Fertility - my experience

[Biggerp73]

This is what I’m doing at the moment after we had a total failure from our last ivf cycle. 6 high quality blastocysts, 2 miscarriages and 4 failures.

Last time I came off completely for I think about 6-7 months; after 3 months whilst taking hcg and hmg for about 9 months at that point my sperm was around 30m per ml but high dna frag. Had varicocele surgery.

This time I’m trying what justin Harris suggested I do originally which is what you’re referring to. Hcg 6000iu per week, 300iu hmg, 25mg clomid daily and 2g test (although I’m at 1.5 as it’s gotten painful lol).

It’s been about 5 weeks so far, so il retest in about 3-5 weeks.

Since the test went in my motility has dramatically improved to around 70%. But morphology and count as still down. Morphology will be my thyroid which I’ll correct and the count should come up soon with the above.

I’ve been off all AAS for two months using HMG and Clomid to boost my fertility after having it tested and finding 30m count but virtually no motility and very poor morphology. From what I found when I researched, the exogenous testosterone needs to be ceased in order to promote the motility and morphology even when taking HMG. In fact I had been using HMG non stop for a year when my semen was tested. My only guess for why morphology and mobility were low was because the exogenous AAS.

Based on all my tests last year the thing that was killing my morphology was my thyroid. I have an overactive thyroid and the worse that was, the worse my morphology was. When I got that into normal range my morphology began to rise.

I noticed a positive relationship between exogenous testosterone and motility.

Overall count remains unknown though.

For you it might be that your own testosterone levels just aren’t high enough yet.

We are doing ivf so really the motility is somewhat irrelevant and to a degree so is count. What does matter though is dna fragmentation and mine was previously high. That test in the UK is about $1000.

I’ve got quite a bit frozen from last year so if this plan doesn’t work il come off again and continue the hcg / hmg and just see what happens… or revert to the frozen stuff

I have had success with these two protocols; did these protocols while on cycle as well.

For my first born:
Monday/We’d/Friday- 50iu HMG
Sunday/Tues/Th/- 2,000iu HCG
Proviron- 25mg twice a day


My wife is currently pregnant at 10 weeks. This time I did
Gonaderlin Acetate 200mcg twice a week
FSH- 50iu 3/ week.
