Okay team, let’s kick this log off 💪 and it's going to be a big one!

FYI, this log is proudly sponsored by @Ultimate Anabolic Pharmac. Great guy, doing awesome things, and I’m stoked to have his support!


Background & History
  • PED Use: History of performance-enhancing drug use for bodybuilding for a couple of years, including, Test, Mast, NPP, Tren, Clem, Anavar, Anadrol, GH, Stan
  • Cessation: Came off all compounds cold turkey in March 2025 after a competition.
  • Post-Cycle Therapy (PCT): Began a PCT protocol immediately after cessation.
  • Genetic Factors: No known genetic fertility issues.
More of my initial journey here https://www.evolutionary.org/forums/threads/cycle-and-training-log.99878/



Initial PCT & Sperm Analysis
  • Initial PCT (2 weeks): HCG (1000IU EOD) + HMG (75IU EOD) + Clomid (50mg) + Nolvadex (20mg).
  • Adjusted PCT (6 weeks): Discontinued HMG due to cost. Continued HCG (1000IU EOD) + Clomid + Nolvadex for a further 6 weeks.
  • Spermogram Results (3 months after PCT started): Excellent count @ 136 Million/mL with strong markers for motility and morphology. This is a crucial positive baseline.

Hormone Progression (Post-PCT)

A timeline of natural testosterone recovery post-PCT, showing the challenge of natural recovery:
  • April 2025: 0.4 nmol/L (Severely suppressed, expected post-cycle)
Screenshot 2025-09-22 090515.webp

  • June 2025: 11.3 nmol/L (Significant improvement from PCT, low-end normal)
1758495994762.webp

  • August 2025: 6.7 nmol/L (Drop attributed to natural production without PCT support, confirmed during 5-week trip abroad with no medication)
1758496078559.webp

  • Intervention (Aug): Restarted Clomid at 25mg/day upon return to stimulate LH/FSH.

Current Hormonal Status (September 2025)
  • Testosterone: 17 nmol/L (Within normal range, a good response to Clomid)
  • SHBG: 47 nmol/L (Mid-range)
  • Free Testosterone (calc.): 282 pmol/L
  • LH: 4 IU/L (Indicates pituitary is working, but not optimally high)
  • FSH: 2 IU/L (Low; explains why sperm production may need pharmaceutical support despite good count)
  • Estradiol (E2): 97 pmol/L (Slightly elevated, likely due to Clomid's effect on boosting testosterone aromatization)

Symptoms & Rationale for New Protocol

Despite improving numbers, natural recovery is not optimal for training or well-being:
  • Symptoms: Persistent fatigue, decreased strength, increasing body fat, low libido.
  • Conclusion: Natural LH/FSH production remains sluggish and inconsistent. Continuing without TRT is detrimental to quality of life and training goals.
  • New Goal: Implement a fertility-preserving TRT protocol to restore well-being and performance while actively enhancing fertility parameters.

  • Duration: Initial 4-week test cycle, then retest.
  • Androgen Base:
    • Testosterone Enanthate: 100 mg/week (split into 50mg shots on Mon/Thu)
  • Fertility Stack:
    • HCG: 500 IU EOD (mimics LH, stimulates intratesticular testosterone and sperm maturation)
    • HMG: 75 IU EOD for 12 days (contains both LH & FSH, directly stimulates sperm production)
  • Supportive Supplement (After HMG finishes):
    • Glutathione: 300mg twice weekly, working up to 600mg twice weekly. (For antioxidant support and potentially improving sperm quality).
Key Metrics to Monitor & Log
  • Bloodwork (After 4 weeks): Total/Free Test, E2, LH/FSH (will be suppressed by TRT), SHBG, Prolactin.
  • Sperm Analysis: Repeat after 8-12 weeks on this protocol (as spermatogenesis takes ~74 days).
  • Subjective Log:
    • Energy Levels, Gym Performance, Libido
    • Any side effects (water retention, high E2 signs)
    • Well-being

Hormone Progression (Post-PCT)

A timeline of natural testosterone recovery post-PCT, showing the challenge of natural recovery:
  • April 2025: 0.4 nmol/L (Severely suppressed, expected post-cycle)
View attachment 121592
  • June 2025: 11.3 nmol/L (Significant improvement from PCT, low-end normal)
View attachment 121593
  • August 2025: 6.7 nmol/L (Drop attributed to natural production without PCT support, confirmed during 5-week trip abroad with no medication)
View attachment 121594
  • Intervention (Aug): Restarted Clomid at 25mg/day upon return to stimulate LH/FSH.

Current Hormonal Status (September 2025)
  • Testosterone: 17 nmol/L (Within normal range, a good response to Clomid)
  • SHBG: 47 nmol/L (Mid-range)
  • Free Testosterone (calc.): 282 pmol/L
  • LH: 4 IU/L (Indicates pituitary is working, but not optimally high)
  • FSH: 2 IU/L (Low; explains why sperm production may need pharmaceutical support despite good count)
  • Estradiol (E2): 97 pmol/L (Slightly elevated, likely due to Clomid's effect on boosting testosterone aromatization)

Symptoms & Rationale for New Protocol

Despite improving numbers, natural recovery is not optimal for training or well-being:
  • Symptoms: Persistent fatigue, decreased strength, increasing body fat, low libido.
  • Conclusion: Natural LH/FSH production remains sluggish and inconsistent. Continuing without TRT is detrimental to quality of life and training goals.
  • New Goal: Implement a fertility-preserving TRT protocol to restore well-being and performance while actively enhancing fertility parameters.
Proposed "TRT+" Fertility Protocol all from @Ultimate Anabolic Pharmac

