Testosterone levels

[love being a mummy]

So DH got a blood test a few months ago and his testosterone levels were low, Dr says they are in normal range but they were 1 level higher then the lowest "normal" number.
Do you think thats why we keep having girls?
Should we get another blood test before ttc?

If I was to increase my PH would I still get a girl cause of DH's levels ?

I suspect that has at least something to do with why you're conceiving girls. He needs to get that number up.

Personally I wouldn't bother with another blood test because I think it will only make you worry. If it goes up, you'll worry that it didn't go up enough and if it stays the same you'll worry about that, too.

Increasing pH by improving your CM, can actually help more sperm to stay alive to make it to the egg, so yes, it can help you conceive a boy despite DH low testosterone levels.

Some questions -

Is he on any medication or herbs that might lower his T?
Any health issues?
Is he very heavy or very thin?
Does he exercise at all? Would he be willing to start?
Is he a vegetarian or vegan, or eat a very lowfat diet?
Does he smoke either regular or "special" cigarettes? Drink a lot of alcohol or caffeine?

Low T is not a life sentence, there is a lot he can do to improve it. He needs to add muscle mass without adding fat, lose fat without losing muscle if he's heavy, cut out any medications, herbs, vices, and eat meat if he isn't or at least increase his protein intake. Plus, the TTC boy supps that improve sperm count and raise T levels will help him a lot. Might want to try DHEA to help raise his T in a natural way.

i think so too. my dh says his T is fine bc he is thinning on the front of his head which is a sign of low T. but my older brother has a full head of THICK hair and also has 2 girls like we do. my brother is more liekly to gain weight than my dh. dh has a slimmer body more muscle mass that stays regardless of his working out. my bro is mostly mushy.

defly could be dh's T PLUS us ladies's diets.

ps both drink coffee regularly.

Is he on any medication or herbs that might lower his T? no
Any health issues? no
Is he very heavy or very thin? no
Does he exercise at all? Would he be willing to start?no exercise. But he has a physically demanding job
Is he a vegetarian or vegan, or eat a very lowfat diet? no
Does he smoke either regular or "special" cigarettes? Drink a lot of alcohol or caffeine? Yes he smokes and he drinks alot of coffee every morning and some beer every night.

But he has always done those things even when we got our boy but that was 8 years ago so he was alot younger then. Over time this has problem caused damage for him. He is 30 now.

I have no idea how to tell if my DH has low testosterone?? He has a mega high sex drive, always has but if that is an indication why do we have all girls?

The smoking needs to stop or cut back if at all possible. If he can cut back on the caff and drinking, that's great too because those things can lower testosterone. Even young guys conceive more girls if they smoke and drink a lot of alcohol and caffiene.

Taking the sperm boosting supps will def. help!http://genderdreaming.com/forum/showthread.php?311-Supplements

The high sex drive doesn't really tell us much - some guys have a low T and high sex drive and vice versa. In fact a lot of guys who take stuff to raise their T levels through the roof (bodybuilders) actually have NO sex drive and become totally infertile.

Now if there was a sudden change in sex drive, then that can mean something. But if it's just the way he's always been, that doesn't mean too much.

You know, sometimes with sex, the more you have it, the more you want it. Not having sex kinda can suppress things, but making yourself do it every 3 days will help get things flowing!!
