A member asked:

Hubby has low sperm count. had a testicular biopsy(no sperm) one doctor said lost cause 33% chance ttc. 2nd doctor said testerone patch to increase.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Wrong and Wrong: 2nd doc is way wrong! any external source of testosterone (t) will suppress his own t production and sperm count will drop. But more information is needed. What is sperm count? What are the hormone levels? T, lh? If t & lh are low, see an endocrinologist for HCG injections. If t is ok, see a urologist specializing in infertility to consider testicular sperm extraction for ivf.
