I would use the hcg at 500mcg eod until testicaks regain size, once they do drop to to 250 2 to 3 times a week the remainder of the cycle with a blast at the end.

Personally if you can get HMG cheap, that's real and not just hcg, the typical dosing is 75iu which is the standard size it comes in. You can use the 75 iu daily the entire cycle , you could use 75 HMG on the days in between hcg, or you could use it to get back to normal size which does not mean normal function. And being on cycle it's going to be. Hard to show function.

Hcg is more potent than the bodies LH signal when it's real pharmacy grade, at times I've had to dose 1000-3000.mcg e3d if I was really atrophied.

hmg is a great option because of the FSSH signaling as well. But standard dosing is the entire 75iu bottle/vial. The dosing regime you choose is up to you based on need, response, and affordability. Because I would also add in an hcg/HMG blast for 14 days prior to starting serm therapy. But with hcg, it's been recommended that over 300 iu provides no benefits, this statement coming from a well respected HRT Dr. I personally have had to use much more to basically Kick start the whole system. GnRh signals the pituitary to release LH and FSH as needed. Which becomes inactive during hormone use. These in turn will promote the release of some others sex horned as well as sort of an overall response to the actions of the synthetic signaling.

If you plan to use HMG alone, I've seen guys use HMG as a mid cycle blast to help restore what's been shut down for a period of one to two weeks at 75iu a day. To me you are getting your body to believe it's functioning again only to have it rapidly come to a halt after stopping use.

I personally would decide on HMG a minimum of 3 times a week the durations the cycle at 75 iu at least 3 days per week. You can decide if you want to add in hcg on alternating days which they can be taken together but personal opinion is it would be a waste to use at the same time during the cycle. Keep in mind that hcg, and I'm not sure on HMG because I haven' checked on it in some time, will cause dose dependent estrogen from the gonads that is unaffected by the use of an AI. This will vary from person to person as well. Buy HMG is a great tool and umm happy to see guys on this board discussing the use of HMG and simply knowing what it is. For years I've been promoting the use of it and I'm guessing price was a factor of why a lot of guys never really looked into it.

If you are looking to end your cycle soon you could use HMG daily or how ever often your wallet permits, eod is fine as well. Then you look at the two pre serm usage. Most often the biggest mistake guys make going into a pct is starting and ending too soon will ruin the pct and many times cause an estrogen rebound leaving you with a estrogen dominance again. Two weeks after an ester like enanthate is not going to be low enough after14 days. But if you either switch to a short ester the final 4 weeks or take 7 days off after your last E inject, then blast hcg at 500 mcg or HMG at 75 iu daily for the14 days after you week break , then another 3 days after the synthetic LH or FSH signals,you will still have an elevated T serum but depending on your body and the amount of aromatase enzymes you have, you will need to manage estro during this time as well. Each time T increases, your body responds by producing estro.

But ur this provides ample time for the TE type ester to clear enough to start your serm and I would run an AI and if it's adex I would cut the dose in half after the second week and finish at the lower dose. This is a great time to run ostarine as well, the dosage on that is still a controversy on what dose will cause some HPTA shut down, and if it does so at all. But IGF-Lr3 is a great tool to add to your post cycle as well as Gh or Gh peptides all of which are going to make for a much smoother transition of coming off the hormone , while maintaining a T dominant environment with growth factors as well.


I typically say say run torem 5 weeks but the use of serms itself can be a risk of causing a blood clot. Nattokineses and serrapeptase are know to destroy blood clots with out effecting normal clotting, they simply begin to dissolve a clot if you have one.


Sorry for for all that. The simple answer to the dose of HMG is 75iu. Daily use on a cycle can be beneficial, but I don't know that it's necessary. And I have not ever read anything saying a higher dose is better or will have any effect.

HCG versus HMG is one better than the other, and can they be taken together?

Study below shows taking both HCG AND HMG COMBINED AT 2 INJECTIONS PER WEEK OF EACH (5,000 HCG) (75 I.U.HMG) YIELDED SPERM COUNT FROM NONE!


