Apparently, a more invloved dad=lower testosterone levels.

That's great news! DH has been around all summer with the boys and being really involved so hopefully his levels are rock bottom at the moment!

I saw this on the news! I was NOT happy about it, either. :(

DH forwarded this to me laughing. Maybe it does for some guys but I swear my DH's testosterone just keeps rising!

Great! Maybe that means we can get a girl next. LOL This IS interesting, though. I think being a dad has made my DH a little "softer". I wonder if age has something to do with it too, though. I know MY dad is a lot more emotional than he used to be the older he gets.

I dont think it has for my dh.And many men may go the oppisite because they have a child and now they are even more stressed with the new mission of taking care of his family.

I read this too! And thought that with me + 3 little ladies there's NO WAY DH is ever going to make a son, LOL.

Augh how did I miss this! Excellent info and I LOVE it because it shows how lifestyle really can and does affect T levels.

PS - it also explains how DH fathered 2 more boys 13 years after our first two, because he was not at all involved with our first two boys!!

Lol...great info

LOL is that why our last 3 children have been girls.
