Guys, I got my test levels done, because I have some atrophy in one of my testicles.
My total test was 195, with my free test at 7.5
I really dont know how bad that is, but I no its low. What is average?
He prescribed me some testosterone gel, so we will see. My sperm count was 35million with a 65% mobility.
He also said he will put me on clomid when I'm trying to have children.
Whats the bottom line??
Normal is ~300-800, but you want to be at least 600, hopefully higher.
Give us some more info, like your last cycle and more importantly, how you came off (ie clomid, hcg, etc.)
Mine was 105 when I came off Deca all wrong. I took clomid, ZMA, tribulue, vitex, and anything else I could get my hands on. It went up to 395 in one month, and to 650 in two months.
Check this out.
I got this from

Brian's "Fertile Again" Formula
1. If you're not already doing it, start taking HCG straight away. Keep with three shots of 2000-2500 IU per week and stick with this figure. Don't discontinue using HCG during your period of attempted conception. Prolonged use of HCG has been demonstrated to induce testicular steroidogenic desensitization; therefore, withdrawal could induce regression, as you'll possibly end up relying on HCG to stimulate production. The recommended dosage is sufficient and less likely to cause the previously mentioned situation, with higher dosages producing only a slightly higher response. In fact, dosages in excess of 5000 IU have been demonstrated to elicit a lower response.
2. Take Nolvadex throughout the entire period, 10 mg first thing in the morning and last thing at night.
3. Take Tribex-500 in a cyclic pattern, 3 weeks on, 1 week off. Five capsules, taken twice per day, is recommended. Our initial blood work with this product showed an average 300% increase in LH! In most instances of steroid-induced infertility, HCG therapy doesn't elevate FSH levels; however, Tribex-500 definitely will do this. I know a pro bodybuilder who still had an almost non-existent sperm count after four months on HCG. After one month on Tribex-500, his count was within normal parameters.
4. Take ZMA as recommended as low zinc levels are common in infertility cases.
5. Acetyl-l-carnitine, 4-5 grams taken on an empty stomach, is also recommended, due to its ability to improve sperm motility. Putting it in a fizzy, sugary drink will probably help absorption.
6. After one month, start taking 75 IU of Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) three times per week. After two months, increase this to 3 x 150 IU.
7. Although not conclusively proven to benefit fertility, GH is worth taking in low dosages during this period. If you have to take medication to reduce prolactin, this will also stop GH production. You should definitely take GH in this situation.
8. Melatonin is another worthwhile addition, mainly for its implications in reducing stress, a major factor in improving fertility rates. Its ability to aid with sleep patterns will help regulate the endocrine system.
9. Cut out any toxic factors that can affect fertility, like alcohol, cigarettes, and recreational drugs. Also, consider carefully any supplements that you may use to prevent muscle loss. Nor-andro products should be avoided, but sensible dosages of 4-AD (Androsol) may offer some benefit by supplying an androgenic influence. Don't take GHB or GBL, as these will elevate prolactin.