The effects of hCG-hMG treatment in 13 boys with pituitary dwarfism associated with gonadotropin deficiency, were assessed. No patients except one showed signs of puberty at a bone age of 13 years or above. The one patient with some signs of puberty did not become fully mature. The hCG-hMG was started at a mean age of 20.4 years. The hCG at a dose of 5,000 IU was injected intramuscularly twice a week and the hMG at a dose of 75 IU was given once a week at first. During treatment, the frequency of hMG injections was increased to twice a week in six patients who still had not produced normal sperm counts. After a mean duration of 19.23 months, spermatozoa appeared in eight patients, of whom four showed more than 20 x 10(6) sperm/ml. Among six patients who did not have normal sperm counts and had increased hMG injections, one produced a pregnancy and four achieved sperm counts of more than 35 x 10(6)/ml. One patient had refractory azoospermia. In 13 boys with growth hormone and gonadotropin deficiency, hCG-hMG treatment produced normal spermatogenesis in nine patients, one of whom fathered a girl. Thus, hCG-hMG treatment, especially twice-a-week injections of both hCG and hMG, appears to be effective for gonadotropin deficiency in males.
 
[h=1]Maintenance of spermatogenesis in hypogonadotropic hypogonadal men with human chorionic gonadotropin alone.[/h]Depenbusch M1, von Eckardstein S, Simoni M, Nieschlag E.
[h=3]Author information[/h]

[h=3]Abstract[/h][h=4]OBJECTIVE:[/h]<abstracttext label="OBJECTIVE" nlmcategory="OBJECTIVE">It is generally accepted that both gonadotropins LH and FSH are necessary for initiation and maintenance of spermatogenesis. We investigated the relative importance of FSH for the maintenance of spermatogenesis in hypogonadotropic men.</abstracttext>
[h=4]SUBJECTS AND METHODS:[/h]<abstracttext label="SUBJECTS AND METHODS" nlmcategory="METHODS">13 patients with gonadotropin deficiency due to idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (IHH), Kallmann syndrome or pituitary insufficiency were analyzed retrospectively. They had been treated with gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) (n=1) or human chorionic gonadotropin/human menopausal gonadotropin (hCG/hMG) (n=12) for induction of spermatogenesis. After successful induction of spermatogenesis they were treated with hCG alone for maintenance of secondary sex characteristics and in order to check whether sperm production could be maintained by hCG alone. Serum LH, FSH and testosterone levels, semen parameters and testicular Volume were determined every three to six Months.</abstracttext>
[h=4]RESULTS:[/h]<abstracttext label="RESULTS" nlmcategory="RESULTS">After spermatogenesis had been successfully induced by treatment with GnRH or hCG/hMG, hCG treatment alone continued for 3-24 Months. After 12 Months under hCG alone, sperm counts decreased gradually but remained present in all patients except one who became azoospermic. Testicular Volume decreased only slightly and reached 87% of the Volume achieved with hCG/hMG. During treatment with hCG alone, FSH and LH levels were suppressed to below the detection limit of the assay.</abstracttext>
[h=4]CONCLUSION:[/h]<abstracttext label="CONCLUSION" nlmcategory="CONCLUSIONS">Once spermatogenesis is induced in patients with secondary hypogonadism by GnRH or hCG/hMG treatment, it can be maintained in most of the patients qualitatively by hCG alone, in the absence of FSH, for extended periods.

[h=3]Author information[/h]

[h=3]Abstract[/h]<abstracttext>Stimulatory therapy with either GnRH or gonadotropins is an effective treatment to induce spermatogenesis and achieve paternity in men with secondary hypogonadism. However, there is still uncertainty about the optimal treatment modality and schedule, the duration of treatment necessary and the influence of interfering factors such as maldescended testes. We have extended our previous series of men treated for secondary hypogonadism and now present our therapeutic experience with 42 cases. Twenty-one patients with hypothalamic disorders (11 with idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (IHH) and 10 with Kallmann syndrome (KalS)) were treated with GnRH (group Ia) or human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG)/human menopausal gonadotropin (hMG) (group Ib), and 21 patients with hypopituitarism (group II) were treated with hCG/hMG. A total of 5 7 treatment courses were initiated for induction of spermatogenesis, 36 of these for the purpose of induction of pregnancy in the female partner. Bilateral testicular volumes doubled within 5-12 months of therapy. Spermatogenesis as evidenced by the appearance of sperm in the ejaculate was induced in 54/57 courses. Pregnancies occurred in 26/36 courses. Unilaterally maldescended testes did not preclude patients with IHH or KalS from gaining fertility under therapy and spermatogenesis could be successfully initiated even in some individuals with bilateral maldescended testes. In general there was a tendency for a longer duration of therapy until induction of spermatogenesis in patients with a history of bilateral cryptorchidism. However, this did not reach statistical significance. In patients with IHH or KalS treated with either hCG/hMG or GnRH there were no statistically significant differences in terms of duration to appearance of sperm or pregnancy rates. Even in KalS patients as old as 43 years spermatogenesis could be induced. In repeatedly treated patients stimulation of spermatogenesis tended to be faster while time until induction of pregnancy was significantly shorter in the second treatment course. In conclusion, GnRH or hCG/hMG are effective therapeutic modalities for patients with IHH or KalS. It remains to be determined whether highly purified urinary gonadotropin preparations or recombinant LH and FSH will provide therapeutic advantages.</abstracttext>

