Many here will tell you that you can have a kiddo while on trt but the truth is it does effect fertility. I've taken my blood work to 3 docs and all 3 said I needed to be put on trt and when i mentioned that i want kids they all said that they wouldn't feel comfortable putting me on it. No I have never got my sperm checked or anything but I'm thinking about going to a fertility clinic and asking for some help. I turn 34 very soon and believe me I definitely should of had kids by now so something may be up.
Good luck. The TRT clinic I used in the past was run by a urologist. One of the questions they ask is about whether or not you want kids. They required me to get a baseline test. Basically... They give you a cup and give you directions on how, when, and where.
You can have it done at home or have your SO do it but it is still very fucking weird. Like a cow being milked or something.
Some GPs will write the order for a sperm count check - - as it is just another lab test to them. If not, they can refer you to a Urologist.
Either way, good luck. Fertility is not something to mess around with as you know and AAS usage is always going to be a significant concern.
The good news? Competent Urologists should have you fixed up in no time if you are really low. Unless you KNOW, or have strong reason to believe you have always been infertile, they can fix it in seriously over 99% of cases.
The people you see who and up needing a sperm donor are people who were always infertile or became infertile due to trauma/disease like cancer or a bad accident.
You will be good to go soon if you aren't already... But tough to be positive with a 182 T. I am sure you've got some gloomy shit in your mind right now. Man, you just can't live that way. Go get tested and find a competent Urologist. If you are already fertile he can add HcG in and keep you going with pretty low TRT doses. You know how much better it feels to be at >1000 vs less than 200! I've been there. Had a reading of 152 one time. I was miserable.
