Doesn't hcg continue sperm production for those taking exogenous T?
This is what my TRT POIS therapy looks like. Each and every evening (365 days/year) I place 2mg patches - -that you see in the photo above - - on my upper arms and/or thighs. When POIS attacks me, I increase the dosage. For the 10 years I’ve been doing this, it’s been with a doctor’s prescription and supervision, either an endocrinologist or primary care physician.Be careful, I lost my sperm count, probably because of my POIS therapy.
Correspondence between “Pyropeach” (very early forum Thought Leader) & me.TodayHi Demo,Just saw the latest published paper entitled: Successful treatment of POIS with human chronic gonadotropin. Demo, this is beyond amazing. The description of the symptoms are nearly an exact match to my own. I’ve recently been taking Maca supplements that claim to boost T levels, and it has been working moderately well for the past few months. Also discovered there is a small cyst on my pituitary gland, which produces hCG mentioned in the paper. Sorry for rambling, I’m just excited that this may really be the cure. Is there anyway I could try this treatment? How did you convince your doctor to administer T?Hope you’re well with all the corona going around.-PyroBtw - how are things at the old forum?[To Pyropeach] Great to hear from you!My T was low, so no prob qualifying for TRT!Can I post your letter + my reply?ps - “old forum” meaning the current one POISCenter.com or the old/old one at naked science forum?Demo,My last blood test showed my T level as “normal”, so the doctors here may not give me the treatment, will have to think more how to approach this. Yes, by all means! You got my 100% approval to post our correspondence. I might also mention that bodybuilding has also had a positive affect on the symptoms (I gained 40 lbs in muscle); pumping iron and lots of rare steak increases T, needless to say.Ah yes, I mean the current one at POISCenter…time has just flown by since the naked science forum days…-Pyro==========From February 14, 2020I’m near but not that near, LA is a good 7 hour drive for me. Will definitely try to get more details about the [POIS Research] study.Overall this is great news -Pyro
At POIS onset, I went back to 2 Benadryl this time (4x my usual dose!). Plus 4 TRT (also 4x my normal dose!) I slept a lot. No POIS. But groggy as hell from the Benadryl and “oversleeping”.Any suggestions?

They say zyrtec is non drowsy, but it makes me sleep much longer but its grogginess effects not as bad as benadryl.

CP2, if Zyrtec is non-drowsy then I might not sleep? “Extra” sleep is important to my protocol.
Thanks, CP2!It’s the sleep that helps the most. Even after a good night’s sleep, if POIS onset begins, it makes me need to sleep even MORE to have a curative effect. I don’t believe the antihistamine component helps at all!
