Hello Ladies, I am new to this board and I would like to introduce myself. I am 42 and have been trying to conceive baby #1 for over 10 years. Dealing with infertility has drastically changed my life. I have completed 3 fresh IVF cycles. Two of the cycles resulted in a pregnancy but unfortunately I miscarried both times. I completed 2 fet cycles that resulted in BFN. The last couple of years I have been hestitate about doing another IVF from fear of failure. So that leads me to my question this past friday they tested my testosterone levels and it came back at an level of 17 ng/dl. I feel like that level is way too low but they keep telling me that this level is within normal range. Everything that read states that if your testosterone levels is not at 20ng/dl or better you can expect an bad outcome. Is there anyone who has experience with low testosterone levels that could give me some advice? Thanks
