Here's the story.... I've done a bunch of cycles. I can't even count how many. Every cycle I've ever done, I always do a thorough and extensive PCT with Clomid, Nolv and HCG. I've seen 2 different ways that HCG is ran, and tried both myself. The first way is to run small doses (500 iu) throughout the cycle every 5 days or so and stop the HCG when you start the clomid and nolv. The other way I've seen is to start the HCG when you start the PCT itself. To take a large shot (5000iu), 4 days later 2500iu, continue the 2500iu every 4th day for 16 days, then a 1250iu shot and you're done. However, I've never seen any studies that back up either one of these methods.

Okay, so my girlfriend and I are trying to have a kid. I went and did a couple semen analysis' and they both cam back with zero sperm. So I go to a urologist and he perscribes me to shoot 3000iu of HCG every 3rd day for 8-12 weeks and see if that will fix it. If not I will have to go on to more extensive means to regain my natural sperm production.

So my questions is, has anyone found some no shit solid research that shows which way, if any, is the best way to include HCG in your cycle or in your PCT? Obviously the deal with my urologist has been researched and is the common protocall for my type of situation amongst specialists in this field. It makes me wonder if the two methods I spoke of ealier are effective for reversing testicular atrophy but ineffective for solving the problem of sperm production after a cycle.

Anyone with a solid background and experience is welcome to chime in.


Thanks,
