ghce Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 Hi looking for some advice on this, currently been on 2x40mg andriol twice a day for the last 2 years and it works well for muscle mass and concentration and sort of OK for libido However now wanting to start a family for the first time and have found that with 12 months of trying that it isnt going anywhere. Have had fertility test results showing a huge increase in fertility after going off the the TRT for a month but that isn't much use when every thing else crashes like libido and incipient ED included. What I am wanting to do is go onto low dose Clomid to increase testicular function and improve fertility which I will do in a couple of months time when I travel out of NZ (as I cant get it here) my question is this should I continue with the Andriol at the same time as taking the Clomid ? One bonus in my favour is that the GP will send me for blood tests to monitor levels knowing I intend to try Clomid. I know that some clinics overseas do prescribe HCG and Clomid in combination to great success! So Clomid alone? or in combination with Andriol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nate225 Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 HMG is your best bet. Like HCG it's available from fertility / men's clinics in NZ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundsgood Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 Are the NZ clinics actually prescribing HMG though? Would be the first I've heard of it Agree it's your best fertility option though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghce Posted May 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 Part of my desire for an alternative to HRT is the gap in libido from pre Low T to present, symptoms were far from a gradual onset but seemed to spontaneously exhibit over a 2 month period. I must say that I have never used steroids prior or post other than using Alanase nasal spray for hay-fever and 1 intramuscular cortisone injection for joint pain but something certainly seemed to shut the loop down.

nate225 Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 Ghce - don't confuse corticosteroids with AAS. Different beast entirely. SG - a guy I know was prescribed HMG for fertility via an Auckland clinic. No endocrinologist needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
