[quote=Anonymous]DH and I have been TTC for 6 months following 2 miscarriages last summer.  We conceived our first child easily, and got pregnant last summer on the first try with both pregnancies.  Now, despite charting and using the clearblue fertility monitor and timing sex perfectly, I cannot get pregnant.

What's changed is that DH's doctor stared him on testosterone injections late last summer.  Said if we have trouble TTC, he can 'just go off' the injections.  But now I'm reading that he needs to be off the injections for a minimum of three months, and I've seen that for some men, the sperm count never quite returns.

He hasn't had his sperm tested yet; we are going for our first appt at Shady Grove in early June.  He is reluctant to stop the injections until we know if his sperm count is low from the medication, because it makes him feel so much better, but I want him to stop now, before testing.  I am late 30s, so really want to get pregnant soon, if I even can anymore.

Just looking to see if anyone here has TTC while make partner on testosterone and how it went for you.[/quote]
