Regarding the supplements, I would have him stay on them until you complete your family as they may help slow the decline or check to underlying cause of the low count. I hope that this helps.

I am always thrilled to hear from one of our success stories. WIth a low testosterone, I would suggest that your husband consider hCG injections 2000iu twice a week. This will raise his testosterone and not impair spermatogenesis.
Dr. Aaron Spitz is an experienced male fertility specialist/urologist in Laguna Hills that has excellent results with these cases. I hope that this helps.
Best,
