HRT and Sperm Count

[CajunMuscle]

Im curious how long term HRT can have and effect on sperm count. Im aware that regular testosterone use in high mg (500 and up) as in a steroid cycle severely diminishes your sperm count, but would low doses as in HRT do so as well. Im specifically referring to andro gel and testim when i ask this question. thanks...B

I've been on HRT since November of 2000. I started on shots...200mg once a week. Within a short period of time the "boys" shut down all together and my sperm count went to "0" which is cool with my wife and I as we already have three beautiful children.

I then went to androgel for about 4 to 5 months taking three packets a day. I remained sterile, but felt like a glazed donut...so I went back to shots.

Four years later...on the same ole' regimen 200mg every week, 1 mg arimidex MWF....no new kids in the family.

I suppose it depends on us individually as a 200mg shot for me, apparently works, but I have another friend who needed 300mg for the same blood level.

Hope it helps
