TRT, fertility, and FSH

[jwhit84]

It's widely stated that TRT makes men infertile, but we know that's not always the case due to some unknowns and dr-gs like HCG. I know that some men never become infertile even without other dr-gs.

However, my question is this. Does a low FSH (such as 0.3 with a normal range of 1.5 - 12.4 mIU/ml) mean a man is infertile at the time? Or can only a sperm test show for sure?

Would one of those unaffected men still have normal range FSH, or are they just fertile despite a low one?

Yes, HPTA suppressed so testes are all but shut down but that's not to say lightening can't strike and prego can happen...but I wouldn't bet on it by far.

Only a sperm count can be for sure.

Also understand that fertility is a wide range... it only takes 1 sperm to make the whole thing work. It's mostly an odds game. TRT hurts your odds, but it is far from 100% contraception. Very far from that.
