My low testosterone


by: JGB on Mon, Jul 28 2008

I am a young man married almost six years ago. My wife and I decided to have a baby almost two years ago. We tried for almost a year and nothing happpened. We decided to go to the doctor and talk about this; thats how we discovered I suffer of low testosterone They send me to a endocrinologist, I had lots of tests, even an MRI Finally they put me in treatment with Testil gel, I started to use it but my testosterone level was not high enough. I got some allergic reaction to it and I wasnt producing enough semen to get my wife pregnant (my semen was lower than normal and slower than normal). When my wife and I discused with my doctor about the desire to have a baby he decided to put me in a different treatment, he used chorionic gonadotropin, I had to get and injection two times a week, finally after four months of treatment my wife got pregnant!, Now I am on a testosterone injection every ten days. I can feel how the testosterone level decrease at the end of the period of time, but I preffer to have that kind of symptoms a few days per month rather than having them all the time.
