getting the wife pregnant

[durak]

Despite popular belief, HCG does NOT help with fertility. Fertility requires FSH and HCG only stimulates LH.

Clomid stimulates both LH and FSH.

HMG stimulates FSH.

One should first try a good dose of clomid (do not know doses or length).

HMG is the big gun that you can use (if you can afford to).

There is also the potential use of low dose clomid while on TRT to maintain or regain fertility over time.

Then there was a chink in the armor. As most of you know and probably gather, I'm on HRT (Includes Test, HCG, DHEA, Pregnenolone, Adex, B12).

My HCG protocol is 300iu x 2/wk. Last BW on July 9 revealed LH & FSH to both be 0.2> (Yes, in the dumps).

For the purpose of trying to take my wife off of BC pills to get her natural levels, and possibly start HRT, it was desired that I take a semen analysis to assess the risk of her getting pregnant. Here are my results:

Component Your Value Standard Range
ANALYSIS TIME, SEMEN 1215
SEMEN VOLUME 2.0 >1.9 mL
WBC COUNT, SEMEN <=1 <=1
SPERMATOZOA, NORMAL % 65 >29 %
SPERM COUNT, SEMEN 48 >19 M/mL
SPERMATOZOA, IMMOTILE % 30
SPERMATOZOA, NONPROGRESSIVELY
MOTILE %, SEM FLD 40
SPERM SLOW PROGRESSIVE %, SEMEN 20
SPERM RAPID PROGRESSIVE %, SEMEN 10
SPERM, PROGRESSIVELY MOTILE, TOTAL,
SEMEN 29 >59 MILL/SPEC

thats true to an extent, but remember hCG which increases LH, boosts intratesticular testosterone which is an important part in spermatogenesis. So it can improve the chances, but yes HMG is a better option.