 
bumping for the recent HCG questions, and I'm still looking for the Article I posted about why H.C.G. is best taken during your cycle as opposed to post cycle therapy

still looking for it
 
Someone who if I'm thinking of the right guy claimed to be an HRT specialist which he was really pushing gear in an ingenious way at high cost claimed use of hcg during cycle was best because it allowed HPTA to remain while using gear but I don't see it happening. Yes it may increase size but that doesn't mean function. If I get time and think about it ill post the article. There's another by Eric something who sold supplements but like a PCT supp etc and wrote an article about using HCG during a cycle and the benefits of it being better than a blast post.

Those are opinion articles from what I saw. What presser posted is clinical trials and information based on fact. You should be able to sit down and read over those and decide which is best for you but its hard to tell without lots of testing. For instance I know many guys, myself included who had a baby on a year long cycle, but now in my mid to late 30's my sperm count drops to zero on a cycle. I use the same things same precautions but I'm on legitimate HRT as well. I am able to increase my sperm count when on just HRT with a combination of hcg, hmg, and Clomid which I hate. Always have preferred totem but we aren't trying to have any more kids so I do t waste the money to test it but I did at one time replace Clomid with totem from a RC and honestly my numbers reduced so it could have been the research company I got my totem from when I was using all prescription meds before, either way we still never had another baby.

But my point is its hard to say because I've seen labs from guys on heavy long cycles with higher the normal sperm counts compared to a guy running no gear ever at the same or similar age. I don't know how its possible but I didn't create people. Either way its my own opinion real HCG is great to blast right before pct then start your torem, or serm of choice, ai, and I swear by using ostarine in pct it helps maintain size and strength but you have to be careful of dosing or it will negatively impact HPTA. I have a friend that only uses hcg, ostarine and gw51whatever. It makes no sense to me but he bounces back quick may lose 5 lbs and then gain it back after 4 to 6 weeks.

Here's a tip. People start their seems way to soon. They don't give time for esters to clear. Two weeks is not long enough for a test e and deca cycle to be low enough to clear especially the deca. I use to switch to short esters at least 3 weeks prior to pct usually 4 weeks. Then I would blast hcg and I ran my seems 6 weeks to be sure. It worked for me I'm not say I g this is what pct should be. At one time I didn't do any pct and the most I felt was lethargic but was still getting females and functioning but I was young like 25. But that doesn't mean 25 year olds don't need pct either just the opposite the really need it. I personally like being on HRT if you look at clinical studies men who died of heart attact, stroke etc were estrogen dominant meaning low T. This was post mortem so it had nothing posted about life style so I assume they are all garbage and sat on the couch if they weren't at work if the did work so I haven't found s good study in a med journal saying HRT will preserve youthfulness but I can tell you if you look at me at my age and look at guys I went to high school with I can't believe how old they look

I think low dose pharmaceutical gh also will play a tool in this it does so many things but increasing collagen is a great one. Just lifting weights and eating decent will help maintain you but water is one of the most important things you can have. Our bodies are mainly water and if you want your skin and organs to hold up drink plenty of it. Sorry I'm off topic but any post about if hcg is better on cycle really is not a given because we are all made different we metabolize things at different rates, have wildly different fat stores, insulin sensitivity and a list to long to mention besides genetics. So yes it may be a good thing to use hcg on cycle it may help for an easier pct in some or most people but not all. I see some people that pct is so hard in them they just quit training if they aren't on gear. What's the point. Gear is wonderful but its what you put I to that makes the gear work to begin with. Anyways if you find your article post it. Ill look when/if I have time for a couple guys wrote that are subjective but sound good but they are in cloud storage and I'm so busy these days I'm lucky I had time to post this novel.

