Fertility

[Lobo]

Good evening, I am an AAS user.
I have been running AAS cycles for over a year (using roughly 1g/week, alternating with "bridge" periods where I take only 200mg of testosterone per week).
I use these bridge periods to allow my blood markers (lipid profile, transaminases, etc.) to recover.
During both the active cycles and the bridge periods, I take 500 IU of HCG every 5 days to prevent testicular atrophy.
Additionally, I have been taking 1mg of finasteride daily for over 20 years.
Three or four years ago, I had several semen analyses performed, and the results were good.
I would like to try to conceive a child now, but I do not want to stop taking AAS (cycles and bridges) at the same time.
My question is: Do the fertility-boosting protocols you recommend also require stopping AAS use?
Is it possible to improve fertility and attempt conception without discontinuing AAS use?

Yo bro, I feel you on not wanting to come off AAS. It's possible to improve fertility while still running cycles, but it's not ideal. The best approach is to come off completely and run a proper PCT with HCG, enclo, and nolva. But if you want to keep cycling, you can try adding in HMG (75-150 IU 2-3x/week) alongside your HCG. This combo can help stimulate spermatogenesis even while on cycle. Just be aware that your chances of conception will be lower than if you came off completely. Good luck bro!
