TRT. Am I sterile?

[SCOOTER12]

I’ve been on TRT for over 8 years. 200mg weekly.

I read a study that showed men on TRT had inadequate sperm count for pregnancy.

“ The study demonstrated that azoospermia induced by 200 mg TE injections was able to provide highly effective, sustained, and reversible contraception”.

Based on the study there were less than 1% pregnancies. Seems like a reliable form of birth control.
What’s your thoughts?

I agree talk to your dr about doing the sperm test to see for sure. From my experience of taking trt for years is it had left me in essence sterile. My wife and I have been trying to have a baby the last two years so and I have been completely off testosterone for those two years trying to get my numbers back up. Unfortunately My sperm parameters have not gone very much . I was taking clomid a while back before it was unavailable and it helped the numbers a little but not a lot. My wife and I are currently in the process of doing IVF in Tijuana since you can have low numbers and still work.
