I don't know what the hell to do?  Apparently I'm 90% sterile.   came to Atlanta to do a serm storage thing.  and I have none.  I never have had any.  I'm a dead end that cant breed even if I ever wanted to.  I'm gonna go cry now

-Big Hugs-  I'm sorry that happened to you.

10% is not none.

Sorry, though... that is bad news. 

I wont give up but I can't stop cryign and I tink drink is all that will get me to bed

have you been taking HRT when you went up there? I only ask because of an apparent discrepancy  in your ticker and when this post was made.

because begin on HRT for even 1 week prior would have a severe impact on your reproductive abilities. (but it would be temporary at that stage.)

Very surprised you are sterile after 12 days. Did you have a motility test pre-HRT?

It may have nothing to do with the HRT.  Natal boys can have all sorts of reproductive problems due to mumps, sports injuries, too tight underwear, etc.

I'm not surprised about infertility after 12 days.

Of course it could be due to any number of issues, but come on look at the writing on the wall.

IF they are taking medications that we know obliterate a persons fertility, It's nearly certain that it's the cause. Then it is only common sense.

All of you recite the truth of HRT that "your mileage may vary" Is that so unthinkable to you that maybe there testis are unusually vulnerable compared to the median?

As such IF and only IF my speculation is accurate. and sterility gives Jennifer such distress I would advise delaying HRT for a month or so then try donating again... Also I'm sure you were told no masturbation prior to providing a donation.

  Mine went from higher than normal for my age to zero in 2 1/2 weeks.  If anything, get off of the HRT for a time as prescribed by your doctor.  The sperm count may go back up with the short time you were on HRT.  Bank your sperm BEFORE going on HRT!  I am an age related dead end.

I haven't started lol I put it off, that was what I hopped for

I've taken all of 3 doses of estrogen so far.   and no Spyro.  I didn't think 3 e would do anything lit this by it s self

Maybe you are like me.


I have always had very good swimmers, many girlfriends has noticed that through the years.

But 2 years ago or something like that they started to become less vigilant and this last child of ours took like ages to make . And just before starting hrt (almost 4 weeks ago) I was almost sterile. Why? I dont know but I am pretty eager to find out just out of curiosity.


It seems like they just shut down for some reason.

*hugs* x.x I'm sorry to hear that, I hope you can figure it out. It may be as simple as just waiting a bit to let your body start making them again, so don't worry too much right now.

Haven't you posted in the past about being XXY?  Unfortunately if so, then a fairly common side effect is sterility.

Good luck.

Sweetheart I know the feeling! I'm sterile as well, and always have been. I never really had much of any hormone in my body :/ It gets better with time. PM me if you need someone to talk to

That still sounds worse for your fertility than taking nothing Jennifer. Did you start at all before you tried to bank?

Not sure I understand... but I know what you're going through. When my doctor said I couldn't have a baby unless I got off of hormones for about half a year, I cried for like a week. Technically, I COULD do that... but I do NOT want to regress back to boy mode and it would be years before I'm ready to have a child anyway. Sooo... I just try to put it behind me. I try to identity myself as one of those infertile women. It sucks... but, it happens. And it happens to us. -hugs-

I was always sterile even during my early years before I ever started on HRT. I envy people who have kids.

When I get sad about this, I try to see the positive side: if transsexualism has a genetic component, then you decrease the chances of your children having to go through such turmoil by not reproducing.

And hey! There's still adoption. I'd love to adopt a child.

i dont get why its particulaty bad? the world is pretty overopulated anyway and you can always adopt
