Being a father and spending time with kids lowers your testosterone

[Deleted member 121863]

Many studies have been done on this but I`ve never seen it posted on here. The more time a man spends with his kids the lower his test levels go When my kids were born my D* definitely hit the dirt, T dropped like a rock, cancelled my gym membership, no supps for 2 or 3 yrs, just a miserable place. I`m sure this will give justification to a few of you (we know who you are ) to never have kids.

Longitudinal evidence that fatherhood decreases testosterone in human males

Makes sense.

Testosterone is nature's way to make sure our species survives. Having kids sends a strong message of mission accomplished.

It's the stress I'd say...

It doesn't lower my test.But it sure as hell drains my wallet.

Opposite with me. My first came, and I figured no more kids so no worries about shrinking balls. Juice away!!!! Then the 2nd one came anyway.

IIRC this was a topic here a few years ago. Nevertheless, it drains more than testosterone. I know, I was a single father for over 16 years.

The end results was well worth it tho!

Wouldnt doubt It.. been a father now for 6 months and have been off everything for 5 weeks (except clomid). I feel like shit and lethargic, not to mention im sick easier. I wouldnt doubt my test after bloods in a few weeks is in the shitter.

Didnt want to resort to trt for life at 26 but looks like its time. Oh well at least I will keep hard earned gains.

No shit sherlock
I don't think it's kids per say that lower test (but I coukd be wrong as more femails can raise test)
It's most likely the lack of sleep stress and responsibilities? ??
