Fertility question

New Member
28 year old male. I got my blood work done after the typical low test symptoms came back at sub 300. Probably due to some military/natural causes prior.

I was a little ignorant when I first started and my trt clinic never got LH/FSH on my bloods. I’m currently 3 weeks into 150mg test a week over 3 doses as well as HCG at 1500iu a week over 3 doses on days I don’t take my test. I’ve scheduled a “fertility” test with my doc which will probably end up being a semen analysis if I had to guess. As most people recommend getting one prior to starting TRT, will the fact that I’ll take one a month after starting show any decrease in sperm production?

Any other recommendations as far as fertility support during this? Are most of you having success with hcg? Will probably start looking to have kids within the next 2-3 years.

Thanks gents

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
