Posting for my husband. He is about to start a cycle of TEST 250...questions please

[floridachick]

Guys have been known to cause a short circuit in their HPTA, as Phate was saying, with one poor cycle and no PCT. It happens and most regret not researching before starting such endeavors. Last thing he'll want is to end up on hormone replacement therapy!

what is HPTA??

this is why I asked him if he will just get a sperm test done, if I am not pregnant this month. this will be month #7 for us actively trying. we never had to try before, both of our other pregnancies were oops/surprises, we were trying to not get pregnant. so i cant imagine what would be so different now besides that one cycle he did. However, its been 2 years now since he did it so its hard to believe it could still be that. He has a few friends who have done many more cycles than him and still conceived, while on cycles and in between cycles.

He agreed to get a Sperm test done after this month. before he starts this cycle. I plan on talking to him about it all and showing him what you all said here on this website. I hate that he wants to do this when he doesnt work out as much as he should. he says hes just "lazy". like doing the test is "cheating" so to speak, just to boost him along the way. if you ask me, i would totally disagree and think he should work out more often and make it more of a priority over other hobbies and things he enjoys. you only get what you put into it ya know?

Not if you understand the loops by which the endocrine system works, if you damage them extensively then they can possibly never reset, not saying he did, but it is a possibility

agreed completely, but in this case he could get alot more than he bargained for, and possibly make it so you don't get a child
