Hi,
Long term lurker.
My wife and I have been trying to conceive for several years. Last year we had a failed ivf cycle.
At the time my semen analysis was poor; 1m total. Motility was good and morphology was ok at 4%.
I came off fully end of last year. I have been using hcg and hmg at 1500iu / 75iu 3x per week since. More recently I added clomid at 25mg Ed.
Bloods in October and then last week were the same;
T - 2.7 nmol
E - 46 pmol
Fsh 0.2 uh
Lh 1 uh
Clearly I am not recovering.
I've been using at home sperm tests and have gone from 1m to 30m, but dipped to 4m in January for some reason.
The urologist wants me to stay off, but I've had ED now for 2 months, which amongst everything else is killing my marriage (as well as feeling shit).
I'd like people's opinion and experience who have been through this. Am I better off going back to trt?
In Dec 22 justin harris, who was my coach at the time suggested 2g t weekly. But I never committed to it as I've never gone even close to that high. Now I am considering it as we really want a family, buy I fear if it doesn't work it will set us back 3-6 months.
Input greatly appreciated.