View attachment 121589

View attachment 121632View attachment 121633

  • Duration: Initial 4-week test cycle, then retest.
  • Androgen Base:
    • Testosterone Enanthate: 100 mg/week (split into 50mg shots on Mon/Thu)
  • Fertility Stack:
    • HCG: 500 IU EOD (mimics LH, stimulates intratesticular testosterone and sperm maturation)
    • HMG: 75 IU EOD for 12 days (contains both LH & FSH, directly stimulates sperm production)
  • Supportive Supplement (After HMG finishes):
    • Glutathione: 300mg twice weekly, working up to 600mg twice weekly. (For antioxidant support and potentially improving sperm quality).
Key Metrics to Monitor & Log
  • Bloodwork (After 4 weeks): Total/Free Test, E2, LH/FSH (will be suppressed by TRT), SHBG, Prolactin.
  • Sperm Analysis: Repeat after 8-12 weeks on this protocol (as spermatogenesis takes ~74 days).
  • Subjective Log:
    • Energy Levels, Gym Performance, Libido
    • Any side effects (water retention, high E2 signs)
    • Well-being

I will do a check in this weekend in terms of BF, weight, measurements so stay tuned.

Also, I'm logging this for accountability and to share data. Interested in experiences with similar HCG/HMG doses on TRT, E2 management strategies, and interpretations of my hormone progression.

welcome back to the EVO family :D @bss
Big start to the log, you’ve laid out everything clean with background, PCT history, bloodwork timeline, and now a fertility-focused TRT plan. The detail you’ve included on diet, training split, and supps shows you’re serious about making this phase structured and accountable. Having the sperm count and hormone data already on record is a strong baseline to measure from.

This is the kind of log that will be valuable not just for your own tracking but for others running similar protocols. Keep the updates steady with weight, training, and how you’re feeling day to day, plus the follow up bloods and sperm analysis. That way you’ll have a complete picture of how the test, HCG, and HMG stack plays out in real time. I think @CypherOCE will learn from this as well.
 
Okay team, let’s kick this log off 💪 and it's going to be a big one!

FYI, this log is proudly sponsored by @Ultimate Anabolic Pharmac. Great guy, doing awesome things, and I’m stoked to have his support!


Background & History
  • PED Use: History of performance-enhancing drug use for bodybuilding for a couple of years, including, Test, Mast, NPP, Tren, Clem, Anavar, Anadrol, GH, Stan
  • Cessation: Came off all compounds cold turkey in March 2025 after a competition.
  • Post-Cycle Therapy (PCT): Began a PCT protocol immediately after cessation.
  • Genetic Factors: No known genetic fertility issues.
More of my initial journey here https://www.evolutionary.org/forums/threads/cycle-and-training-log.99878/



Initial PCT & Sperm Analysis
  • Initial PCT (2 weeks): HCG (1000IU EOD) + HMG (75IU EOD) + Clomid (50mg) + Nolvadex (20mg).
  • Adjusted PCT (6 weeks): Discontinued HMG due to cost. Continued HCG (1000IU EOD) + Clomid + Nolvadex for a further 6 weeks.
  • Spermogram Results (3 months after PCT started): Excellent count @ 136 Million/mL with strong markers for motility and morphology. This is a crucial positive baseline.

Okay team, let’s kick this log off 💪 and it's going to be a big one!

FYI, this log is proudly sponsored by @Ultimate Anabolic Pharmac. Great guy, doing awesome things, and I’m stoked to have his support!


Background & History
  • PED Use: History of performance-enhancing drug use for bodybuilding for a couple of years, including, Test, Mast, NPP, Tren, Clem, Anavar, Anadrol, GH, Stan
  • Cessation: Came off all compounds cold turkey in March 2025 after a competition.
  • Post-Cycle Therapy (PCT): Began a PCT protocol immediately after cessation.
  • Genetic Factors: No known genetic fertility issues.
More of my initial journey here https://www.evolutionary.org/forums/threads/cycle-and-training-log.99878/



Initial PCT & Sperm Analysis
  • Initial PCT (2 weeks): HCG (1000IU EOD) + HMG (75IU EOD) + Clomid (50mg) + Nolvadex (20mg).
  • Adjusted PCT (6 weeks): Discontinued HMG due to cost. Continued HCG (1000IU EOD) + Clomid + Nolvadex for a further 6 weeks.
  • Spermogram Results (3 months after PCT started): Excellent count @ 136 Million/mL with strong markers for motility and morphology. This is a crucial positive baseline.

Hormone Progression (Post-PCT)

A timeline of natural testosterone recovery post-PCT, showing the challenge of natural recovery:
  • April 2025: 0.4 nmol/L (Severely suppressed, expected post-cycle)
View attachment 121592
  • June 2025: 11.3 nmol/L (Significant improvement from PCT, low-end normal)
View attachment 121593
  • August 2025: 6.7 nmol/L (Drop attributed to natural production without PCT support, confirmed during 5-week trip abroad with no medication)
View attachment 121594
  • Intervention (Aug): Restarted Clomid at 25mg/day upon return to stimulate LH/FSH.

