Sperm production up again while on anti androgen?

[SamGuzman]

Over the past couple of months I have seen my sperm production (ejaculatory amount) go up to a level that is similar to when I was not on the Anti ANdrogen Lupron. I had a test just four months ago to see what the testosterone levels were in my body and my endo said it was a 29. Does this mean that My testosterone is back up? I am scared. Do I need to see a doctor? I am only sixteen years old, I have not started official HRT with a estrogen regimen.

Hi Sam Welcome to Susan's,

The units of testosterone would be very helpful! Different countries measure in pg, ng, or milligrams. Always consult your Doctor as there is no medical advice that is useful here, just opinion. For a young woman such as yourself controlling the hormonal levels needs expert care, your Doctor will provide that.

Hi SamGuzman

I have been on Decapeptyl for two years and it is very, very similar to Lupron and is used to suppress hormone production. These GnRH analogues typically cause a spike in testosterone (T) when you first get them and then T production drops massively. This "spike" can last for two to three weeks.

The important thing about these injections is that you must have continuous coverage. There is no point in getting just one of them, you need to get the next one before this one wears off.

I have been on the 3 monthly version (12 weeks) of decapeptyl so I get my booster at the start of week 11 and my GP administers it (actually her senior nurse does and she is a whizz with a needle).

If coverage is continuous and the injection is administered properly then your T levels should drop.
