I’ve been on TRT consistently for a little over 10 years due to hypogonadism. My dose is 200mg per week.
The wife and I are looking to start a family. I had an appointment with my endo about this and he told me to stop taking testosterone cypionate and he prescribed me HCG to take for three months.
It’s now been two weeks since I’ve stopped test cyp and I’m definitely beginning to feel the effects of not having it. I am finally going to get my prescription for HCG tomorrow after finally getting coverage approval from my insurance.
I have taken HCG at various points in the past, both as monotherapy and as added to TRT with anastrozole. The last time I added HCG to my TRT routine, I had very visible and very uncomfortable water retention in my face and chest as a side effect. I am worried this side effect may return as I begin HCG again.
Has anyone had any luck of having children while on TRT or while taking TRT with HCG? Will I have less chance of this water retention side effect if I only take HCG without test cyp?
