500mg test e/week - will it screw up my sperm count?

[pee-wee]

wow man - that's a huge drop...and on such a small dose - pretty crazy!! i have never used hcg either on cycle or pct...although now i wish i would have...i just had no idea count could drop to zero with that dose. i had blood tests done a few days ago and go in to see a urologist at the end of next week. i suspect that my test will still be higher than the average guy (which won't help my case), but i'm also thinking that my fsh and lh will have to be low (hence no sperm) - in any case, i'm really hoping that he will prescribe some clomid or nolvadex and hcg. if not, i'll have to find a doc who will or i will have to wait for an online order...which unfortunately will probably take 2-3 weeks to get here. i was just about to order my pct as i still was planning to run the test for another 4 weeks and so now i'm kinda screwed as i had to cut things short. lastly, to answer your question, i am 34 and the reason for the urgency is that me and the little lady are trying to have kids...which is pretty hard with no sperm

Pee wee- how old are you? Did you use hcg or hmg throughout?

This is a good topic and I don't want to hijack but we've all had similar experiences. My count went to zero after 8 months of hrt dose (100-150) which wasn't supposed to destroy production since it was physiological dose. The kicker is my count was over 100 million 8 months ago.

My lab work just came back and I have my fingers crossed. I feel like hell this week but it might be allergies, been off hrt for over two months. The doc has results in front of him and he hasn't called yet. Its driving me crazy. I am hoping for hcg/hmg trial or even a test/hcg/hmg combo.

Pogo - if you are truly concerned about your count I would hold off on the test/eq.

I've read on the internet that the whole sperm production process takes 74 days. feedback loop, etc.

Doc left results on message yesterday. LH, FSH, Prolactin, dht and free test all in normal range. Test came back 562 and sperm count was 26 million. That's low but hell of a lot better than 0. I think I'm still recovering and those numbers will be back up to 100 million in a few months.

I know some guys that got their girls preg on cycle and some that can't now being off for 3 years, and his count was high before because he has two kids already, and he has been on clomid, a-dex and HCG. My count is also very low, i'm going to try HCG and hopefully HMG here very soon.

 

[pee-wee]

just curious...if my doc does prescribe hcg and clomid next week, that means i would start it approx 3 weeks after ending a 12 week cycle of test e. (and i know that 10-14 days is generally the ideal)...if he doesn't and i have to order something online, that will be starting pct approx 5 weeks after last shot (assuming it takes 2 weeks to get here). is this really going to screw things up or what?? any recommendations would be appreciated

wow it looks like i am definitely going to have to hold off for a long while... i thought being at 10.5 million was good since the reference range was 20million - my urologist said "only takes one" and he wont give me anything since my tests have improved (although its been almost 2 years !!!!!!!!)
man oh man why me !!!

 

[pee-wee]

hey, at least you got some, right? i'd be happy with just a few little swimmers. never again will i run a cycle without hcg...probably will never run another cycle again for that matter. anyhow, glad to hear your numbers are at least climbing and artificialaspirations - happy to hear that your numbers are also getting back up there. be sure to let me know if you discover any other method to help boost counts quickly and effectively

i used clomid @ 50-25 mg for 3 weeks.

Doc wants another test level and sperm count in 6 weeks. I'll post results

yah - i'm hoping to at least convince my urologist to prescribe me some clomid next week (even if he won't go for the hcg). i just hate the fact that even if he does it will still be starting 3 weeks after last shot...hope that doesn't f$#k things up too bad. i knew i should have had all my pct in line before starting my cycle...even though i was originally planning on going for another 4 weeks - you just never know what could interfer with your cycle and don't want to be stuck in a position similar to mine without any

HCG with HMG will bring your count back up.

I did HCG and HMG and it didnt help my count. - Not sure if I didnt dose it properly or what though.
