The wife and I aren't exactly getting any younger, but we've decided to give it one more shot and try for another kid. I just picked up some HCG to help get the sperm count back up to where it needs to be. I've spent a decent amount of time digging through threads about how to dose it and how to manage the E2 spikes, so I feel like I've got the general idea down.
I'm mostly just curious if anyone else here has actually had success with this? When you started the HCG, did you drop your other gear down or did you just add it on top of your current cycle? Also, were there any weird side effects that caught you off guard? I'd really appreciate any advice or personal experiences you guys can share. Thanks!
my wife and i were in the exact same boat last year. i ended up dropping down to a cruise dose of test (like 150mg) and added 500iu of hcg three times a week. it took about 4 months but it worked! just watch out for the mood swings- hcg makes me way more emotional than regular gear lol
congrats on making the jump man! the biggest thing i noticed was the "fullness" coming back down there pretty quick lol. but yeah watch that e2 because hcg aromatizes like crazy for some guys. i had to slightly bump my ai dose just to keep the bloat down. good luck with the process-
honestly if ur trying to be as fertile as possible most guys recommend dropping everything but the hcg and maybe a tiny bit of test. i stayed on a full blast once and it just didnt work. cleaned things up- added hcg and hmg- and we had a positive test 3 months later. stay patient with it-
hcg is definitely the gold standard for this. i didnt really have any weird side effects besides some slight acne on my back that i dont usually get. just be consistent with the pins. consistency is way more important than high doses when it comes to swimming speed haha
we had our "hcg baby" back in 2022 haha. i just added 250iu eod on top of my trt and it did the trick. i will say- my libido went through the roof which i guess is a good thing if ur trying for a kid lol. hope it happens fast for u guys!
