TRT, HCG and Getting Pregnant - MESO-Rx

From what I have read, TRT can lower sperm count and HCG can stimulate the testes. So my question is, if you are doing both TRT and HCG will you have problems trying to get pregnant? Or are you basically where you were before you started HCG and TRT?

Thx

It depends on if your sprem was good before you went on TRT. A lot of men have primary Low T and there testis don't work and that is the reason for the low T. One should have there sprem tested first and if it is good have some frozen to be on the safe side. There are men here on TRT that got there wife pregnant.

Ok, my sperm must have been good prior to TRT since I have 3 children already. OT question, what is the difference between primary and secondary?

Primary your testis don't make enough T secondary means your pituitary in the brain is not working can be caused by a tumor or a bad blow to the head.
