Fatherhood lowers testosterone?

Curious if you guys here have input on this. I've heard this from several people, actually looked it up and it appears you do drop.

My 284 lvl was taken 2 months after my child was born.

Stress reduces T levels. Also, sickness is a stress.

Not the stress, the actual paternal change in hormone levels. Seems to be factual.

Marriage lowers testosterone! I feel happy when my 2 year old run up screaming daddy when i get home from work.

I have a picture taken two months after my first child, I look like total crap. Way less muscle mass than I had prior and way more fat, and I was lower body weight. I've read articles on this as well, luckily I was on trt for my children born recently, and I am doing great.

NY Times has an article on the study: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/13/he...rone.html?_r=0

And sleeping in the same area as your kid does it too! See http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases...0905171630.htm

Interesting but relevant? FatherTIME also lowers testosterone levels and you can't run away from that.

And if you are on TRT, it REALLY doesn't matter since you aren't naturally producing testosterone, you are injecting...

Yes, that is true. And sleeping next to your pregnant wife will do it as well. You can actually watch the male hormones do their own 10 month cycle. Just another reason to stay single! Love my kids though.

love trt

Well that's really interesting. That could explain why my levels are so low, but I didn't see anything about if it bounces back at all. Anyone have any insight there?

Great news!!!!!
At least now I can blame my low T on my wife and kids.
(Sure would hate myself if all my smoking, drinking, drugging and high stress life style caused my problems.)

Yea but an 18y.o. test level was higher than an 18y.o. is today.
