Low T question

[321321]

Hey guys, I found this site while googling everything I could about testosterone injections for Low T. I might be in the wrong place but it seems like there is a lot of knowledge on here.

I went to the doctor a few weeks back for a number of reasons, they did some blood work, and I was told I have low testosterone. Here are my numbers:

Test: 250
Free Test: 5
SHBG?: 26

I'm 29 years old, 6', 210 lbs., workout consistently, diet is good and I'm working on it being great. Sleep is poor, about 5-6 hours a night.

I'm not sure how bad this all is but they made it sound like its pretty bad for my age and is going to keep going down. They want to put me on testosterone injections, with hcg, and a few other things and said for my age they'd love my level to be at 800 minimum.

I would love to start feeling normal and take care of this, but my wife and I have yet to have a child in 2 years of trying and we would love nothing more than to have kids.

Pretty much I am looking for some direction, I can't risk the test preventing us from having kids, but feeling pretty miserable as well. Are the test injections with hcg a bad idea for me? Are there any other options?

Thank you guys for any wisdom offered

Those numbers are way low bro. TRT would be a very good choice. Mine are around 400 and I'm in the process to get TRT. I do not have kids but it's an option for the future. I am 27 years old. There are a few guys on here that are having kids while on TRT. And I personally know my fiance's aunt and uncles last kid was while on TRT, as well as two people from work. I would be lying if I said it doesn't worry me about not having kids. But from all of my research, I feel comfortable that if we wanted to have kids we would be able to.
Others will be able to tell more about the HCG. Some say it's ridiculous to tell your nuts to work while something else tells them to shut down. Others will say it's better to have them work on their own. I'll let others chime in.

But keep us updated as I'm right in that process with you. Btw, that's exactly how I found this forum as well.

Hey hey welcome to ef!!

Bro that is low and it sucks im in my 30's and when I was 28 my t levels were 198 so I know right where ya are !! As far as kids it is possible to have them i have been on Trt for years and in addition I have done many harsh cycles I actually got my wife preg 7 months ago right when I came off a compound way more suppressive than test it was (tren) but for some they are not so lucky! I guess I have super sperm!

They always have options at endos and urologist clinics to bank ur sperm for children

My doctor offered that to me but because of my beliefs and faith I said I was gonna put it in Gods hands and bam years later here we are with a baby on the way!

I look at it like this and it's cuz of my views on life

If it's meant to be and is in God's will it's gonna happen but if that's not ur view then u always can bank sperm...!

But honestly u will have a differnt life on Trt getting ur levels up ur gonna be like wtf!! How was I living like that

Also u can talk to ur dr about a (restart) clomid protocol
Different doctors have different protocols some use Clomid some use hCG in conjunction or all of them together with nolva

But ask

I have many buddies that have done the clomid hcg route and got their levels from the 300's to the 600's and are happy with that

I told my dr I want optimal levels so 600 does not cut it I stay between 950-1050 year round

Hey guys, thanks a ton for the responses. Really helps me a lot. Glad to know I'm not the only one.

That helped me a lot as well bro. I was embarrassed to bring it up. But I'm glad that I did. It took a lot to talk about it the first time. I hope my next stop is TRT. This clomid trial is giving me headaches I think.

Yea clomid is not a drug that my body likes

Gave me permanent Eye damage
