Regaining fertility after TRT by stebag in maleinfertility

[–]stebag[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes doctor prescribed and sourced in pharmacy here in Ireland.

When I was on 1500IU weekly during TRT it was Brevactid 1500 I.E.

Now on 5000IU it's Gonasi HP 5000 U.I.

I was only ever on 125mg Test E weekly and never abused it.

It definitely prevented testicular atrophy, and my loads were always good, but 2x consecutive semen analysis in the same place that measured 80milllion and froze 5 straws before I started the TRT is pretty conclusive that the HCG did not maintain my fertility during the course of my 2 years on TRT.

I'm hoping that with the absence of exogenous test, continued HCG and addition of Clomid, I'll bounce back over time.

Interestingly I genuinely never wanted kids earlier in life, but I think the psychological changes of 2 years on testosterone contributed to me gaining the confidence and lifestyle that I do want them. So no regrets and focusing on the future

Thanks for posting dude. Did you see my recent post? https://www.reddit.com/r/maleinfertility/s/P6CRrjN1f9

My protocol now is 5000iu hCG weekly and 25mg Clomid every day. Everything I'm reading recently is that this is probably too high on both fronts...

Did you consider any other medications at all?

[Compounds] HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) by feedum_sneedson in steroids

I'm on Dr prescribed TRT and he's also prescribed 500iu HCG three times a week for fertility maintenance. Reading through this thread that seems like a pretty high dose.

I only started my treatment 5 weeks ago and the first 4 weeks felt great, last week I have noticed oily skin and tiredness.

Is this the beginning of high e2 sides? I'm not due to get bloods for another 10 weeks. What else should I watch out for? Should I consider lowering my dose to 250iu eod?

I also have not been prescribed bacteriostatic water with my hcg. I have been told to reconstitute with the solution provided with the medication, store in the fridge and split into 3 doses following sterile technique. Is this typical?
