Hey the subject came up of fertility the other day and maybe kids. What does the usual timeline look like for actually destroying fertility without supplementation of HCG HMG and say after 9 months of fairly ridiculously blasting and a small cruise what are the odds I have already impacted it severely (like in terms of not being able to just supplement HMG HCG from now on and having a chance at that) I'm not like dying to have kids but it wouldn't be out of the question with this person. I'm more attached to blasting and cruising than I am the kids.
Blasting and cruising but potential for fertility?

Curious to know more on this too
If you’re unable or unwilling to use HCG or something like Clomid, your chances of maintaining or restoring fertility while on cycle drop significantly. That’s just the reality.
I work with my own fertility specialist who focuses specifically on men, but I also consult my wife’s fertility doctor. I actually appreciate her approach a lot—she’s very direct, no fluff, and respects honesty. I’ve been completely upfront with her about my usage, and she understands the situation, which makes a huge difference when it comes to getting real, practical guidance.
From what I’ve seen and experienced, you don’t necessarily need to overcomplicate things with protocols like HMG right away. For many guys, the foundation really comes down to:
Even while I was on cycle and running HCG alongside it, I was able to keep my sperm count around ~1 million. That’s obviously not optimal—you’d want it much higher—but considering the suppression from being on cycle, it’s not terrible either. It shows that function isn’t completely shut down if you’re managing things properly.
The key point is this:
Yes, it is possible to conceive while on cycle—but it’s not easy, and it’s definitely not guaranteed. You’re working against physiology, so it requires:
Anyone saying it’s completely impossible isn’t being accurate—but at the same time, it’s also not something you should take lightly or assume will just happen. You’re essentially trying to preserve or restore a system that’s being actively suppressed.
Bottom line:
You can still have a baby while on cycle, but you need to be intentional, informed, and willing to put in the extra work to make it happen—and ideally, do it under proper medical supervision.

From what I’ve seen and experienced, you don’t necessarily need to overcomplicate things with protocols like HMG right away. For many guys, the foundation really comes down to:
- HCG (to maintain intratesticular testosterone and testicular function)
- Clomid (to stimulate endogenous LH/FSH production)
- Good metabolic health, especially keeping insulin sensitivity in check

- Consistency with your protocol
- Regular bloodwork and semen analysis
- Adjustments based on real data, not guesswork
- Patience