Current Hormonal Status (September 2025)
  • Testosterone: 17 nmol/L (Within normal range, a good response to Clomid)
  • SHBG: 47 nmol/L (Mid-range)
  • Free Testosterone (calc.): 282 pmol/L
  • LH: 4 IU/L (Indicates pituitary is working, but not optimally high)
  • FSH: 2 IU/L (Low; explains why sperm production may need pharmaceutical support despite good count)
  • Estradiol (E2): 97 pmol/L (Slightly elevated, likely due to Clomid's effect on boosting testosterone aromatization)

View attachment 121591
Symptoms & Rationale for New Protocol

Despite improving numbers, natural recovery is not optimal for training or well-being:
  • Symptoms: Persistent fatigue, decreased strength, increasing body fat, low libido.
  • Conclusion: Natural LH/FSH production remains sluggish and inconsistent. Continuing without TRT is detrimental to quality of life and training goals.
  • New Goal: Implement a fertility-preserving TRT protocol to restore well-being and performance while actively enhancing fertility parameters.
Proposed "TRT+" Fertility Protocol all from @Ultimate Anabolic Pharmac

View attachment 121589

View attachment 121632View attachment 121633

  • Duration: Initial 4-week test cycle, then retest.
  • Androgen Base:
    • Testosterone Enanthate: 100 mg/week (split into 50mg shots on Mon/Thu)
  • Fertility Stack:
    • HCG: 500 IU EOD (mimics LH, stimulates intratesticular testosterone and sperm maturation)
    • HMG: 75 IU EOD for 12 days (contains both LH & FSH, directly stimulates sperm production)
  • Supportive Supplement (After HMG finishes):
    • Glutathione: 300mg twice weekly, working up to 600mg twice weekly. (For antioxidant support and potentially improving sperm quality).
Key Metrics to Monitor & Log
  • Bloodwork (After 4 weeks): Total/Free Test, E2, LH/FSH (will be suppressed by TRT), SHBG, Prolactin.
  • Sperm Analysis: Repeat after 8-12 weeks on this protocol (as spermatogenesis takes ~74 days).
  • Subjective Log:
    • Energy Levels, Gym Performance, Libido
    • Any side effects (water retention, high E2 signs)
    • Well-being

Word of warning Lupin HCG has been notoriously underdosed and by massive amounts

I’d strongly advise against using it without it being tested prior

90.5kg looks good and the session shows you’re pushing decent loads across all lifts. Pressing 25s for shoulders and then 37.5s incline after a full workout is strong. Rows and bench work in the 30s give you a solid base for back and chest thickness. Triceps and laterals finished it off well, nice balanced session with steady progress. :D

Yeah I think think I did well by holding as much muscle as possible since the show but certainly not as strong as I once was.
 
18! holy fk I think we get it this month for sure! Fingers crossed 🫰

I just wish I was on HCG but at the time I thought TPC would be a walk in a park.... Little I knew...
bro yes. but not sure how many actually mine. pretty sure the one who is 6'6'' and 260lbs at 7% body fat at 14 years old mine.

Okay team, let’s kick this log off 💪 and it's going to be a big one!

FYI, this log is proudly sponsored by @Ultimate Anabolic Pharmac. Great guy, doing awesome things, and I’m stoked to have his support!


Background & History
  • PED Use: History of performance-enhancing drug use for bodybuilding for a couple of years, including, Test, Mast, NPP, Tren, Clem, Anavar, Anadrol, GH, Stan
  • Cessation: Came off all compounds cold turkey in March 2025 after a competition.
  • Post-Cycle Therapy (PCT): Began a PCT protocol immediately after cessation.
  • Genetic Factors: No known genetic fertility issues.
More of my initial journey here https://www.evolutionary.org/forums/threads/cycle-and-training-log.99878/



Initial PCT & Sperm Analysis
  • Initial PCT (2 weeks): HCG (1000IU EOD) + HMG (75IU EOD) + Clomid (50mg) + Nolvadex (20mg).
  • Adjusted PCT (6 weeks): Discontinued HMG due to cost. Continued HCG (1000IU EOD) + Clomid + Nolvadex for a further 6 weeks.
  • Spermogram Results (3 months after PCT started): Excellent count @ 136 Million/mL with strong markers for motility and morphology. This is a crucial positive baseline.

Hormone Progression (Post-PCT)

A timeline of natural testosterone recovery post-PCT, showing the challenge of natural recovery:
  • April 2025: 0.4 nmol/L (Severely suppressed, expected post-cycle)
View attachment 121592
  • June 2025: 11.3 nmol/L (Significant improvement from PCT, low-end normal)
View attachment 121593
  • August 2025: 6.7 nmol/L (Drop attributed to natural production without PCT support, confirmed during 5-week trip abroad with no medication)
View attachment 121594
  • Intervention (Aug): Restarted Clomid at 25mg/day upon return to stimulate LH/FSH.

