Many TRT regimens are counter to healthy sperm. Drugs like anastrozole or clomid are sometimes used along with HCG depending on the circumstances.


HCG might have some risks as far as prions and Clomid makes most people that need testosterone feel like crap. It’s a shame we don’t have better options.


It's a risk/reward situation. I hope we find better options, but it seems like a really delicate situation. The studies in this area always seem really small, but the problem seems much bigger. I think people attribute failure to the other partner to such a great extent that people try for long enough that some healthy enough sperm do their job. It takes people a long time to seek help when it's really easy to check the sperm.


Pretty sure all hCG these days is recombinant.


Oh no, at least as of a few years ago the recombinant HCG was super expensive. My insurance paid for $3000 of it and then stopped, which I believe was about 3 months for me.
