Need Some TRT advice

I am 32 years old. My urologist put me on clomid 12.5mg EOD for low T about a year ago. It worked ok for a little while but seems to be not working as much. He gave me a script for Testosterone Cypionate 200mg to try instead with the instructions of 1cc every 10-14 days. Here is my question. What are the chances of becoming completely sterile from using the injections? My wife is pregnant now but we may want to have another baby in a year or two. Should I stay with the clomid, even though the results haven't been that great?


Thanks
 
Sam Hi, Nelson Vergel I believe would tell you to get tested to see if you can get your wife pregnant when on testosterone, if you can't most use HCG for making sperm and penis sensitive.

Hey,

Thanks for the reply. So you think its safe to start the Test now? Or should I make another appt. with my doctor and ask him about giving me some HCG?
 
Sam, if I was trying to get my wife pregnant and was on TRT, I sure would be using HGC. I'm using it and I'm not trying to get anyone pregnant :)
 
If it's a question in your mind, the question of having another child, I'd postpone TRT until I'd spoken at some length to my doctor about that issue.
 
Your doctors is not really up to speed on TRT. If he was, he would know better than to tell you to inject every once 10 to 14 days. That is pretty much guaranteed to make you feel like hell. Try 50 mg twice a week instead to start. For your Test Cyp 200, that would be 25 IUs on the syringe twice a week.
 
ERO raises an excellent point. The half life of testosterone is such that you are almost certain to feel rocky by the time your next injection comes around on the protocol your doctor prescribed. I have just moved from 100 mg/week to 60 mg every 3.5 days. I actually felt pretty good on 100 mg weekly...but did notice hypogonadal symptoms a day or two before my next shot. hope to feel even better on the split-dose approach.

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.