Current Hormonal Status (September 2025)
  • Testosterone: 17 nmol/L (Within normal range, a good response to Clomid)
  • SHBG: 47 nmol/L (Mid-range)
  • Free Testosterone (calc.): 282 pmol/L
  • LH: 4 IU/L (Indicates pituitary is working, but not optimally high)
  • FSH: 2 IU/L (Low; explains why sperm production may need pharmaceutical support despite good count)
  • Estradiol (E2): 97 pmol/L (Slightly elevated, likely due to Clomid's effect on boosting testosterone aromatization)

View attachment 121590
View attachment 121591
Symptoms & Rationale for New Protocol

Despite improving numbers, natural recovery is not optimal for training or well-being:
  • Symptoms: Persistent fatigue, decreased strength, increasing body fat, low libido.
  • Conclusion: Natural LH/FSH production remains sluggish and inconsistent. Continuing without TRT is detrimental to quality of life and training goals.
  • New Goal: Implement a fertility-preserving TRT protocol to restore well-being and performance while actively enhancing fertility parameters.
Proposed "TRT+" Fertility Protocol all from @Ultimate Anabolic Pharmac

View attachment 121589

View attachment 121632View attachment 121633

  • Duration: Initial 4-week test cycle, then retest.
  • Androgen Base:
    • Testosterone Enanthate: 100 mg/week (split into 50mg shots on Mon/Thu)
  • Fertility Stack:
    • HCG: 500 IU EOD (mimics LH, stimulates intratesticular testosterone and sperm maturation)
    • HMG: 75 IU EOD for 12 days (contains both LH & FSH, directly stimulates sperm production)
  • Supportive Supplement (After HMG finishes):
    • Glutathione: 300mg twice weekly, working up to 600mg twice weekly. (For antioxidant support and potentially improving sperm quality).
Key Metrics to Monitor & Log
  • Bloodwork (After 4 weeks): Total/Free Test, E2, LH/FSH (will be suppressed by TRT), SHBG, Prolactin.
  • Sperm Analysis: Repeat after 8-12 weeks on this protocol (as spermatogenesis takes ~74 days).
  • Subjective Log:
    • Energy Levels, Gym Performance, Libido
    • Any side effects (water retention, high E2 signs)
    • Well-being

I will do a check in this weekend in terms of BF, weight, measurements so stay tuned.

Also, I'm logging this for accountability and to share data. Interested in experiences with similar HCG/HMG doses on TRT, E2 management strategies, and interpretations of my hormone progression.

Couldn't end without thanking @Ultimate Anabolic Pharmac again, please go check it out his current thread https://www.evolutionary.org/forums/threads/ultimate-anabolic-pharmacy-pricelist.106454/

I will do a check in this weekend in terms of BF, weight, measurements so stay tuned.

Also, I'm logging this for accountability and to share data. Interested in experiences with similar HCG/HMG doses on TRT, E2 management strategies, and interpretations of my hormone progression.

Couldn't end without thanking @Ultimate Anabolic Pharmac again, please go check it out his current thread https://www.evolutionary.org/forums/threads/ultimate-anabolic-pharmacy-pricelist.106454/

Okay team, let’s kick this log off 💪 and it's going to be a big one!

FYI, this log is proudly sponsored by @Ultimate Anabolic Pharmac. Great guy, doing awesome things, and I’m stoked to have his support!


Background & History
  • PED Use: History of performance-enhancing drug use for bodybuilding for a couple of years, including, Test, Mast, NPP, Tren, Clem, Anavar, Anadrol, GH, Stan
  • Cessation: Came off all compounds cold turkey in March 2025 after a competition.
  • Post-Cycle Therapy (PCT): Began a PCT protocol immediately after cessation.
  • Genetic Factors: No known genetic fertility issues.
More of my initial journey here https://www.evolutionary.org/forums/threads/cycle-and-training-log.99878/



Initial PCT & Sperm Analysis
  • Initial PCT (2 weeks): HCG (1000IU EOD) + HMG (75IU EOD) + Clomid (50mg) + Nolvadex (20mg).
  • Adjusted PCT (6 weeks): Discontinued HMG due to cost. Continued HCG (1000IU EOD) + Clomid + Nolvadex for a further 6 weeks.
  • Spermogram Results (3 months after PCT started): Excellent count @ 136 Million/mL with strong markers for motility and morphology. This is a crucial positive baseline.

Hormone Progression (Post-PCT)

A timeline of natural testosterone recovery post-PCT, showing the challenge of natural recovery:
  • April 2025: 0.4 nmol/L (Severely suppressed, expected post-cycle)
View attachment 121592
  • June 2025: 11.3 nmol/L (Significant improvement from PCT, low-end normal)
View attachment 121593
  • August 2025: 6.7 nmol/L (Drop attributed to natural production without PCT support, confirmed during 5-week trip abroad with no medication)
View attachment 121594
  • Intervention (Aug): Restarted Clomid at 25mg/day upon return to stimulate LH/FSH.

Current Hormonal Status (September 2025)
  • Testosterone: 17 nmol/L (Within normal range, a good response to Clomid)
  • SHBG: 47 nmol/L (Mid-range)
  • Free Testosterone (calc.): 282 pmol/L
  • LH: 4 IU/L (Indicates pituitary is working, but not optimally high)
  • FSH: 2 IU/L (Low; explains why sperm production may need pharmaceutical support despite good count)
  • Estradiol (E2): 97 pmol/L (Slightly elevated, likely due to Clomid's effect on boosting testosterone aromatization)

View attachment 121591
Symptoms & Rationale for New Protocol

Despite improving numbers, natural recovery is not optimal for training or well-being:
  • Symptoms: Persistent fatigue, decreased strength, increasing body fat, low libido.
  • Conclusion: Natural LH/FSH production remains sluggish and inconsistent. Continuing without TRT is detrimental to quality of life and training goals.
  • New Goal: Implement a fertility-preserving TRT protocol to restore well-being and performance while actively enhancing fertility parameters.
Proposed "TRT+" Fertility Protocol all from @Ultimate Anabolic Pharmac

