TEST GEL/HRT AT 26? IS THERE NATURAL ALTERNATIVE?

[Roux]

I was just prescribed test gel. My test levels came back at 220. I am only 26 years old and was wondering what everyone's thoughts were on starting hrt at a young age. My biggest concern is fertility. I would like to have kids one day and I'm wondering if taking the gel will make me infertile? Also, could I get to a normal range using only natural substances? If I took tribulus, longjack, nettle root, etc. would that be another option? I was thinking about taking natural substances for a month then getting blood work again and if its still low then go on the hrt. Any input you guys have I appreciate.

Roux:

To answer your question, it is probable that you will have vastly reduced ability to impregnate. My doctor tested before and after therapy began. He questioned that aspect and I told him I did not care. My LH and FSH went to basically zero within two months from "Low-moderate" range when I started. This was after decades of AAS useage.

Express your concerns and your doctor may add in other treatments to help you keep "fertile" while on.

Why were you low? Have your been cycling? It took me close to 9 months to a year for my levels to get back up into low-normal, naturally.

For younger guys concerned with fertility, you can be put on hcg therapy alone. My doc did this for me. My test was under 200, got up to over 800 on hcg RX. Also had 2 more kids, so I'm pretty happy with the results.

PM me if you want my docs info, she is a urologist that specializes in mens reproductive/sexual issues. She is pretty famous (in the medical field, at least) and she treats patients from all over the country
