I wasnt sure which forum would fit this best so I just went with this one. Here is my issue.
Im 27 years old and Im beginning to want to try and have a kid. Here is the problem. At 23 years old, I learned that my test was at 180. Very low for my age. I was put on trt and had some tests done that also showed my prolactin levels were high. My endo told me that he thought that the low test may be caused by a small tumor in my pituitary gland. He said it was a possibility that one may have grown to the point and it could be pressing on the nerves that tell my body to produce more test. He said the only way to know for sure would be to have an mri done. I couldn't afford it so I just continued to do test.
Now, I know that low test can cause a low sperm count and my test may have been low long before I even found out so that makes me worry. I have been using aas ever sinse and have obviously run no pct because there was nothing to restore. Well the past year I have been on a few cycles bridging from one to the next. I finally decided it was time for a break and figure WTH, Ill try a simple pct just to see what happens. Ive been off for 4 weeks total and using toremifene and clomid for the past two weeks. Not using any test at all and its really taking a tole on me.
So this brings me to my issue. At this point, I am off and want to know if Im able to have a kid or not. I am however miserable being off test, low libido, muscle loss, just feel like shit really. I am trying to figure out if there is any more of a risk of becoming sterile if continuing to use aas or does it not matter anyways considering my natural levels are already screwed? I just dont know what to do at this point. Stay on? Stay off? Have sperm count checked? Should I be off test when I do that? I just dont know..
Any advise would be great...
