Low-T, H, TTC.

If your H was on hormone therapy before TTC for low-T, then went off when you decided to TTC, what happened?

H has been on Clomid for awhile and now he'll be switching to the implant, as the Clomid has done nothing for his levels. We're planning on TTC in 3-4 years and I'm afraid that in 3-4 years, his sperm count will be depleted and we will not be able to bring it back up (which I've read happens often).

I already have problems carrying as well.

Sorry for the AE. We've kept this matter private and my bump name is personalized.

    This question sounds more appropriate for a urologist that specializes in male factor fertility. A man being treated for low T is generally given Testosterone which can effect sperm counts. We were told it was like being on birth control. I'm guessing by implant you mean the testosterone pellets which would also have the same effect. I am not familiar with Clomid being used to treat low T however we are using it along with an estrogen blocker to increase sperm count which doesn't sound like what you are looking for if you are planning to wait 34 years.

    Best of luck!

    My husband got put on the hcg shots. 2500 iu mwf. In two months his testosterone went from 200 to 817! He was never on t therapy though and this was more of a "quick fix".

    My best friend's DH had the testosterone pellets about a year and a half ago and and his SA came back with 0 sperm for the first year of TTC. Last check in I think was 24 mil or something. I wouldn't risk it if his sperm count is normal already. Unless the symptoms are worse than your want for kids in the future.
