I am a data point of resuscitation of fertility. Confirmed to be shooting blanks after years of juice, and decided to see if I could reactivate by following the broscience (and all the pubmed papers) on the topic.

An aggressive protocol of HCG and HMG (analogues for FSH and LH in the pituitary) reactivated the testes to get back to spermatogenesis and T production after about 5 years of complete dormancy. It took about 4 months of daily needles and well-timed marital conception-attempts. The son I fathered as a result is anecdotally very strong and a voracious eater. My urologist said it sounded like I knew everything I needed to do and was satisfied to let me self-treat.



To clarify, did you try to conceive approximately four times (four months)? Because from what I hear that isn't exactly unheard of in people that aren't on the juice.


No, it was about a year of multiple attempts per ovulation before I decided to get serious and bring my whole HTPA under control.
