Hi all
My hubby nd I have been trying to conceive for over a year now. He was told he had 0 sperm last April (2018) which wasn’t a huge surprise given he was completely shut down after years of use. He came off in April. By June he had 5 million spent / ml
This Feb he was up to 12 million.
I don’t know exactly which protocols he had followed for pct but he used hcg initially. Then clomid earlier this year ( which would explain the higher sperm count)
He didn’t take to clomid very well. Made him emotional and anxious.
We did get pregnant around that time but had an early loss. This gave us some hope that he was recovering though. So we carried on a few more months with no joy. In this time he did try some proviron and was on meds for thyroid issues.
In July his testosterone level had dropped as had his sperm count. Not sure why as we honestly thought recovery was happening.
He now has in range fsh and Lh but low test level ( according to the official range he is within range but seems low end.. of 9.4 nmol / 277 ng)
Over the last couple of months he has tried clomid again and now HMG on its own.
No sperm check since july.
Is it unlikely he will ever improve his t level and or sperm count.
Just feels odd that he did get a better result at the beginning of the year for it to drop mid year.
Also is HMG on its own any use? His LH is 4 so he didn’t want to use HCG
Many thanks all
