Fertility?

[DahlinS]

How likely do you think normal fertility is with this FSH?

LH 4.9 (1.5-9.3)
FSH 13.1( 1.8-8) H
DHEA 456 (85-690)
Testosterone, Total 356 (250-1100)
Testosterone, Free 61 (35-155)
Estradiol 52 (<39) H

Welcome to Excelmale.

Are you on, or about to start, a TRT protocol?

 

[DahlinS]

Thanks,

I'm on 40mg of testosterone cypionate 2x/week, 0.25mg of Anastrazol 2x/week and 500iu of HCG every other day to preserve fertility. Those labs were drawn before I started. I didn't have fertility tested before I began and I'm wondering if there was ever anything to preserve. HCG at this dose/frequency is making e2 very difficult to manage.

How long have been on the protocol? Can you post your full lab work? A sperm count/analysis is the only way to answer your question with certainty.

 

[DahlinS]

About six months. Here are my most recent labs and labs before I began. I know a seminal analysis/count is the only way to know with certainty. I'm just looking for educated guesses, as I've read that FSH is strongly correlated with counts.

Testosterone, Total 726
Testosterone, Free 141.1
Estradiol 46
