question from a user
While on a standard trt protocol (200 weekly) + hcg, at what testosterone level can one maintain fertility?
AlphaMD's Answer
We do not necessarily agree with 200mg weekly being a "standard" dose. It is actually the highest use case dose that the DEA considers normal treatment, which is probably why many places may start there as it is "safe" from a DEA review standpoint. Though, this is a different topic & I'll get back on point.
Doses around that range and the ranges that we use, typically starting around 140mg-160mg, someone who is actively looking to have a child would be taking 500ius of HCG 2 to 3 times a week. At that HCG dosage ~75% of men are able to have a child, while the other 25% may need to cycle off Testosterone (which is sometimes related to low fertility in their partners, as well).
