Test levels and baby makin

[krigby]

Just got back from Thai. Had my blood/test levels checked, not good...The scale for normal was 2.4 to 8.8 by their measurements, I was a .36!!!! I dont know if that was a blunder by them because my friend got the test at the same time as me and his came out as 3.8. I feel good, energetic, going to the gym 3 to 4 xs wk, want to hump all the time. Any suggestions? I also brought back enough Test E for a year and have started 250mg /wk last week. My wife all of a sudden wants a kid but I dont want to come off unless I have to. Can I still get her pregnant with that low of a norm test count and just starting 2nd wk of Test? Thanks in advance

How long have you been on? I know you said it's your second wk of test e but it sounds like perhaps you were on a cycle previous to the test e. If so, what, how long and did you do a PCT?

[krigby]

Thanks for replying, I was on 250 for 10 wks but that was a year ago. Since then I have had nothing goin....Didnt do Pct only because I didnt think it was real(the reason I did all 10 wks is that some people say they dont feel anything for 7 or 8 and even 9) I didnt feel anything either. Does that level sound right since Im feeling right on par for my age(32)? Never tired, no mood swings.....

Well, if it's been over a year since your last cycle and your in week2 of this test e cycle you should be o.k. The test will eventually shut you down but takes awhile to do so. Your sperm count will decrease the longer your on the test. They are currently doing studies on using test as a male birth control and have found it to be more effective then female birth control but takes about 3 months to fully shut down your sperm production and rid you of your current sperm.

Make sure you do a PCT after this cycle, it is well worth it. GL future dad

Once again, thanks.
Just one more question....Is there anything I can do to bring up my nat test levels before it gets shut down completely?

[kfrost06]

stop taking gear and start your PCT other than that hcg.

wtf??getting rid of your sperm in 3months.what does that mean?

[krigby]

Anyone else have an idea or opinion? Thanks again

250mg/wk is pretty low for a cycle but high enough to shut you down pretty quick.

If I were trying to get the wife pregnant, I wouldn't do test at all or do 125mg/wk and do HCG twice a week on consecutive days at 350IU.

I am taking androil (4x40mg pills a day) right now for HRT and am doing 2x/wk HCG at 350IU and we are trying to get pregnant.

Just had my semen tested but don't know the results yet.

But that's my advice. In the end, you have to decide whether you want a cycle or a child...

Your sperm can live for 2-3 months after being produced so even after you shut down your production of sperm you still have sperm living in your gonads for 2-3 months. I hope that answers your question.

If u are planning to have children, you need to be very caurful when ur wife is pregnamt, test can be very harmful to the fetis, My Doc has me on Androlgel ED, and I cant have any skin/fluid contact with my wife cause shes pregnamt, for the risk of tranfering. Its not worth the risk to possible have a child with birth defects cause u r still on juice.

[GOT FIGHT?]

Androgel absorbs through the skin though. If you inject your skin wont secreet it to be able to be absorbed by another person.

This only applies to androgel as the transfer is done through the skin and the gel is applied topically. That's why I stopped using androgel and switched to androil - for the fear of transfering to wife and kids.

I suppose if you took some test and rubbed in in, it would be similar. I wouldn't try it though as absorption won't be anywhere close to what you get with an injection.

Test can also be transfered threw Sperm, thats what realy scared me, I read A huge article in the American Medical Journal about affects on fetis from males under the use of steriods and T replacement treatment. I just wanted to let the OP be aware of some of the affects/how juice can affect having children.

The artile said that Ejaculation is as bad if not worse then if u were to Inject/Rub Test directly on to the women, being transfered to the baby.

I was luck that I didnt start my treatment till after the wife was pregnant, and never did a cycle ever.
