Dh found out that he has low end of normal testosterone (though I think for him the low end of normal is REALLY low). The PCP does not want to do anything about this for 3 months when she will retest. To me 3 months is forever in TTC land. I will be emailing Dr. Hickman the lab results and getting his opinion on Monday (have to get the actual labs from the Dr first).
Has anyone dealt with this before? We are already doing fertility aid and fertility boost

Sorry I'm no help. My dh hasn't had any labs done. Maybe I should make him go to have this done. I agree 3 months seems like forever in our world.

Kirsten...Sorry I am no help. When my dh went to the local urologist, I asked him about low t and the dr said he doesn't have it just by looking at him....but I still wish he would've tested him. How can they know for sure without bloodwork. Have a friend in lab who said she would test him if we wanted to...just haven't had the chance. Have you researched anything online about what can be done?

No I have not researched much yet. Gonna wait and talk to Dr. H since so much is contrary. Looking at Dh you would not think he has low testosterone, but he says he notices differences from his twenties, not as much interest in BD, etc.

My DH was tested for low T about 4 months ago because we highly suspected it, (belly fat, slow body hair growth, kinda depressed) have you ever saw that Low T commercial on TV, he had a bunch of it! BUT his blood work showed he was not low T, he was in the mid range. Soooo go figure!

yeah my DH has belly fat, almost no chest hair and depression (which runs in his family). I am not loving the idea of waiting 3 months, hope Dr. H has some suggestions
