question from a user
Currently on trt cream, no hcg. Talking about starting family with my wife, wondering what the best way to boost fertility without coming off would be?
AlphaMD's Answer
Without coming off of TRT, then hCG would be the typical recommendation. This will raise intratesticular testosterone levels and restart sperm production. 75% of men on TRT and hCG can produce enough sperm to adequately get a woman pregnant. So, those are good odds, but you need to be aware that some men will have to come off of TRT completely for fertility purposes.
