Here’s my situation: I never planned on having kids, so I used steroids for a long time without HCG.
But at some point, I realized I did want to become a father. Actually, I’d go even further — I believe having a child is essential if you want to grow as a person. It’s the biggest responsibility anyone can take: being accountable not just for yourself, but for another life. It’s a deeper, philosophical part of life.
I’ve now been on HMG, HCG, and various supplements for a year and a half. I’m planning to get a semen analysis soon, but honestly, I’m not confident about the results.
That’s why I strongly advise thinking about this in advance. Even if you’re not planning to have children right now — just freeze your sperm, just in case. It gives you options later and might save you from a lot of regret.
