on cypionate with hcg but motility and normal forms at low end of normal.

I’m starting to feel like s**t and I’m worried HCG alone will not be well tolerated , I’m interested to know what your opinion and experiences of this are ??

Also is doubling the hcg and removing Test likely to have a big impact on the quality of sperm ??? Different for everyone I know but interesting to get opinions and experiences.

I literally can’t deal with any more crashes and periods of feeling rubbish.

If the fertility benefits are there I might just grin and bear it until wife catches but feel like abandoning it already.

Do most guys feel rubbish on hcg alone??

Hopefully this all makes sense any advice would be appreciated

Have you tried TRT, HCG and FSH?

My doc did discuss adding Menopur but the cost is insane , ( I’m paying for private treatment in the UK)

It has been effective in maintaining and restoring fertility and testicular size.

No.

No.

Yeah a lot of guys feel this way

A lot of people don’t know that HCG only stimulates half of the testicles, and the other half nothing happens.

I think that’s one reason why men struggle to get the same numbers they get on TRT. I mean on TRT the sky’s the limit.

The FSH is going to have the biggest impact on the sperm. It also can be pretty expensive through retail pharmacies.

Thanks for all the comments.

I guess il ride it out for now fsh will be fall back if my wife doesn’t get pregnant.

From what I can see hcg alone or hcg with test probably won’t make much difference in term of sperm counts ??

If I continue to feel awfull I may just renintroduce cypionate.

Man I wish I never messed with my hormones in my 20s !!!

Broski, all you have to do is take the least amount of Test with the most amount of HCG. You can father a child while on both. So maybe 100mg/wk of Test and the max HCG should put you back in flight.
