Need help; Fertility Test

[Antisosa]

I have been on TRT for 1.5 years now.

• I have been on Testosterone cypionate - 50mg e3.5d for the majority of this 1.5 years.
• 300 IU of hcG every 3 days
• For the last 2 months I have changed my protocol to test cyponiate - 40mg e3.5 days. I wanted to see if I felt any better as my e2 was high and test numbers were close to 1000.

I want to try to have a child w/ my wife and I have been trying for 2 months now, no luck. Has anyone got their sperm tested? What is the process of this? Does insurance cover it?

I basically want to know if TRT has made me infertile or not.

Call your insurance to find out if they cover it. Mine does. Very simple. You can either collect at home or at the lab. Basically you ejaculate in a plastic container and they will test for number, motility, forward progression, etc. A “normal” count is 20 million per ml. But things like forward progression and morphology can impact your fertility as well.
