Finally figured out my main issue (varicocele)
So after years of searching, I finally had a general practitioner discover a varicocele on my left side (typical location)... Something even my urologist didn't find and endo didn't, even after searching around.
I have an appointment coming up with a fertility specialist in my urological center. They're going to do an ultrasound, semen analysis and possible surgery for it.
So with the varicocele and pituitary microadenoma that I have, I guess I was basically screwed from all sides - top and bottom. At least now I know
I've been on TRT for a few years now. I guess this means after the surgery, my HCG may work better? Also, I assume I would remain on TRT since it's been ongoing a few years already?
Currently I am on HCG monotherapy again until I join a new local clinic due to new laws against shipping meds out of state. My last clinic was not in NY. I'm not sure what's going on with the monotherapy as I've just taken new labs yesterday to see what it's doing for me, but I swear I am having the most painful night time erections right now, for a few weeks or so.. the type of wood that won't go away even if I will it... I've almost been thinking it's priapism but it's not, I don't think. Been back on monotherapy for a month or so. 150-200iu HCG eod, 12.5mg aromasin eod.
I'll post up my hcg monotherapy labs in a week when I get them, in case people want to see. I don't expect them to be great since I have the varicocele.
