Low T in SO

in TTC after 35

We found out we were pregnant in Dec. ( have had MC in Feb at 11 1/2 weeks)  Right before I found out we were pregnant my hubby went in for his physical.  I had him talk to his Dr to see if he should be doing anything since we are both older and TTC and I am 39 and he is 41.

They tested his testosterone and other blood work.  I found out we were pregnant before his tests came back.  They came back and he is low testosterone.  He ended up going to the endocrinologist, she said since we are going to TTC again that he should wait to do anything for the low T, she did more blood work.  

Today he got a call from the Dr, the blood work came back lower T than last time, and she wants him to go in for an MRI of his pituitary glad to make sure all is ok.  

Of course now that we know all this I am so paranoid that it is going to take longer to get pregnant.  Last time we got pregnant first try, we were both thinking it was going to take months so I never took anything for granted thinking it would happen right away.

Has anyone had a SO that has had Low T?  Had an MRI on pituitary gland?  He goes in next Monday.

I am trying to not stress, I had AF for the first time the end of March, so we are waiting for me to get it one more time before we TTC again so in a few weeks we are going too.  I so hope this does not hinder us.

Just wondering what anyone thinks or has any information.

    My husband doesn't have low T, but I just wanted to say, that I am sorry that you are having to deal with another stress, after your m/c.  Fx'ed that all will be a quick fix and you will get your BFP real soon!  take care.....

    The initially thought that my husband had low T had for several months placed him on several different T supplements. I would be certain that when your husband goes to his doctors visit he informs them that he is currently trying to conceive. Testosterone supplements are basically like male birth control. It took us months to get it out of his system. Wishing you all the luck in the world!

    My hubby (36) and I (35) are also TTC since Feb. 2013. He just recently had blood work for Low T. Results are still pending. I am thankful for the info on low T supplements and inform the Dr that we are TTC and hold off on the supplements until we are prego.
