DH starting TRT

[instant]

DH is starting Testosterone replacement (Testosterone gel) by his doctor... Does this effect sperm therefore effecting ability to sway blue?
He told me theres a saying at the gym (guys on juice) prepare to sway pink

I think I answered this in another post?

Artificially raising T levels may sway a little bit pink. Naturally occuring high T may sway a bit blue.

ok thanx thats good to know it won't make a huge difference.

Do you think testosterone from say taking steroids will outweigh other methods of swaying blue? Basically does the steroid make the blue sway methods not work at all?

my DH is willing to stop taking testosterone if its going to sway pink too much but he feels awful when he doesn't take it

YES steroids do seem to outweigh blue sway tactics (just like the saying from the gym)

Keep your hubby on the testosterone gel. That isn't steroids!!

Thank you.. he is taking testosterone gel + HCG .... Basically the HCG signals LH hormone so he never gets "shut" down and will remain fertile while taking testosterone; we will try to boy sway but i need to buy the book first to learn more... I just don't want to waste our time if Testosterone will make it useless.


Two studies with men specifically on testosterone replacement therapy show that 500 IUs (HCG) every other day also maintains normal sperm production.

Having said that, there is still a large number of "experts" on these forums that say "gear" does not effect the health or sex of the baby at all.

If using "testosterone" say increase the chances of having a girl 70%, would using your methods take it back to 50/50?

I cannot answer this question at all because firstly we don't know that it does increase the chances of having a girl, secondly, his taking HCG may help undo that to some extent, and I would simply be guessing about what your odds would be when I don't know. I don't want to give you false information.

Thank you for that Atomic

There isn't just enough information on the effects TRT has... and many men are starting TRT and at younger ages now too

The doctor said he can cycle his TRT.. he's doing HCG + testosterone then going back to clomid... about 8 weeks before conceiving the plan is for DH just todo HCG only.
