Heads or tales

Darn, you guys are bringing my hopes down. To be honest, libido is the main area that I really want to see improvement in, but him feeling better overall is most important.

Is there a way to determine if he is primary or secondary hypogonadal? He hasn’t had any injuries to the testes that he knows of anyway. Could a head injury trigger it possibly? (He suffered a 20’ ft fall 6 yrs ago that resulted in a gash on his head and a c5 vertebrae fracture).

We do plan on future kids, tentatively planning on trying this winter. Sperm banking is something we’d really rather not do unless absolutely necessary. Of course it is possible he already has low sperm count, we’ve never tried to conceive yet.
I'm primary before I started trt my LH was 14 plus, your LH is 4. 4 so to me it looks like your secondary. Clomid should be your first choice.
 
I hope that he becomes a horny teenager! Btw, I have to ask...are you older than him (Mrs. Robinson)
Me too! We met as teenagers, and kinda missed that stage.
Ah, I suppose my username isn’t too accurate. I am older, but only by 2 years. I don’t think I’m old enough to qualify as a cougar ;)

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.
