Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) has helped countless men restore energy, vitality, and sexual function—but it can unintentionally create another problem: fertility issues.
If you’re a Florida-based man considering TRT and still want children—now or in the future—read on to learn how testosterone therapy affects fertility, what your options are, and the smartest ways to protect reproductive health while boosting hormone levels.
Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) treats hypogonadism, a condition in which the body produces too little testosterone. Classic symptoms include:
Low sex drive
Fatigue
Loss of muscle mass
Depression & brain fog
Erectile dysfunction
TRT comes as injections, gels, patches, or pellets and can dramatically improve quality of life. At Florida Men’s Health, we customize every TRT protocol to the patient’s unique hormone profile.
External testosterone boosts blood-stream levels.
The brain senses the increase and reduces LH & FSH output.
Testicles get less LH/FSH, so sperm production slows—or stops.
This secondary hypogonadism induced by external testosterone is the most common cause of TRT-related male infertility.
Usually no—sperm production often returns 3–12 months after stopping TRT, but recovery depends on:
Age
Duration of TRT use
Pre-existing fertility health
Long-term TRT without fertility support can delay or limit recovery, making pre-planning essential.
| Strategy | How It Works | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Clomiphene Citrate (Clomid) | Oral pill ↑ LH & FSH, stimulating natural T and sperm | Younger men with secondary hypogonadism |
| Enclomiphene | Targets LH without Clomid’s estrogenic side-effects | Men needing refined fertility-friendly therapy |
| HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) | Mimics LH; can be standalone or paired with TRT | Men wanting to keep testicular size & sperm count |
| Sperm Banking | Stores viable sperm before TRT starts | Anyone unsure about future family plans |
