question from a user
Does it make sense to not take HCG currently if your plan to have kids is in, let's say, 5 years? Instead, you start taking HCG after those 5 years to bring back your fertility? This way you save money over that period and still have fertility to have kids.
AlphaMD's Answer
Yes, that makes sense. Every study on the subject has shown that hCG causes a return of fertility. In fact, 75% of men on TRT become fertile while also taking hCG. We recommend that you wait until about 6-12 months before you plan on trying to conceive to start hCG.