View attachment 121589

View attachment 121632View attachment 121633

  • Duration: Initial 4-week test cycle, then retest.
  • Androgen Base:
    • Testosterone Enanthate: 100 mg/week (split into 50mg shots on Mon/Thu)
  • Fertility Stack:
    • HCG: 500 IU EOD (mimics LH, stimulates intratesticular testosterone and sperm maturation)
    • HMG: 75 IU EOD for 12 days (contains both LH & FSH, directly stimulates sperm production)
  • Supportive Supplement (After HMG finishes):
    • Glutathione: 300mg twice weekly, working up to 600mg twice weekly. (For antioxidant support and potentially improving sperm quality).
Key Metrics to Monitor & Log
  • Bloodwork (After 4 weeks): Total/Free Test, E2, LH/FSH (will be suppressed by TRT), SHBG, Prolactin.
  • Sperm Analysis: Repeat after 8-12 weeks on this protocol (as spermatogenesis takes ~74 days).
  • Subjective Log:
    • Energy Levels, Gym Performance, Libido
    • Any side effects (water retention, high E2 signs)
    • Well-being

Life saver really, I like to train with a lot of intensity and without it I feel like I loose too much energy towards the end of the session, with the intra workout I can go for an hour+ and still pushing as hard as possible.

Thank you all for the feedback for my log, much appreciated!

Yesterday I felt really strong but also my cardio was definitely not there, I tried pushing very hard on my leg session but I caught myself out of breath quite a few times. I must be honest to say that I haven't been doing my cardio as I was before, so today I re-stated my fasting cardio, I did 45min in my exercise bike and it felt great!

Here was my session from yesterday

Yeah I think think I did well by holding as much muscle as possible since the show but certainly not as strong as I once was.
You definitely did well, coming out of a show lean and still holding most of the muscle is the win, strength always dips a bit in that state. Once you start pushing food back up and recover properly the strength will come back faster than you think. :D

Okay team, let’s kick this log off 💪 and it's going to be a big one!

FYI, this log is proudly sponsored by @Ultimate Anabolic Pharmac. Great guy, doing awesome things, and I’m stoked to have his support!


Background & History
  • PED Use: History of performance-enhancing drug use for bodybuilding for a couple of years, including, Test, Mast, NPP, Tren, Clem, Anavar, Anadrol, GH, Stan
  • Cessation: Came off all compounds cold turkey in March 2025 after a competition.
  • Post-Cycle Therapy (PCT): Began a PCT protocol immediately after cessation.
  • Genetic Factors: No known genetic fertility issues.
More of my initial journey here https://www.evolutionary.org/forums/threads/cycle-and-training-log.99878/



Initial PCT & Sperm Analysis
  • Initial PCT (2 weeks): HCG (1000IU EOD) + HMG (75IU EOD) + Clomid (50mg) + Nolvadex (20mg).
  • Adjusted PCT (6 weeks): Discontinued HMG due to cost. Continued HCG (1000IU EOD) + Clomid + Nolvadex for a further 6 weeks.
  • Spermogram Results (3 months after PCT started): Excellent count @ 136 Million/mL with strong markers for motility and morphology. This is a crucial positive baseline.
View attachment 121599


Hormone Progression (Post-PCT)

A timeline of natural testosterone recovery post-PCT, showing the challenge of natural recovery:
  • April 2025: 0.4 nmol/L (Severely suppressed, expected post-cycle)
View attachment 121592
  • June 2025: 11.3 nmol/L (Significant improvement from PCT, low-end normal)
View attachment 121593
  • August 2025: 6.7 nmol/L (Drop attributed to natural production without PCT support, confirmed during 5-week trip abroad with no medication)
View attachment 121594
  • Intervention (Aug): Restarted Clomid at 25mg/day upon return to stimulate LH/FSH.

Current Hormonal Status (September 2025)
  • Testosterone: 17 nmol/L (Within normal range, a good response to Clomid)
  • SHBG: 47 nmol/L (Mid-range)
  • Free Testosterone (calc.): 282 pmol/L
  • LH: 4 IU/L (Indicates pituitary is working, but not optimally high)
  • FSH: 2 IU/L (Low; explains why sperm production may need pharmaceutical support despite good count)
  • Estradiol (E2): 97 pmol/L (Slightly elevated, likely due to Clomid's effect on boosting testosterone aromatization)

View attachment 121590
View attachment 121591
Symptoms & Rationale for New Protocol

Despite improving numbers, natural recovery is not optimal for training or well-being:
  • Symptoms: Persistent fatigue, decreased strength, increasing body fat, low libido.
  • Conclusion: Natural LH/FSH production remains sluggish and inconsistent. Continuing without TRT is detrimental to quality of life and training goals.
  • New Goal: Implement a fertility-preserving TRT protocol to restore well-being and performance while actively enhancing fertility parameters.
Proposed "TRT+" Fertility Protocol all from @Ultimate Anabolic Pharmac

View attachment 121589

View attachment 121632View attachment 121633

  • Duration: Initial 4-week test cycle, then retest.
  • Androgen Base:
    • Testosterone Enanthate: 100 mg/week (split into 50mg shots on Mon/Thu)
  • Fertility Stack:
    • HCG: 500 IU EOD (mimics LH, stimulates intratesticular testosterone and sperm maturation)
    • HMG: 75 IU EOD for 12 days (contains both LH & FSH, directly stimulates sperm production)
  • Supportive Supplement (After HMG finishes):
    • Glutathione: 300mg twice weekly, working up to 600mg twice weekly. (For antioxidant support and potentially improving sperm quality).
Key Metrics to Monitor & Log
  • Bloodwork (After 4 weeks): Total/Free Test, E2, LH/FSH (will be suppressed by TRT), SHBG, Prolactin.
  • Sperm Analysis: Repeat after 8-12 weeks on this protocol (as spermatogenesis takes ~74 days).
  • Subjective Log:
    • Energy Levels, Gym Performance, Libido
    • Any side effects (water retention, high E2 signs)
    • Well-being

Also, I'm logging this for accountability and to share data. Interested in experiences with similar HCG/HMG doses on TRT, E2 management strategies, and interpretations of my hormone progression.

