  1. 307 Total test at age 31. (Infertility, will HCG help?)

    So with the goal of improving fertility and raising test levels, I was prescribed clomid with great results. I was really happy with the results, but had to stop due to visual symptoms. I have my follow up with Dr. Saya next month, looking forward to our next step. The first # was pre-clomid...

  2. 307 Total test at age 31. (Infertility, will HCG help?)

    I called Defy today to see if they had any appointments sooner, and I got to speak with the Dr 45 minutes later (due to a cancellation!) Since fertility is my biggest concern, they are going to start me on Clomid/anastrozole/dhea and asses after 5 weeks. And due to my Hashimotos they are going...

  3. 307 Total test at age 31. (Infertility, will HCG help?)

    My Dr and Urologist got scared of the hCG idea (they have never used that method.) They did give me a referral to the endocrinologist which I will keep on hand, but I chose to goto Defy. My bloodwork is done and I have my consultation on Sept 6th. I'm excited, the days aren't going fast enough...

  4. 307 Total test at age 31. (Infertility, will HCG help?)

    From my Dr: "You have been doing your homework. The HCG study looked promising. I have asked Dr.*** for his opinion as well. I have not given HCG before. Testosterone may also be a possibility. If you do not hear back from me by Wed send me another email. " Thank god I have a Doc who listens.

  6. 307 Total test at age 31. (Infertility, will HCG help?)

    @ 307 Dr told me it was still in the "Low Normal" range for my age, which I disagree with. Now that he reordered it and it came back at 276 hopefully that prompts him to do something, even though the "Low threshold" at my Dr's office is 250. I wrote him my concerns and that I would like to...

  8. 307 Total test at age 31. (Infertility, will HCG help?)

    I had tracers while using clomid, in the past (Years back for pct) so the vision symptoms worry me with using that. Thisis the article that got me interestedin HCG after vericocele surgery: Human chorionic gonadotropin adjuvant therapy for patients with Leydig cell dysfunction after...

  9. 307 Total test at age 31. (Infertility, will HCG help?)

    Did the sperm test they recommend ivf with ICSI. I explained to him that I had the surgery done in November and he agreed my count can rise for up to a year. Now I'm doing all I can to fix what I can before shelling out 10-15k on ivf. My Dr reordered my full hormone labs this morning to see...

  10. 307 Total test at age 31. (Infertility, will HCG help?)

    Well long story short, had a vericocele that I had treated 8 months ago which I had hoped would cure our fertility issues. It raised my sperm count but not enough. Before spending the $ on IVF, I decided to get my labs done again here are the results: TESTOSTERONE: 307 ng/dL Range: 220 - 800...

  11. Any good bulking supplements that are thyroid and reproductive health safe?

    I'm in a spot where I'd like to throw in something mild to assist with bulking back up. I'm lifting 4x a week, and MMA 4X a week. When I was just lifting I was happy with my weight 6 foot 212-215lbs, now that I added an immense amount of cardio I'm dropping weight quickly (Yes I added in extra...

  12. Help stop my weight freefall! Need easy food options.

    I'm running into the same problem I always do while training MMA in which I'm losing weight too fast. I do heavy lifting (3x 8-10 rep range) 4x a week. And have recently added in 2-3 MMA classes as well as 2 Muay Thai classes at week. When I was just lifting I was happy with my weight (I was 6...

  13. VARICOCELE...can it effect testosterone?

    Varicocele Emobolization complete about 15 hours ago. So far 0 pain, they gave me 4 ibuprofen post op which I didn't need. Overall it was a painless experience, but it does take ALL day. I checked in a 11 am, and didn't get to go home until 7 pm. After check in, you hit pre-op, then to meet...

  14. VARICOCELE...can it effect testosterone?

    Unilateral. And yep, I know you cant see them with the naked eye. Hence the microscope at 400x power. Hopefully Im just bad at using microscopes And I never notice any excess heat per se.

  15. VARICOCELE...can it effect testosterone?

    Pain (dull) but its transient, only hurts from time to time. Libido frankly is horrible, and only get morning wood once every two weeks? Erection quality is maybe at 85-90% of what it was in my early 20s. I do not believe I have any atrophy as both sides feel equal when Im not standing up (...
