[QUOTE="Mrs. Robinson, post: 84885, member: 16830"] I can't speak on the blood work levels, SHBG or free testosterone, since the one blood test he had done didn't specify any of those. I've seen the thread on the $29 test on here (from Defy), would that test measure all these levels? I'm not aware of any other health issues. He is really tall and slender (6'4" and 180 lbs), does not drink, smoke, or use any drugs. Diet wise, we could definitely both improve on that, but that is likely the lowest on his priority list. Neither of us cook hardly, and he's not a fan of 'health food'. No symptoms of sleep apnea. We are both night owls and consequently rarely get to bed as early as we should, so may be a small lack of sleep. Mainly the symptoms that have presented themselves are libido, or lack thereof, tiredness, general lack of motivation, and in the past, we did slightly suspect depression, which was somewhat job related at the time. He's never had a problem keeping an erection, just not easily aroused. If we can treat this naturally, yes that would be great. What vitamins does he need to take? He currently takes a daily multivitamin, along with a good vitamin D, magnesium, saw palmetto, and probiotic. I just don't have a lot of confidence with all those testosterone booster pills I see on the market. He tried one bottle once and ended up throwing it away. Unless our finances change drastically for the better next year, sperm banking and fertility treatments will be difficult to afford. Our insurance does not cover any fertility treatments, what's more is they won't cover a pregnancy achieved through treatments either (would have to be through vaginal insemination if we did freeze sperm). Is it worth freezing for maybe 6 months? Probably wouldn't hurt to give natural treatments a shot for those months and then check into TRT if its not working? [/QUOTE]
