HMG killing my sex drive?

[Slr722]

I started HMG about 1.5 months ago at 75iu eod along side 5000iu of hcg, 50mg clomid ed and 1mg adex eod. Prior I was clomid, adex, hcg, and nolva. Since I started the HMG my sex drive which was low, has gone way down. Is the HMG doing more harm than good? Is this normal?

Is your HMG:

- pharma or generic?
- recombinant or urine-derived?

Also…
Why are you doing HMG? Are you trying to conceive?

Keep things simple. If you don’t NEED it, save it for when you do.

I’m not sure what youre running, but thats a lot of clomid and adex too. I haven’t taken clomid in a decade, and I take adex every third day or less.

All those things have the potential to mess up your levels…and sex drive.

Have you had a blood test recently?

Scratch that…just saw your IVF posts.

HMG has been shown to decrease libido.

Rock and a hard place…HMG to help have a baby, yet HMG can prevent you from doing the deed.

You're on a legit libido killer stack. Clomiphene and Arimidex. Some guys get higher libido from HCG/HMG (We have LH/FSH receptors in the brain).


It's unlikely the HMG, just the other stuff finally catching up. HMG is one of the most effective fertility meds you can take. It's very effective.


Are you using that stack for fertility or as HRT?

 

[TomJ]

you are on a metric fuck ton of adex for presumably zero testosterone.

Where did you read that?

why 1mg of adex eod ?

1mg adex eod

No Test, and 1 mg Adex EOD? I don't understand this at all tbh. No wonder your libido is crushed, your e2 must be in the single digits, thus explaining the libido issues.

For reference, I can take like 1500 mg of Test for 1 mg Adex EOD

 

[ape1nope]

Where did you read that?

In Fertility and Sterility Medical Journal, Volume 62, No 1.

I actually went and re-read it just now. I originally read it a long time ago and always took as fact. Turns out its pretty old, and possibly incorrect.

Basically it theorizes that HMG can indirectly increase testosterone levels, which when left unchecked can cause libido issues due to other hormones (ie estro) being out of balance.

So no proven direct correlation between HMG and libido loss.

Its not conclusive either. So I retract my previous statement.

I don’t think HMG is the issue here anyway.

why 1mg of adex eod ?

Probably the 5000iu of hcg eod i would need that much adex on that does. Nothing spikes my e2 like a bucket load of hcg

You probably need to read up on hcg

 

[laxfan24]

I ran 75iu HMG M/W/F/Sun
500iu HCG T/Th/Sat
I stayed on 300mg Test C
No Anti E's/Clomid, etc
The HMG is the real star of the show. Be patient and consistent with it. I got my wife pregnant with 7 months of trying. My original sperm count was undetectable.

But as far as i understand Hcg makes estrogen in the testies locally wich and AI cant get to ?

If you're not on exogenous Test and your main source of elevated estradiol is intratesticular E2, an AI won't correct that.

All i know is i get nipple flare ups and have to take an ai when i take hcg

Im actually running a fertility protocol now with 3000iu a week of hcg and 75mg of test a week. I take 12.5mg of aromasin 3 x week to keep the nips in check