But I also want to note "my friend" use to get a minimum of 50 bottles of 5000 iu hcg from a good supplier. Over to e it turned to shit and I do t tho k it worked at all. My pint being hcg should spike test after use so you can test total test to see if its real but keep in mind hcg produces estrogen from the testicles that an ai will have no effect on so be careful how and when you use it. You don't need excess estro that you can't get rid of or block with an AI while trying to restore your HPTA. But a couple week blast with so to take care of estro from the T you were using helps and that estro created in the testes will subside when you stop using it. Take a day off. Start serm, ai, and I love to throw in ostarine but don't believe everything you read because I have ran ostarine at 25, 33, 50,66,75,99,100 and 132mg and my estro went up. I was on just HRT and started getting gyno bad which I shouldn't say getting I have gyno until I decide to have surgery but you really can't see it and I can control it but I can always feel a pea size knot. Why the whole area around my nipple swells and hurts to put on a T-Shirt I know estro or prolactin or both are high. But prolactin typically wont get to high unless estro is out of control and I feel best with my estro higher than 28. Not sure why but 35 or so I feel good. If I stayed in range considered optimal ill get half hard in case you were wondering. Pint is we are all different and will have different effects from running compounds certain ways you have to find what works for you. I personally love TE and ND and will sometimes use TP and NPP with it the whole cycle and drop the long esters 5 or 6 weeks prior to pct when I did since I was using both shirt and long esters its all an experiment with your body like some guys seem to lose hair faster on certain androgens where others don't. Its called genetics so we are all predisposed to certain things its a matter of spending the time and money to see what works for you including labs and I don't mean total test and estro with maybe liver kidneys and CBC. Get full on blood workups, echo of heat, do d out what it does to u. Trust me my labs look great except hematocrit and lipids so that's where I'm real careful but you have to be willing to do all steps not just get gear go to the gym and buy a medium shirt to look big and walk around with FLS( fake lat syndrome)

Be safe and please post your article if personally like to read it. Google can find anything. Sorry if a lot of misspelled words on a phone and my auto correct sucks and I don't even want to go back and read all this my eyes hurt. Lol.
 
HMG and HCG usage, and how they work together, or separately. Not enough talk about this stuff here and how best to keep your natural functions working properly during and after a cycle.
 
HMG and HCG usage, and how they work together, or separately. Not enough talk about this stuff here and how best to keep your natural functions working properly during and after a cycle.

Based on the literature, is there a preferred protocol for artificially maintaining LH/FSH functions long term? I didn't have time to dissect all the material, but most protocols used in the studies seemed to favour high dose HCG (5000IU multiple times weekly) in conjunction with lower dose(?) HMG - My concerns immediately after looking at that were potential induction of primary hypogonadism via densitization of Leydig's cells to LH/analogue. All of my research points to HCG dosing at that level being unsustainable, or am I out to lunch?

Just for reference, my current protocol (used whilst blasting & cruising year round) is simply 500IU HCG pinned subcutaneous twice weekly; timed the day before my twice weekly shot of test + whatever else (not running short esters these days). That keeps the boys full, but I am fully azoospermic and have been for 7 years. I've never experimented with HMG and I'm flying blind with regards to dosing and timing. Would adding in 75IU HMG twice weekly with my low dose HCG potentially induce spermatogensis in a sustainable way, or would it gradually lose effect? Is decreased FSH sensitivity in Sertoli cells a concern at that dose, or a long term usage of that dose?

I'm trying to figure out if HMG can be included as part of my HRT regimen, or if it's more of a "use as needed", ie. blast it until you put a bun in the oven kind of deal. I would like to be fertile year round so I can conceive organically when the time is right.

Also side question for any regular users of HMG: Have you noticed any other benefits to it's inclusion in your protocol? Any increased ejaculate volume or benefits to well-being physically or emotionally?
 
fDefining what Human Menopausal Gonadotropin is

HMG, or Human Menopausal Gonadotropin, is a supplement that was originally designed in the 1930s in order to treat child-bearing issues in women. However, this very effective supplement has since been used by bodybuilders and anti-aging clinics for its ability to naturally increase testosterone production inside the body.
HMG has been known to be a very safe and natural supplement, but bodybuilders who want to use it must closely monitor their health. Therefore, before you try HMG for your anti-aging efforts or even if you want to build muscle without using illegal steroids, make sure that you educate yourself on what Human Menopausal Gonadotropin is and how it works inside the body.
HMG has typically been used as an injectable supplement, but it is also available in pill form. However, the more popularly used type of HMG is the injectable type. This article will be focusing on this type.
Why Human Menopausal Gonadotropin is a great choice

