After years on TRT and multiple AAS cycles, I was fully suppressed and diagnosed with azoospermia (zero sperm count). My goal was to restore testicular function, increase intratesticular testosterone, and recover fertility.
HCG was used to directly stimulate the testes and reverse long-term suppression.
How did you use this product?
HCG was used at 500 IU, 2–3 times per week.
Total duration of use
In this case approximately 6 months, using it untill now as part of trt.
Did you stack it with other compounds?
Yes.
HCG was combined with:
Enclomiphene 25 mg daily
Targeted fertility supplementation (zinc, vitamin D3, CoQ10, L-carnitine, omega-3, NAC, selenium, etc.)
The goal was full HPTA recovery and sperm production restoration without using HMG.
Results & effectiveness
What changes did you notice while using this product?
Within 2–3 weeks, testicular size and fullness started to return.
Energy and mood gradually improved. Libido improved by around week 6–8.
By month 3, ejaculate volume increased significantly.
By month 6, semen analysis confirmed the presence of sperm after previously confirmed azoospermia.
Final bloodwork after 6 months:
Total Testosterone: 19.4 nmol/L
LH: 5.2 IU/L
FSH: 4.8 IU/L
Fertility was restored enough to proceed with IVF using my own sperm.
How soon did you start noticing effects?
Testicular response and fullness within 2–3 weeks. Hormonal improvements within 4–8 weeks. Confirmed sperm recovery around month 6.
How did the results compare to your expectations?
They exceeded expectations. I was initially told I might need HMG or donor sperm. Recovering fertility without HMG was beyond what I realistically expected.
Side effects & tolerance
Did you experience any side effects or negative changes?
No significant side effects.
Some mild transient water retention early on, but no major estrogen-related issues. Regular monitoring helped keep everything stable.
Injection pain / discomfort (if applicable)
Minimal.
Subcutaneous injections were easy and well tolerated, with no significant injection site pain.
Overall tolerance
Very good.
Well tolerated over 6 months with steady improvement in testicular function and fertility markers.
Final thoughts
Would you use this product again? Why or why not?
Yes in a fertility or recovery context
Would you recommend this product to others?
Yes, especially to men recovering from long-term TRT or anabolic steroid use who are trying to restore fertility.
It should be used strategically, with bloodwork monitoring and patience.

The main goal of adding HCG was to maintain testicular function and activity during the cycle. Specifically, I wanted to prevent suppression-related discomfort and preserve normal physiological function.
How did you use this product?
I administered 350 IU every 3.5 to 4 days, starting from week 4 of the cycle.
The dosage remained consistent and was not adjusted during use.
Total duration of use
Used continuously from week 4 onward throughout the remainder of the cycle.
Did you stack it with other compounds?
Yes. HCG was used as a supportive compound during a cycle to maintain testicular activity.
Results & effectiveness
What changes did you notice while using this product?
The primary effect was maintenance of testicular function.
There was no noticeable shrinkage, no discomfort, and no testicular pain during use.
The compound effectively kept testicular activity stimulated throughout the suppression phase.
Comparison observation
A colleague who did not use HCG experienced testicular pain after approximately 2–3 months. He only started using HCG afterward, and the pain resolved after about one month of use.
In contrast, since I implemented HCG proactively from week 4 onward, I did not experience any testicular pain at any point.
How soon did you start noticing effects?
There were no acute “felt” effects, but the absence of suppression-related discomfort was noticeable over time. The benefit was mainly preventive rather than performance-enhancing.
How did the results compare to your expectations?
The results met expectations. The product performed as intended in maintaining testicular function and preventing discomfort.
Side effects & tolerance
Did you experience any side effects or negative changes?
No noticeable side effects were experienced.
Injection pain / discomfort (if applicable)
No significant injection discomfort was observed.
Overall tolerance
Overall tolerance was good. The compound was well handled without complications.
Final thoughts
Would you use this product again? Why or why not?
Yes. Based on my experience, it was very effective in maintaining testicular function and preventing discomfort.
Would you recommend this product to others?
It may be beneficial for individuals running suppressive cycles who want to preserve testicular activity during use.
Who is this product best suited for?
Best suited for users running suppressive compounds who want to maintain endogenous testicular function during the cycle.
Additional comment
From my experience, starting HCG proactively rather than reactively made a significant difference. Maintaining testicular stimulation throughout the cycle appeared to prevent discomfort entirely.
