The guy I went to is a general urologist and I didn't see anywhere that said he was a fertility specialist.

    Unfortunately, I don't have any labs from back when I started. All I can remember is that total T was between 250-350 each time I got tested.
    I think it's definitely preferable to see a urologist who specializes in infertility. Check your plan policy and see if you can go out of network for a higher copay (or for instance a co-insurance where you pay a pe rcentage of the doctor's fee).

    Also find out if there are other urologists available in your network, call them and see who has experience with infertility). Bc of the lack of make fertility doctors, there are some that practice remotely but that would probably be very expensive as it would be out-of-pocket. I don't know if your plan will let you send in a claim for partial reimbursement.

    If you're interested you can always get your old lab results from your doctor and post them if you think it would help.

    I've made the switch to a new network after I found a urologist that specializes in infertility. Hopefully things go smooth as far as getting a referral right away from the new primary care doctor.

    Next week I am going for bloodwork for testosterone., LH, & FSH. I'll post up the results when I get them. But I wonder, does anyone think it's too early to get these things tested? My last injection (100 mg cyponate) was December 7th. I'm just wondering if there's still anything in my system that might skew the results.
