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!

how do you reset the HPTA?

yep he did it without me knowing about it and if i would have known i would have looked into it first. and secondly, i would have made him do some sort of PCT. Other issue is that he doesnt think about "oh, i might not be able to have more kids" by doing this one cycle. b/c he never really cared to have anymore kids. he told me after our son was born maybe when he was 5 we could talk about it. well, i talked to him about it sooner and he agreed to start trying beginning of this year. he doesnt think that the ONE cycle he did would have caused this much difficulty getting pregnant again.. but now he is thinking something MUST be wrong since im not pregnant yet, when we once were "fertile myrtle". ive had a few tests done already so i think im good to go. if his sperm test comes back normal, then i will have one more test done just to rule everything out. But, he agreed to have that done first. so, we'll see.

An aggressive PCT regimen would be a good place to start. Have him get a male hormone panel done, and may as well throw in the basic blood tests too (cholesterol, lipid panel, RBC, etc), not just sperm.

That'll also give key information about his ability to produce little ones.
