Overview:
36M - long term AAS user (10 years) trying to regain fertility to get wife pregnant.
Went for sperm analysis and results came back ZERO.
Lab results 1:
Test: over 1500
Estrogen: 18
FSH and LH - zero
Saw a Urologist. Told me to cut exogenous test and put me on 2000 iu hcg 3x week.
Cut back to TRT (250 mg/week) for 8 weeks then dropped test completely for 3. Felt TERRIBLE. Zero libido, chronic fatigue, brain fog, etc. also added HMG 35 iu 3x/ week.
Latest labs (3 months later)
test 412
estrogen 6.8
FSH 0.4
LH 0.3
Sperm analysis 3 months in - 20 million.
I added back TRT bc sides were Killing me. Increased hmg to 75 iu 3x/week
Got another Sperm analysis 4 months in - 50 million!
I was extremely excited. Still no pregnancy but I had some saved for iui / ivf. Motility fine on number 2 but poor on number 3.
Question - anyone had luck going from zero sperm count to fertile while on TRT? I’m not sure if the increase was from hmg or 3 weeks off plus hcg kicker.
Any success stories? I’m afraid if I stay on TRT again I might go back to ground zero with my sperm count.
