We too were not told of the effects of Testim on sperm count and my husband has a zero count. It's so upsetting because I turn 40 in 6 months and time is so important. If I put my husband through these shots, is there a a decent chance the HCG will work? Or is it less likely because his age is 50 and he has been on Testim for 3 years? Is there another option we should consider? We did try to have him just go off the Testim and that didn't work. By day 5 he was too depressed to even want a baby. Our Urologist says he can stay on the Testim with the HCG injections. Can that be true? Will that lessen the results? My husband will take the shots for me but I just want to be sure this is the best path for us before I subject him to this pain. Running out of time and appreciate a response. Thank you!View Thread
