Secondary IF

New here (Male Infertility)- Question

I am hoping to find someone on here that is going through the same thing as I am just looking for support.

Background- We have been trying for just under a year. So far, DH's d/x is low testosterone. The medications that he was prescribed did not show any improvement. We were recommended to the Urologist. I went with DH last Friday. He was screened and given scripts for blood work (including pituitary levels), a scrotal ultrasound, and semen analysis. His next app't is on May 28. What is the usual game plan/ follow-up procedures? The urologist told him to stop taking the current medication. This all new to us. Please feel free to respond here or PM me.

Re: New here (Male Infertility)- Question

  • I am so sorry you are going thru this. My dh had the same tests which were send to our RE and then after doing work up on me decided what is best to do. For us we tried IUI which failed for kid number two. Now we moved IVF and FET. 

    Best of luck and keep us posted.

  • What medication was he on?  My DH had low testosterone and he took 50 mg of clomid every other day, which helped us conceive DD.  We still have low sperm count, but his testosterone levels are ok so we are on to IUI for #2.

    My DH also has low testosterone.  His urologist told him to not take anything for it because testosterone replacement supplements actually prevent sperm production.  If all the blood work comes back good it might be genetic.  Our Urologist had a genetic testing done which showed that DH had a microdeletion of the b1/b3 section of his Y chromosome.  That helps with sperm production.