HMG has been known as one of the best supplements to use when bodybuilding. There are several reasons why HMG is a great choice to buy. One reason is that it will not raise estrogen levels – something that soy, yams, and other testosterone boosting supplements are known to do. Furthermore, by using Human Menopausal Gonadotropin, bodybuilders can avoid having to inject themselves with illegal steroids or growth hormones.
Another reason why HMG is a great choice is because of its ability to naturally amplify the body’s natural levels of testosterone. While your age and environmental factors can suppress this, you will find that by using Human Menopausal Gonadotropin on a regular basis, you will begin noticing an increase in muscle mass and strength as well as more positive effects such as improved child-bearing capabilities.
One other reason why bodybuilders have been turning to HMG is that it provides the ability to help you retain muscle mass while losing weight. This is a great quality for any supplement if you are looking to lose weight and still keep your muscles.
Additionally, HMG has also been used to help older individuals who are experiencing problems with energy, weight management, and memory.
Another impressive quality about HMG is that it can help stop osteoporosis. This is another quality of the supplement that makes it ideal for bodybuilders who are looking to build lean muscle naturally.
How Human Menopausal Gonadotropin works inside the body

The way HMG works inside the body is through a process called the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadotropic axis. The HMG works by increasing FSH and LH levels, which allows for testosterone to be produced naturally inside the body.
Once HMG is injected, it is absorbed through the muscle tissue, where it is then released into your body. Because HMG can be used on a regular basis to boost testosterone production inside of your body, it has become very popular among anti-aging clinics and biotechnology companies.
In simpler terms, using HMG as a supplement will allow the body to naturally produce its own supply of testosterone, which can not only help give you improved levels of libido but also improve your energy levels as well as stamina.
In addition, HMG is now being used outside of biotechnology and anti-aging clinics because it has been known to build lean muscle and reduce body fat through its ability to boost testosterone levels. As mentioned before, this is one of the main ways that HMG works inside the body – by boosting your natural production of testosterone.

The positive effects of using Human Menopausal Gonadotropin

There are a lot of positive effects that can be expected from the supplementation of HMG. The list below are just some of the most notable ones:

  • Increased levels of testosterone: One of the main reasons why people use HMG is because it has been shown to significantly increase levels of testosterone within the body. This increased level of testosterone can not only give you improved libido but also make it easier for your body to build muscle mass as well as burn fat if need be.
  • Congenial hypogonadism treatment: Because HMG is a natural supplement, it can be used to treat congenital hypogonadism. Congenial hypogonadism is a term that refers to the condition in which the body does not naturally produce enough testosterone.
  • Improved cognitive abilities: In addition to having improved levels of testosterone and libido, Human Menopausal Gonadotropin has been shown to produce increased levels of nitric oxide within the body, which has a great impact on your cognitive abilities and general health.
  • Improved cardiovascular health: The increased levels of nitric oxide production and testosterone along with reduced levels of LDL cholesterol is one of the key reasons why Human Menopausal Gonadotropin can have such a great impact on people’s cardiovascular health.
  • Heightened energy levels: One of the great benefits that you can expect to receive from using HMG is increased energy. Using this compound inside your body will allow it to naturally boost your levels of testosterone, which in turn gives you improved stamina and reduced fatigue when working out.
  • Increase lean muscle mass: Another one of the most notable uses for Human Menopausal Gonadotropin is that it has been shown to increase lean muscle mass and reduce body fat. This is due to the increased level of testosterone that your body experiences when you supplement with Human Menopausal Gonadotropin.
  • Enhanced recovery levels: Finally, using HMG can allow you to experience faster recovery times. This is because your body will be able to repair muscle tissue more quickly and efficiently while you are working out.
In short, the benefits of Human Menopausal Gonadotropin are vast. Not only can it help boost testosterone levels but it has also been shown to improve several areas of your health.
The potential side effects of abusing Human Menopausal Gonadotropin

However, there is also the possibility of experiencing potentially harmful side effects if HMG supplement is abused. The list below are some of the negative side effects of HMG abuse:

