Can I stay fertile on TRT if I use HCG at the same time?

Asked in r/trt · Answered by the HeydayMD team ·

My wife and I are planning to start a family in a year or two, but my low T symptoms are becoming unbearable. I've heard TRT can shut down sperm production, so I'm looking for ways to stay fertile while on treatment.

The short answer

While TRT can suppress natural sperm production, adding HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) helps maintain testicular function by mimicking the signal for the body to produce its own testosterone and sperm. Clinical studies show that co-administration of HCG during TRT can effectively preserve fertility and prevent testicular atrophy for men who wish to maintain their reproductive options. At HeydayMD, our clinicians specialize in these customized protocols, carefully balancing hormone optimization with your long-term family planning goals. We monitor your levels closely to ensure you achieve the benefits of TRT without compromising your future fertility.

Every body is different. A licensed provider can look at your own labs and symptoms.
