The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.
So that said, it has the benefit that Clomid does, which is it preserves testicular function. It preserves testicular volume. So, you know, body builders will often use this in their post-cycle therapy, as a way to kind of recover function. And we would just use it now as ongoing therapy for a guy who still has testicular reserve.
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
their endogenous testosterone levels are going to be very low, and their sperm counts are going to be very low, unless, for instance, they are prescribed and taking something like hCG, human chorionic gonadotropin, which mimics LH and would stimulate the testes to produce testosterone and through some indirect pathways rescue spermatogenesis, although not to the same degree as if people are not taking exogenous sources of testosterone.
um HCG human chonic gonadotrope and I hear about a lot of people who go on testosterone therapy who take HCG every other day or so um typically the dosages that I hear about because people write to me about this stuff all the time really it's one of the most commonly asked questions um I get many questions about many topics but I would say a full 10 to 20% of them are about um penises or testosterone um those is perfect then right exactly um so a number of those um guys who are taking test testosterone will be prescribed HCG to um stimulate sperm production um endogenous sperm production to maintain um healthy sperm presumably because they either want to conceive or are intending to conceive in the future
yeah that's one of the therapies that we use and I think it can work well
So if you pin you know more frequently versus twice a week the halflife of hcg I believe is 24 to 36 hours off the top of my head. I'd have to double check, but if you are going to an everyday schedule, you're probably going to m maintain more stable serum concentration.
