My fiance' was diagnosed a little over 2 yrs ago with a rare case of pituitary and thyroid disease (not exactly sure what terms and stuff). Anyway, he's been taking androgel (gel a rubs along his torso) and synithyroid (sp) a pill he takes every morning, and he has been drastically changing physically, he says he's going through puberty at the age of 22 (now 24). His doctor (endocrynologist) is pretty sure he cant have children at the moment, maybe never, or w/out medication (fsh). Im a little skeptical cuz I have heard ppl. Say they were infertile but ended up having children. Im sure his sperm count is low (med. Probably affects that), or not very mobile. He is finally going for a sperm test this wknd. So now we can find out for sure whether or not he can have kids. I have read up on what he has (but his is a stranger case, according to his Dr.) when he first found out his testosterone level was like at 42 (think thats what it was), it has gone up, but down sometimes. I always thought this med. Helped him produce sperm, but it doesnt. Its so confusing.
Anyway, does anyone have or know anyone who has a pituitary/thyroid problem and was able to have kids or have kids eventually?
(i dont want children now, always worried about being preg. And it would help knowing if he can have kids now, but eventually after we get marreid, I would like to start trying and I want to know our future options)