Couldn't end without thanking @Ultimate Anabolic Pharmac again, please go check it out his current thread https://www.evolutionary.org/forums/threads/ultimate-anabolic-pharmacy-pricelist.106454/

G'day Lads!

I hope everyone is enjoying the holiday in VIC (Go Cats!)

The check-in is in and oh boy it's not good 😭

10897.webp

I've intentionally stopped the check-ins because I didn't want to face the reality but now it's time to change before it's too late.

My body has a very annoying tendency to accumulate fat in the abdominal area and it's the only part of my body really that has any fat accumulated, my limbs are usually pretty lean.



Body Composition Data (Caliper)

10881.webp


Weight: 90.5 kg
Body Fat %: 9.3%
Waist: 92 cm (+4.0 cm YTD)
Hip: 97.5 cm (+1.5 cm)
Chest: 121 cm (+0.5 cm)
Neck: 43 cm
Arms: 39.5 cm (stable)
Thighs: L: 62.5 cm (-0.3 cm) | R: 62.0 cm (-0.8 cm)
Abdominal Skinfold: 20 mm



Trend Recap (2025):

10883.webp


Mar 23: 85.9 kg | 3.6% BF
Apr 8: 84.9 kg | 3.1% BF (lowest point)
May 21: 86.8 kg | 4.5% BF
Jun 10: 88.0 kg | 4.7% BF
Aug 2: 89.2 kg | 7.0% BF
Sep 26 (now): 90.5 kg | 9.3% BF



If you missed the start of this thread, early in the year, I came off AAS/TRT protocols for fertility purposes.

The drop in lean body mass and rise in fat mass correlate strongly with suppressed testosterone and a decrease in training volume/intensity, particularly reduced cardio.

Despite an initial sharp reduction in weight/body fat (April), the rebound phase since May shows a steady increase in both total mass and BF%, with lean tissue also declining.

Current state: noticeably higher body fat than baseline at the start of 2025, with reduced LBM markers (waist, skinfolds, strength performance also reflecting this).



Fertility Marker (YO Test):


YO Score: 50

Result: Moderate/Normal MSC Range (≥ 6M motile sperm/mL)

Confirms that the TRT cessation did what it needed to for sperm production, but at a cost in terms of physique and body composition.



Next Steps / Plan:

Ive restarted the TRT protocol last week so this is the baseline, with expectation of lean mass recovery, improved strength, and fat mass reduction in the near future.

I'm paring the TRT with structured training, reintroducing consistent cardio, and tighter nutritional control.

The goal still getting the wife pregnant but at the same time now I want to start to rebuild lean mass while bringing body fat back under control toward single-digit range (ideally 6–7%).

You still look good and lean in the pic, midsection is just holding more than you like but everything else looks tight. Coming off test for fertility explains the changes, so now that you’re back on TRT with structure in training and cardio you’ll bring the waist back down. Arms, chest and limbs are holding size, once hormones level out and diet is locked you’ll start tightening up quick again. :D
I like that coffee machine in the back, is that a pro one? @bss

That’s a nice machine, Breville dual boiler can pull a solid shot once you dial it in. I had issues with cheap machines I got on amazon lol :P.
Easy to see how coffee becomes addictive post prep, it gives you something to focus on and enjoy. Latte art just takes reps, same as training, you’ll keep getting better with practice. :D
 
Hey guys,

Hey guys,

A quick follow up with this, today was my last injection of HMG for this month and I also went to the pathology to get my bloods done again so we will have a result next week.

Here was my workout yesterday, I am starting to feel a bit stronger but nothing crazy:

==================================================

==================================================
Rows at 57kg on the cable and 35kg DBs for controlled sets is good steady back work, especially while you’re waiting for the bloods to come in. Arms are moving too, with 15.9kg hammers in the mix and higher rep wrist curls rounding it out. Feeling stronger already is a good sign the HMG is doing its job, and once you see the results next week you’ll know exactly where you stand.

to start your workout with pullups then hit 6 more exercises shows What kind of commitment you have. Those pull-ups really take a lot out of you right off the bat. The rest of the way you're just going on pure adrenaline. @bss

@bss great training session and volume. Keep it up big guy
 
Results are in and I'm glad to see my test back up but the LH/FSH arent what I wanted to see (perhaps it's true about the Lupin dosage being lower than advertised) , probably I'll have to double the HCG dosage. Also thoughts on my E2 to test ratio?

I’d suggest swapping from Lupin - I’ve been using @Wolfenstein HCG which was HPLC test at over 10k IU

I haven’t got new bloods since I’ve been away a lot but will do shortly!

