Fertility Protocol for Gear Users (HCG + HMG)
Most people will retain their fertility on cycles but just in case you’re unlucky you can use HCG, I would do a sperm analysis every 3-6 months.
If you want to preserve fertility and reduce testicular atrophy you can utilize HCG at 250iu EOD (watch out for E2), this can also be done during TRT or health phases.
When actively trying to conceive after prolonged suppression, HCG is typically increased to 1000-3000 IU EOD to strongly stimulate the Leydig cells and restore intratesticular testosterone (use this dose for minimum 3 months, so at least a full semen cycle, can be done for 6-12 months).
If sperm production remains inadequate or faster recovery is desired, HMG is added to provide FSH activity, directly stimulating the Sertoli cells responsible for spermatogenesis. The dose is 75-150 IU EOD for HMG.

Quick Summary – What is this?
This is a fertility preservation / recovery protocol commonly discussed in bodybuilding / anabolic steroid (“gear”) communities.
• HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) → Mimics LH to stimulate testosterone production in the testes and help prevent shrinkage (atrophy).
• HMG (Human Menopausal Gonadotropin) → Provides FSH activity to support sperm production (spermatogenesis).
