Fertility bloodwork

[Ryan624]

Hey all,
I am looking to order some bloodwork from privatemd labs (no insurance) . I have been trying to get my wife pregnant for a couple years now and no luck. Have a history of low t. Which test pack would be best for fertility and T. Have also been curious if cortisol is the culprit. Have had problems with stress for as long as i can remember. Maybe a cortisol test as well?
Any input appreciated

I will be seeing a specialist at some point but just wanted to get some bloodwork done for starters.

What you really need is a sperm count.

Blood test and sperm sample is best. You can have good test levels but small volumes of sperm and bad motilty so you need;

Sperm fragment test
IBT test for antibody clash
Blood test sexual Health STI STU
Get everything else done on blood test as well;

14 years fertility issues never realized I had no test level; a good international forum is Fertility Friends mountains of information for men and women

Hormone panel can reveal a lot. Shows if primary hypogonadal. To get to that they make you do a sperm count. Been through the process and it is good to be with a UROLOGIST and not ENDOCRINOLOGIST for this path.

I begin to think Endo is where all the peeps that cant pass anything else go. No offence to any good Endos.