@bss i'm confused on this. running hcg and hmg will not boost lh and fsh, it will keep them suppressed. this is normal as they mimic those hormones which signal pituitary glands to not function

Bro! You are absolutely right!!! In my head I thought it would show up in the bloods as LH and FSH since they are alike. Thank you for your feedback!

I was so caught up with the results that I was blindsided.

It's great to have the EVO family looking after us 😃





Here is more info to this:

Taking HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) and HMG (human menopausal gonadotropin) will not cause laboratory blood tests to show elevated levels of LH (luteinizing hormone) and FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) as if they were produced endogenously by the pituitary gland.

How HCG and HMG Work

HCG is structurally and functionally very similar to LH, and it binds to the same receptor, stimulating similar biological effects. However, blood tests specifically designed to measure pituitary-derived LH do not detect pharmaceutical HCG as LH; they are different molecules despite having similar actions in the body.

HMG contains both FSH and LH. The LH component may be naturally derived or, more commonly, replaced or supplemented by HCG, which provides “LH-like” activity.

Commercial immunoassays for LH and FSH are typically specific for the pituitary forms of these hormones and do not cross-react to detect administered HCG or HMG as LH or FSH in the blood.

What Will Show Up on Blood Tests

Exogenously administered HCG will not register as elevated LH in standard blood tests. LH measured after HCG administration will usually appear suppressed (low), due to negative feedback.
If HMG is used, the exogenous FSH included can be measured as increased FSH in the blood, but this depends on the assay’s sensitivity and cross-reactivity to urinary-derived or recombinant FSH found in HMG.

FSH and LH levels from the pituitary are often suppressed during HCG and/or HMG therapy due to negative feedback on the hypothalamic-pituitary axis, unless there is incomplete suppression or assay cross-reactivity (which is rare)

Summary
In practical terms, HCG mimics LH’s action, but will not cause a lab result for “LH” to go up. HMG can increase FSH in labs, but how much depends on the lab assay being used.

It’s okay most people think that too. I learned it years ago via bloods and then understood it

bros I'm a big fan of pulling lifts. @bss you won't go wrong hitting the smith calf raises and the cable standing face pulls

@bss i'm confused on this. running hcg and hmg will not boost lh and fsh, it will keep them suppressed. this is normal as they mimic those hormones which signal pituitary glands to not function
As we've both said on the shows

Bro! You are absolutely right!!! In my head I thought it would show up in the bloods as LH and FSH since they are alike. Thank you for your feedback!

I was so caught up with the results that I was blindsided.

It's great to have the EVO family looking after us 😃





Here is more info to this:

Taking HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) and HMG (human menopausal gonadotropin) will not cause laboratory blood tests to show elevated levels of LH (luteinizing hormone) and FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) as if they were produced endogenously by the pituitary gland.

How HCG and HMG Work

HCG is structurally and functionally very similar to LH, and it binds to the same receptor, stimulating similar biological effects. However, blood tests specifically designed to measure pituitary-derived LH do not detect pharmaceutical HCG as LH; they are different molecules despite having similar actions in the body.

HMG contains both FSH and LH. The LH component may be naturally derived or, more commonly, replaced or supplemented by HCG, which provides “LH-like” activity.

Commercial immunoassays for LH and FSH are typically specific for the pituitary forms of these hormones and do not cross-react to detect administered HCG or HMG as LH or FSH in the blood.

What Will Show Up on Blood Tests

Exogenously administered HCG will not register as elevated LH in standard blood tests. LH measured after HCG administration will usually appear suppressed (low), due to negative feedback.
If HMG is used, the exogenous FSH included can be measured as increased FSH in the blood, but this depends on the assay’s sensitivity and cross-reactivity to urinary-derived or recombinant FSH found in HMG.

FSH and LH levels from the pituitary are often suppressed during HCG and/or HMG therapy due to negative feedback on the hypothalamic-pituitary axis, unless there is incomplete suppression or assay cross-reactivity (which is rare)

Summary
In practical terms, HCG mimics LH’s action, but will not cause a lab result for “LH” to go up. HMG can increase FSH in labs, but how much depends on the lab assay being used.

Yeah it's, I'm a bit mental when comes to volume. I try to program 24+ sets per muscle group per week.
The issue is you're not on a real cycle, you'll overtrain and cause spikes in cortisol and inflammation. @bss

Alright fellas,

It's being about 1 month since I started this protocol and I feel great 😃

This week I doubled the testosterone dosage and I feel like it made a huge difference at the gym, also it's about time I start feeling the benefits of TRT.

No baby yet but we are in a good track. We also got referred to an IVF clinic.

They ordered a bunch of more bloods and exams to start the process.

I'll keep you guys posted.

Also found a sauce for the Gonal F pens but if you’re going the IVF route you might be able to avoid the added cost 😝

Hopefully it happens naturally before any intervention is needed 🙏 but I’m considering all options.

My partner also has some complications and has experienced a miscarriage before.

It’s important to remember that both of us need to be in our best health to conceive :)

Hey guys!

A quick follow-up with this one, still no baby 😅 but we are definitely on the right track, it turns out my partner also have a very low concentration of eggs being released each cycle so it makes things even harder for us (might take more time to get it right)

As I mentioned earlier we are on track to see an IVF specialist and that specialist ordered a bunch of exams including a sperm count for me which I taken last week.

Here are the results:

Although the concentration looks really good, the motility and morphology aren't ideal.

I want to start introducing CoQ10 and L-Carnitine to my stack.

