    Default Do I need to come off for HCG to restore fertility?

    I was clinically low before I abused anything, been on TRT for 6 years. Currently shooting blanks as expected, but the wife and I are reconsidering another kid. Urologist tells me I need to come off for HCG to actually work. After it's restored, I can go back on and maintain with HCG.
    Anyone have experience or insight? Any tips on not killing someone while my levels are through the floor and I feel like a sack of crap? LOL

    Currently taking 200mg/week test cyp and 150/week deca (not from a doctor).

    Thanks!

    Your Doc's advice might be the best option. hCG will maintain fertility when coadmistered from the start but that far down the line is a crap shoot. hCG can really drive your T numbers up so your may actually go higher on it.

    Yeah. I think I am going to give it a run. Discomfort now may not be worth regret for life...just curious if others tried it.
    I have ZERO hope that HCG will do much for my test levels, at age 24 I had never used anything hormonal and my levels for a year were between 200 and 240. So apparently my balls are natural failures. LOL.

    If you were secondary (LH/FSH issues) you should have a decent response to hCG.

    ^^ This. I have seen several guys that were secondary be able to come back ok with hCG. No way to tell for sure but its worth a shot.

    Unfortunately all my tests were normal everything, just low test levels. At this point, I'll give it a shot and report back any changes. Worst case scenario, I feel like a sack of crap for 4-6 weeks, but at least I have no regrets later. Thanks for the input.

    How about dropping Test to 100mg weekly on top of the hCG? The studies I've seen using test as a contraceptive were dosed at 200mg/week to stop sperm production. At lower levels test is less inhibitory to the testes sperm production so you may be able to have your cake and eat it too.

    Dave P. years ago wrote about high dosed cycles restoring fertility due to the increase in ITT levels. I ran a high dosed test cycle (1200mg) yrs ago and my testes increased in size from TRT and my wife conceived our daughter during that timeframe.
