testosterone

pcaito

My dh had bw done for testosterone and the result was 292. the range is 280-800.  The urologist says he needs to call.  Dh hasnt done his SA yet, can only do it on weds, so next week.  Is there any supplements/ food dh can take?  What is the usual plan of action?

 DH feels bad about it, i dont know how to make him feel better.  Any ideas?

Thanks

292 is low, but it's not all that bad. My Dh's was 20 Have you had an SA done to see if it's affecting that? Whatever you do, do not use a gel like testim or androgel as they shut down sperm production. My urologist says HCG is the best course of action for raising the testosterone. I would get the SA ASAP, but don't freak out. His SA might be normal with a 292 testosterone. It's possible!

I tell him that being in the range is good.  I was looking up (should be working)  ways to raise- eating peanuts, oysters, cabbage, chicken, egg yolk can raise it.    SA will be next wed, the hospital only does it on wed, and we missed this past one.   we are getting results piece by piece.....  i am just waiting for july 29th!! it cant come fast enough! Thank you !

Boy do I ever understand. Waiting for our first SA was the longest time period of my life!! It will really help you to piece together what you need to do next. Hang in there... you'll be able to take some steps once you know exactly what's going on!
