For those on HRT. (HMG question)

[Smokescreen]

Anyone here ever used HMG?

Or does everyone just stick to HCG?

From what I have heard its significantly more money and while more powerful, only small amounts of HCG are needed during cycle so I am not sure there is any benefit in using it over HCG. I say use which ever you can get.

Well it does help increase with load size. It does help with FSH. HCG doesnt do that. Correct? It just mimics LH.

 

[Zyglamail]

I havent done much research on HMG but if it doesn stimulate FSH im not sure that it would actually matter that much in terms of the big picture. FSH is produced by the pituitary gland which is repsonsible for many things so even if its not producing FSH, its not going to atrophy and shut down like your testes will.

Here is a small study done with HCG on men where testosterone was used to induce atrophy/shutdown.

HMG Massone is used for stimulating hormone FSH and LH. This simply stimulates your natural test production and keeps hcg working optimally. Your sex drive and sense of well being come back more rapidly then with other treatments as well as your potential for staying or becoming fertile

Actually I dont think thats accurate at all. HMG does NOT stimulate FSH and LH, IT MIMICS them, just like HCG mimics LH, HMG often contains elements that mimic both FSH and LH, it doesnt actually stimulate either.

I meant to say mimic. Either way...it does what its supposed to do. Fsh and lh is better than lh alone.

Maybe in terms of starting the testicles for reproduction, but anytime you introduce something that mimics something else you suppress it. So with HMG you are suppressing both LH and FSH.


HCG has preven effective for restoring test production which is the main concern of most folks cycling. If you want T back AND in a hurry to have kids by all means HCG, but HCG has proven plenty effective as well. Each to their own.

I'm heavily suppressed. Been on hrt for years. On bloodwork, my fsh and lh come out to nil.

I was looking into HMG with my doc but not enough out there yet for him to justify playing with it...however I have read about guys who cycle hcg with Nolvadex while on HRT to keep the balls going....every month or two stopping hcg, and hitting Nolvadex for a week, then back to hcg, somehow is supposed to help keep things in check...over my head though but something cheap to consider looking into
