[QUOTE="lt84, post: 151943, member: 38976"] I hope I'm posting this in the correct place, as I'm a new member and not a typical use as my husband is not into lifting. Still hoping i can find some help here because we've had a rough few months in regards to TRT and fertility. We are desperate for answers as my husband badly wants another child and he is 41 (I'm 35 myself). Backstory: Husband began exhibiting signs of low T about two years ago-- perhaps even three years ago. I was pregnant at the time and we wrote off his initial lack of interest in sex due to me being pregnant. It continued after our son was born in Dec. 2016. Son was conceived naturally and easily. It got to the point where we'd gone close to a year without sex, so hubby finally agreed something was wrong. He also was having ED at this point. In Jan. of this year, we saw a uro who diagnosed him with low testosterone. Labs were drawn at 4:45 p.m. so his total number was probably a bit higher in the morning, but it was 160 as of Jan. Free T was within normal limits; FSH and LH both normal at 6; not elevated at all. We sought a testosterone clinic for help as his urologist didn't want to prescribe HCG or Clomid and we were looking to conceive. The clinic ended up placing him on the following regimen, which he began at the end of January: -100mg test cyp weekly (injected twice a week at 2x50mg) -800IU HCG weekly (injected w/ test twice a week at 2x400IU) -50mg Clomiphene (Clomid) daily -.3mg Anastrazole daily He also got Viagra to take as needed. Viagra helped with erections but he still complained of lack of sensation. After 3 months on this regimen, his blood was tested again. Total T level was 928 (also drawn at 5 p.m. so was probably higher in the morning), free T was 28, and LH/FSH were 0 and .2 respectively. He remained on this regimen for 4.5 months until last week when he finally got a sperm analysis that I'd been insisting on since he started the regimen. The SA showed zero sperm in the sample but sperm fragments in a prep stain. No wonder why we hadn't conceived. :/ Called the clinic and they advised him to stop TRT and anastrazole immediately. Clomid reduce to 50mg every other day; stay at 400IU HCG twice a week. Will retest blood and semen in 6-8 weeks. To say the least, these were not the results we were anticipating. I should also add that despite this crazy regimen, hubby says he felt and feels "absolutely no different." His sex drive has not improved whatsoever either. We have a double issue here; as restoring our sex life and his health is a top priority. But he wants a sibling for our son, so pregnancy is our immediate goal. I am fine with adoption or even a donor, but he isn't budging: he wants his own child if at all possible. We had a child 2.5 years ago, so this is all extremely confusing to us both.

I'm concerned a this point that the regimen actually zeroed out his sperm even with the HCG and Clomid. His T was low before (free T was OK), but his FSH and LH weren't crazy high and he was obviously still producing some testosterone. They did not test prolactin, so I don't have those numbers. Just looking for some input. TIA. [/QUOTE]
