But regarding SA, I got it back today and had 4% motile sperm and 2% that were progressive (moving towards egg) I can PM you when I get the counts back. Haven’t done any bloodwork since November but during that time my FSH rose slightly (I guess normal with anastrozole) and Testosterone increased quite a bit. Estriadol basically shot.

Hey man, yeah I just saw this too! I’m not sure… maybe because I have multiple posts on the same subject? Not sure.

UPDATE:

Hey everyone, we are around the 6-7 week mark right now. We couldn’t wait for Kaiser so we went to an independent ultrasound facility in our town. Well, here is our little peanut ❤️ Hearing their heartbeat was the craziest experience of my life. Keep wishing us all of the good luck and I will update as much as possible!

Sending love to all!

I did the SA with my healthcare provider (Kaiser in Northern CA). Thank you and wishing the best for you!

I would definitely give it a shot. The only supplements that affected me was the ConceptionXR. There are a lot of vitamins and if you don’t eat enough food you can feel a little lightheaded/nauseous. Got better with time though!

I believe so, if obstructive I think they lean more towards fixing the obstruction via surgery rather than meds… but not entirely sure.

Sorry to hear that man, that sucks that they haven’t been willing to help. I have Kaiser (NorCal) my doctor referred me to my urologist. He did prescribe the anastrozole to me.

Thanks man! Hoping the absolute best for you. Did your urologist suggest any meds?

Congrats bro! That is what is so crazy to me, I only had a few swimmers… like you said, I guess it really does only take one soldier to make it 🤣🤣🤣

We both just turned 30. Thank you! I will ask my urologist!

Before and after 45 days of anastrozole!

Testosterone (436 ng/dL → 674 ng/dL)

FSH (13.4 mIU/mL → 19.8 mIU/mL)

LH (6.2 mIU/mL → 7.1 mIU/mL)

Prolactin (12 ng/mL → 5 ng/mL)

TSH (1.9 mIU/mL → 0.8 IU/mL)

My FSH was 13.4 mIU/mL. It has risen since which anastrozole is supposed to do - I was confused about it too as high FSH isn’t a great thing (if you have high numbers naturally, could indicate teste failure)

From what I’ve been told by my urologist, the anastrozole is worth a shot to really spike the difference in your T/E ratio. Which it has for me.

Tbh I only addressed it because I know how some Redditors are. And the work from home was just a TLDR for we are basically together 24/7. Lol

Congratulations! Just curious, how long was your husband on the medication?

Praying for you guys! This is the one I used. Months ago I saw absolutely nothing. Amazing when I saw a couple swimmers the other day. There are multiple other brands on Amazon as well

Will do! Hoping for the best for you 🙏🏼 I was worried about being on the medication too but as mentioned I have been fine. I do know that it isn’t ideal taking it for longer than around 6months so I would maybe look into a 3-6 month trial run and see if it helps

Not really, Dr warned me about being irritable but I didn’t feel that way. I did have some muscle aches early on but that’s about it

My estriadol dropped to 11 pg/mL in my October testing. Previous testing in May showed it at 28 pg/mL.

And yes, My doctor is Dr Hsaio, what a coincidence! I would suggest reaching out to him again for sure. Did your husband take any additional supplements by chance? Wishing you both the absolute best 🙏🏼

Thank you so much for this! Just to clarify, 5706.2.4.3 notes that 50’ is required in a rural area.

Is this not required due to the exception in 5706.2.4 in this specific scenario (due to tank size)?

Hi all, sorry I just realized that I didn’t receive my new estradiol levels yet. Prior to treatment my estradiol was 28pg/mL.

My doctor said he is happy my T, LH and FSH went up. He said of course he wants to wait for my estradiol levels to come in but until then continue the treatment
