So just a quick intro, im 31, been on trt for 3 months, had a crazy time starting. My urologist was giving me 400 mg of Test E once every 3 weeks. It was a disaster, my estrogen went crazy. So my GC prescribed me 1mg anastrozole every 3 days and to check blood work in 3-4 weeks. My last T shot was 5/6/16. Also went to a "TRT" specialist who scared the crap out of me because he said I should get my sperm frozen just incase TRT makes me infertile. So just paid for a semen analysis ($275) and should have results this week.
I am getting married soon and would love to have kids. So im not sure TRT is the way for me to go right now, maybe I should wait to have kids than go back on TRT. Either way doctor was going to try and prescribe me HCG (he said insurance companies always give him a tough time on getting it approved).
Now, lets say the semem analysis comes back and im fine, should i just blow off the whole scary thought of being infertile from TRT tx, and just continue. Because im not going to lie, i felt like a million bucks, both physically and mentally on TRT. I feel I've found a doctor who knows what hes doing, 200 cyp 1x a week, with anastrozole if my nipples flare up (did previously, obv that was 400 Test, which was crazy). I just don't want to risk in the RARE chance that I become infertile, that would be an absolute physical and emotional killer.
The place im doing the semem analysis takes no insurance, because they say the work they do rarely gets covered. To freeze the semem its $1000 first time, and $515 yearly charge after that, which I am considering doing to just be on the safe side. What are your guys thoughts?
