Not throwing ropes the way you were before cycling? Got the baby batter blues? Guess what? It’s more than just possible to get your girl pregnant while on TRT. It’s probable. Gather around for story time.
For those who know anything about sperm count (which I don’t know much), the normal range falls somewhere between 15 - 65 million per ml of semen (depending on where you get your data). Some data even shows a much higher number being in the normal range. Keep this in mind.
I’ve been cruising on testosterone for several years; maybe 4 or so. I’ve also continued blasting various steroid cycles during this time frame. My fiancée and I weren’t always actively trying to get pregnant, but we also haven’t been taking preventative measures against conception. We love each other, so having a family together made sense.
About a year ago, we decided to get more serious about the baby talk. She really wanted to grow our family and I’m thinking, “how the F am I going to do this? I want a kid with her, but stopping TRT at this point could cause a heap of problems for me. Mood swings, depression, muscle loss, and a total crash of my endo system altogether. How do I tell her that I’m probably not going to be able to make this happen”? So I took my chances and tried seeing if we could do this naturally. Maybe I’d get lucky. But, I wasn’t.
Next step was going to an IVF clinic and getting sperm count tested. Remember the above numbers in the normal range? Mine was at 400,000! Barely a fraction of what’s considered normal. I’m not even in the low range at this point. And the few sperm that we’re alive were basically moronic. Swimming in no particular direction, wiggling in place, or going in circles. My LH, FSH and sperm production had been demolished by years of steroid use.
The doctor said it wasn’t looking good and I needed to drop the testosterone and get on fertility drugs or get donor sperm. Luckily, I’m a bro-scientist and disregard everything that doctors say about hormones. We scheduled my fiancées egg retrieval for 75 days out from that meeting and that’s when I made my own plan, and it worked.
Low dose clomid, HCG twice a week, low dose HMG three times a week, HCGen, and some random natural sperm health supp that had good reviews on Amazon. Maybe $800 total. That’s all I did to fertilize her eggs. The craziest part? I was in the middle of a cycle. 500mg test, 800mg tren E. Her egg retrieval resulted in 10 healthy eggs and my sperm successfully fertilized all 10. The doctor was absolutely stunned and had no idea how I achieved this. I wasn’t about to share either. The embryos sat for 5 days and naturally, some of them fragmented and became low grade (this is very common and almost always the case). After 5 days, we implanted the best quality egg and froze 4 more good quality eggs for a rainy day.
My girl is now 20 weeks pregnant with a healthy baby boy who is measuring ahead in size. Big like his daddy. IVF itself isn’t cheap guys, so don’t think this is a walk in the park. There are cheaper options such as IUI which cost less than 1/10th of what IVF does and we may have done it successfully in a few tries since my sperm sample was so viable, but we had the money and this has a higher success rate so we went this route.
The point is, not all is lost and you don’t have to choose between a family and your lifestyle. You can give her what she wants and give yourself what you want as well. Don’t let anyone tell you that all hope is lost. Any and all success stories are welcome in this thread!!
