Miscellaneous | Fertility /Testosterone treat…

First post

I have started going to a new primary care doctor and have had some lab work done recently. She says that I have low testosterone levels. I am 28 years old and am 320 lbs and have been concerned about my weight. I also have some erectile dysfunction problems. She says that the testerone treatment will help this problem. I don't have too much problem when I am at home alone jacking off but when I am with a real woman I had a hard time getting an erection. I choose the injections rather then the cream. She says I will have to come back to her office every week to get the injection. I am really worried because I have read things online that says that testerone injections cause low sperm count in men. My doctor claims it won't effect that. I am really worried because I am 28 and don't have any kids yet and I really really want to be a dad more than anything in the whole world. I want to get married and make lots of babies. Has anyone had testerone treatments before and still had kids? Will it help my ED problem? Does anyone know do they give you the shot in the arm or in the butt? I hope she gives me the shot in the butt. Someone please answer this asap. I want to be able to make lots of babies.

Sounds like your weight is to blame.

I am about to go in for an appt at a fertility clinic for a sperm count check. I've never done this and thought you all might know what I can expect.

Obviously I will do the sample cup in a room. But I wasn't sure about the rest. Do they just call later with results and that's it?

Is there a comprehensive exam involved? Should I expect to drop trou and have my parts checked?

I had to take steroids when I was young and throughout puberty for my kidneys. I know that can lead to smaller or shrunken testicles. Would they use an orchidometer to measure? No doctor has ever done that but if any doc would it would be them no? I'm curious what the results would be.

Anyone done one of these appointments?

Expect an exam. Expect blood work and semen sample. Ask them about test results reporting. They'll probably be given at a future appointment when the doctor explains everything.

BTW, an experienced urologist/endocrinologist/fertility specialist doesn't need an orchidometer. They're looking for a healthy reproductive system or some reason why it's not.

Great info thank you!

I am 34, 6'1 and weigh 240lbs.

My T has been super low for a few years.

I had varicocele surgery to improve my sperm count and was told it could help my T. It went up from 7.2 to 7.5 which is still very low.

I noticed that I don't get as hard as I used to, no pulsating penis here.

My libido is up and down.

My urologist put me on clomid because he said it would improve my T but not kill my sperm.

Still doesn't bring it up.

I'm getting tested for sleep apnea but I'm thinking I may have to forget about a second child and get T treatments because I feel like shit all the time.

No energy. Tired all the time.

I also have ADHD and take Concerta 54mg once a day, I feel like that makes me horny but makes it hard to get an erection when it's in my system.

Any pointers are greatly appreciated.