At the moment I'm running Test 2x week, HCG EOD and Glutathione EOD.

Diet and training are still the same, weight has been stable for a while at 92kg fasting.

That's it for now.

Good update and glad you’re on track :D

Most of the time fertility issues come down to the female side with egg quality or release count, but boosting motility and morphology with CoQ10 and L-Carnitine is still smart. @bss

Fuck yeah! Those are some quality numbers

@ODINLABS has some great L-carn that’s basically like water, it’s criminal how good it is! Also 110% take some CoQ10 and vitamin E if you don’t already
 
Hey everyone,

Just popping in with a big update on our baby-making mission. We finally had our IVF consult and got a way clearer picture of the game plan. It’s a bit of a "his and hers" situation over here!

On My Side:

Turns out I’m the one on supplement duty! The doc has agreed with me with loading up on the good stuff to supercharge the swimmers:

- CoQ10 & L-Carnitine: Just started these. Every little guy needs to be an Olympian!
- The Hormone Cocktail: Still chugging along with my Clomid, HCG, and a bit of Test E to keep things balanced.

So yeah, my job is all about making the best possible "seed." Feeling good about the protocol.

The doctor suggested me keeping an eye on the sperm count due to the testosterone, so I want to keep testing it once a month.

On Her Side:

For my partner, the main challenge is a lower egg count. So the strategy is all about quality and creating the perfect cozy home.

The doctor prescribed her:

- Letrozole: This is to help encourage those good eggs to mature and pop out right on schedule.
- Progesterone: This is the magic hormone that makes the uterine lining super soft and sticky, so if an embryo comes along, it has the best chance to snuggle in and stay.

Her job is all about priming the "soil" and making sure the timing is perfect.

Shoutout Where It's Due!

A MASSIVE thank you to @Wolfenstein who seriously came through with some top-shelf HCG for me. Dude, you're a legend – that kind of support is what makes this community amazing. Seriously, thank you.

So, The Vibe...

We're feeling really optimistic. It’s a relief to have a clear, targeted plan for both of us. We're a little team, each with our own jobs to do.

It's a marathon, not a sprint, but we've got our running shoes on.

Cheers for the support, everyone

Good update and sounds like a clean plan dialed in :D @bss
I like that you have TRT in there, I dont like 'baby' cycles that just kill the mans life with estrogen.

Her Letrozole and progesterone seems reasonable but I rarely see letro implemented, maybe 1 time before I saw this.

Apparently letro is better than using Clomid for female and somewhat quite common. We did try Clomid for one cycle but we didn't quite liked the results, her hormones were all over the place on that.

I have reservations about letrozole use in general in women due to long term e2 issues but I think in your case no choice @bss

How much test E you running man?
What levels is holding at also ?
In the same boat and about to start
I'm doing 150/week split into two doses.

Levels are just at the top of the range which has gave me more than enough drive at the gym to just maintain what I have.

Good luck brother! More importantly I'd say is to get your sperm analysis done ASAP that's what matters most. Have a look how your swimmers are performing.
 
K

Planning a stack to start in the new year
Just sitting on 125mg Test a week again
Tried to drop the test several times but felt horrible
Home life was shit
125 split twice a week and have added hcg back in twice a week at 1000iu each shot on the same days as Test
Yeah I dropped the test for about 6 months and I'd say after month 4/5 life was pretty shit without it 😮‍💨

You're doing TRT now right? @tylerdurden999 basically self TRT
I'd love to see you start a TRT log now and we work into this fertility stack and guide you as the EVO family :D you know how to start a log?

HOW and WHY TO LOG?

Why is a Log Journal important?
Accountability, pride, and consistency all which lead to RESULTS!

Authoring a log will actually help you way more than just dropping random updates. When you lay it all out week by week you start to see patterns in your body that you won’t catch otherwise.
Other guys here run logs all the time and there’s no privacy issue, nobody is asking for your name or anything personal, it is just training, diet, and how the compound feels.
The feedback you get is also way better because people can follow along and spot things you might miss. It also helps the next guy who is thinking about running the same compound so you are giving back while you learn.
Even if you think you might not stick with it, just starting the log makes it easier to come back and add quick notes. That way you get more out of what you are running instead of keeping it all in your head.

To really guide you we need more info from you:
Please share your diet, training, cardio, sleep, supplements etc log with us in a NEW thread using a full log journal so our guidance is based on facts you provide.
It will take 15-20 minutes max.
We have 100's of years of experience between us, so you need to post a LOG Journal with your stats (weight, height, age, years training, cycle history) diet, training, cardio, supplement, sleep details. If you don't log what you eat or train now, open NOTES on phone and start recording it there and paste here. Very easy.
Please post a Log Journal ASAP for us

There are almost a quarter million members on here and almost two million posts with over a thousand podcasts so your Log Journal will be taken care of here! Evolutionary.org is the most visited steroid community in the world (fact!).

It’s been a little while since my last update. Unfortunately, despite our efforts, nothing has worked for us so far.

At this point, IVF looks like the most straightforward path forward for our journey.

Since I only ran my HMG protocol for a month previously, my sperm count has dropped off again.

19960.webp


The good news is I’ve been able to get hold of quality pharma-grade HMG from @Wolfenstein, so I’ll be committing to a longer protocol over the next few months to help improve my numbers and give us the best possible chance going into IVF.

Staying hopeful and doing everything we can on our end. 💛
