HMG vs. hCG + FSH

centeroiler

New member
I asked this in the PCT section and got no answers.

If I understand correctly, HMG is a compound that is basically like hCG + FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone). Question, can I use recombinant FSH along with hCG and achieve the same results as if I used HMG? I got a shitload of 75iu amps of FSH from someone who finished in-vitro and I'd like to use them along with hCG, but I don't know how much to take or how often. Help is appreciated.
 
hmmm

think the HMG with a tad of HCG would be the best bet
Swole and Nelson know the most about this stuff

Geez..., anyone? Swole? Nelson? Bueller?......Bueller?

You'd think with all the bros talk on here about LH and FSH, someone might know something about this.

???
 
I guess there is a lot of mystery when it comes to using FSH, which makes me wonder why HMG is recommended so freely.

I guess I'll just have to become a guinea pig try it.
 
HMG is FSH

I'm assuming your vial of FSH is 75iu correct?

You going to use this on cycle or PCT?

On cycle I'd do 500iu HCG and 75iu HMG weekly

and for PCT 500iu and 75iu twice weekly

don't forget to take your aromasin the day before and the day of your HCG injects, it keeps the estrogen from spiking
 
I'm not quite sure exactly what you're asking. Using FSH would bring similar results to HCG though there are a few mechanisms that are missed. HMG gets the body to go through the process of stimulating FSH so it too is different , and I think, preferable.

Thank you swole. I had just about given up on anyone answering this question. Its surprising that so few bros know how to use this stuff.

Yes, they are 75iu amps and I got like 40 of them. I want to use them for both. For on-cycle, I will discontinue it along with hCG two weeks after my last inject of Enanthate.

Just a note, I know there are a lot of bros out there that don't like to inject. Especially if they're on an oral-only cycle. I personally know guys that aren't getting the benefits of hCG because they just refuse to shoot it. I made up a pH balanced sublingual hCG formula for my last PCT and it worked great. In fact, I was really shocked at how great it worked. I'm going to make up some sublingual hCG/FSH for my next cycle. I'm already pinning 3-4 times a week and don't feel like doing it anymore.

Hey Nelson, I was hoping you'd weigh-in on this.

I don't know the whole skinny on the mechanisms of HMG. A quick search on here yielded very little info. I just want to use the FSH I got, if its of use for on-cycle or PCT. And, I'm assuming that it is. I just wanted to know the best dosages.

Plus, I can't find HMG anywhere.

just shoot the hcg or hmg sub-q

I do shoot it, but I was getting tired of it. I wanted to try it sublingually. Its just a lot easier than prepping to shoot and allows me to space it out more. But if you do it with B12 and Colloidal Silver like the weightloss folks do, a lot of it is wasted. I used a formula my Pharmacist buddy gave with a particular ratio of Propylene Glycol, Alcohol and Distilled water and then pH balanced it and it honestly worked just as good. You just have to use a bit more. I figure 60-70%+ absorption.

I might try his nasal spray next.

wtf?? I got way too much time on my hands.

Not true. HMG is a mixture of FSH, LH and some list HCG. So, I don't see why HMG would be any better at stimulating endogenous FSH or LH.

As soon as I have the doses figured out to best simulate natural excretion of both FSH and LH, I'm going to run this daily on my next cycle.
 
Also, check this out from Pubmed:

Reinitiation of sperm production in gonadotropin-suppressed normal men by administration of follicle-stimulating hormone
Alvin M. Matsumoto, Anthony E. Karpas, C. Alvin Paulsen, and William J. Bremner

"The specific roles of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) in controlling human spermatogenesis are poorly understood. We studied the effect of an experimentally induced, selective LH deficiency on sperm production in normal men. After a 3-mo control period, five men received 200 mg testosterone enanthate (T) i.m./wk to suppress LH, FSH, and sperm counts. Then, while continuing T at the same dosage, human FSH (hFSH) was administered simultaneously to replace FSH activity, leaving LH activity suppressed. Four men received 100 IU hFSH s.c. daily plus T (high dosage hFSH) for 13-14 wk, while one man received 50 IU hFSH s.c. daily plus T (low dosage hFSH) for 5 mo. The effect on sperm production of the selective LH deficiency produced by hFSH plus T administration was assessed.
In the four men who received the high dosage hFSH regimen, sperm counts were markedly suppressed during T administration alone (0.3±0.2 million/cm3, mean±SE, compared with 94±12 million/cm3 during the control period). Serum LH bioactivity (determined by in vitro mouse Leydig cell assay) was suppressd (140±7 ng/ml compared with 375±65 ng/ml during control period) and FSH levels (by radioimmunoassay) were reduced to undetectable levels (<25 ng/ml, compared with 98±21 ng/ml during control period) during T alone. With the addition of 100 IU hFSH s.c. daily to T, sperm counts increased significantly in all subjects (33±7 million/cm3, P < 0.02 compared with T alone). However, no subject consistently achieved sperm counts within his control range. Sperm morphology and motility were normal in all four men and in vitro sperm penetration of hamster ova was normal in the two men tested during the hFSH-plus-T period. During high-dosage hFSH administration, serum FSH levels increased to 273±44 ng/ml (just above the normal range for FSH, 30-230 ng/ml). Serum LH bioactivity was not significantly changed compared with the T-alone period (147±9 ng/ml). After the hFSH-plus-T period, all four men continued to receive T alone after hFSH was stopped. Sperm counts were again severely suppressed (0.2±0.1 million/cm3), demonstrating the dependence of sperm production on hFSH administration.
Serum T and estradiol (E2) levels increased two- to threefold during T administration alone compared with the control period. Both T and E2 levels remained unchanged with the addition of hFSH to T, confirming the lack of significant LH activity in the hFSH preparation.
In the one man who received low dosage hFSH treatment, sperm counts were reduced to severely oligospermic levels, serum FSH was suppressed to undetectable levels, and serum LH bioactivity was markedly lowered during the T-alone period. With the addition of 50 IU hFSH s.c. daily to T, sperm counts increased, to a mean of 11±3 million/cm3. During this period, serum FSH levels increased to a mean of 105±11 ng/ml (slightly above this man's control range and within the normal adult range), while LH bioactivity remain suppressed. After hFSH was stopped and T alone was continued, sperm counts were again severely reduced to azoospermic levels.
We conclude that FSH alone is sufficient to reinitiate sperm production in man during gonadotropin suppression induced by exogenous T administration. FSH may stimulate sperm production in this setting by increasing intratesticular T through androgenbinding protein production or by increasing the sensitivity of the spermatogenic response to the intratesticular T present during exogenous T administration."

It seems that FSH may be just as important, or more so. than LH or hcg in the reproductive health of men recovering from a steroid cycle.
 
I wish this stuff was as available as HCG, this is exactly what i need, i've been reading alot on this lately and it seems like a much better PCT than just HCG alone, or clomid and nolva.

I finally was able to find HMG after a bit of looking, but its expensive. I'm just going to use the FSH I got and mix it with hCG. I want to run hCG and FSH optimally to simulate my own gonadotropin production during my next cycle. I don't see any real advantage with HMG over my mix. But, after some research, I can definately see the advantage of HMG over hCG alone.