  • Decreased levels of LH: One of the most dangerous side effects is the suppression of luteinizing hormone (LH). When you use HMG in high amounts, it can cause your LH levels to become suppressed. This is because when LH levels are low, so too will testosterone production be.
  • Decreased levels of growth hormone: Another one of the negative effects that you can expect from an HMG overdose is a decrease in growth hormone. As with LH, when your levels of growth hormone are low, testosterone production will also become suppressed.
  • Decreased levels of IGF-1: When using Human Menopausal Gonadotropin at very high doses, another one of the negative effects you can expect to experience is a decrease in IGF-1 levels.
  • Long-term suppression of testosterone: The final negative effect that you can experience from HMG overdose is long-term suppression of your natural testosterone levels. This occurs when taking Human Menopausal Gonadotropin in high amounts over a prolonged period of time.
  • Decreased HDL cholesterol: One of the positive side effects of using HMG is an increase in HDL cholesterol. This is because your levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol will decrease when you use Human Menopausal Gonadotropin.
  • Lower levels of estrogen: The use of Human Menopausal Gonadotropin can also decrease your levels of estrogen. This is because Human Menopausal Gonadotropin has been shown to boost testosterone production while inhibiting the conversion of testosterone into estrogen.
It is important to remember that you should never use HMG without consulting your doctor and obtaining a prescription. This is because there are several potentially harmful side effects associated with the abuse of Human Menopausal Gonadotropin, including infertility and even heart attack.
 
The proper dosage instructions for Human Menopausal Gonadotropin

The right way to enjoy the positive effects while avoiding the negative side effects of HMG is by using it according to the proper dosage instructions. Here are the dosage recommendations for Human Menopausal Gonadotropin:

  • For people that are suffering from hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, it is recommended that they take up to 5 IU per day for a period of several months.
  • People who are suffering from a condition where their testes have ceased production can enjoy the positive effects by taking 10 IU per day. However, these benefits will only occur when the Human Menopausal Gonadotropin is taken for several months.
  • People who are looking to boost their natural testosterone levels can take up to 10 IU per day for a period of 4 weeks. However, it is important that you do not abuse this dosage amount because it can cause your LH levels to become suppressed.
  • Bodybuilders that are looking for a way to increase muscle mass and improve their performance in the gym can take 10 IU per day. On workout days, you should take an additional 5 IU doses 30 minutes before beginning your workout.
In order for this supplement to be effective when it is taken orally, it must be micronized or crushed into microscopic granules so it can be absorbed properly. You should never inject Human Menopausal Gonadotropin that is made for oral consumption only.
Can Human Menopausal Gonadotropin be stacked for better results?

Stacking HMG is the perfect way to enhance the benefits you receive from it. Here are some of the supplements that can easily be stacked with Human Menopausal Gonadotropin:

  • SARMs: SARMS are synthetic compounds that mimic the effects of steroids, but they do not cause any side effects or lead to addiction. They also have no effect on your body’s hormone levels.
  • Creatine: Creatine is another great supplement that you can stack with Human Menopausal Gonadotropin to see better results when it comes to your workouts and reduce recovery times after a strenuous workout.
Is Human Menopausal Gonadotropin a legal supplement?

The legal status of Human Menopausal Gonadotropin is questionable. This is because it is considered to be a prescription drug in certain countries, but you can purchase it over the counter in some other countries.

Expanding on the topic of Human Menopausal Gonadotropin (HMG) use during and post steroid cycles, the aim is to offer readers a more in-depth understanding of how HMG functions, its benefits compared to other fertility drugs like Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG), and to provide a comprehensive guide on dosages, timing, and potential side effects.


Understanding HMG: An Overview


Human Menopausal Gonadotropin (HMG) is a fertility drug that is used to stimulate the testes in men, particularly in the context of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism caused by steroid use. Unlike HCG, which mimics the action of luteinizing hormone (LH) alone, HMG provides a combination of LH and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), making it crucial for spermatogenesis and testosterone production.


HMG vs. HCG: A Comparative Insight


HCG is often used during steroid cycles to maintain testicular size and function, helping to prevent testicular atrophy. However, HMG goes a step further by stimulating the testes to produce both sperm and testosterone, thanks to its FSH component. This makes HMG particularly useful for bodybuilders and athletes coming off steroid cycles, aiming to restore their natural hormone production and fertility.


Dosages and Timing


The typical dosage for HMG varies depending on the individual’s specific needs, but it is commonly administered at doses ranging from 75 to 150 IU per day. Treatment duration can also vary, often continuing for several weeks to several months, depending on the individual’s response to the therapy.


Monitoring and Side Effects


While undergoing HMG therapy, it’s crucial to monitor hormonal levels and sperm count regularly. Potential side effects include gynecomastia, swelling, and mood swings, which are usually dose-dependent. Consulting with a healthcare professional to adjust dosages as necessary is key to minimizing side effects.


Conclusion


Incorporating HMG into post-cycle therapy can significantly aid in restoring natural hormone levels and fertility. However, its use should be carefully managed and monitored. Users should consider the benefits of HMG in comparison to HCG, particularly the ability of HMG to stimulate both LH and FSH, which is essential for comprehensive recovery after steroid use.
