DH's testosterone is low

Well DH got his test results today from the urologist and his testosterone is low.

My question is what would be the next steps to try to increase it?

The urologist wants to run the test again but he was talking about possibly putting DH on Clomid. I thought Clomid was used to help women ovulate. I'm confused

In certain instances it can be used for men as well. You can find some of the information on line. DH should speak with his urologist if he has concerns.

dont worry - its actually quite common.

My DH has low testosterone - normally if your not TTC than DH would just get testosterone treatments (gels/creams) but this has a negative impact on sperm.

so while TTC - usually the first try is with clomid. Unfortunately this didnt help my DH, so after a month his went to HCG injections. His testosterone went up a little but his estrogen went high (this happens sometimes) so now the dr added Arimidex so keep estrogen levels low and help raise testosterone.

Good luck and feel free to FM any questions.
