Brief Answer:
Please clarify a few points

Detailed Answer:
Hello
If testosterone level was low, there has to be a reason. Low level needs correction by HRT. otherwise sperm count and seminal formation is impaired. If you want a more detailed opinion, please answer following
1- what was the indication of HRT 5 years back?
2- Are you taking anything now?
3-Please specify in detail your sexuality and concerns
though I shall try to answer as best as I can, if you don't want to open up.

Brief Answer:
Please get following tests done

Detailed Answer:
Hello
I think you took premarin not premium 5 years back. Did you start with intention of changing your sex to female and now you have changed your mind? and want to be as such. if it is so, before your questions are answered , you should get colour doppler study of Gonads (Penis and Scrotum) and serum testosterone, FSH and LH. Without these reports, no body can predict what will happen to you.

Brief Answer:
Think well before you take these medicines

Detailed Answer:
Hello
OK, it seems you are not sure what you want, you want to be a male or a female. it happens with a lot of people with Gender Identity Disorder. But the fact is you have to choose one , you can't have both. Now you intend to reverse your decision when you meet this woman. But would you again change if you meet a man you like and rethink of change over to other identity. this can really damage your body physically, mentally and sexually. These medicines are to be taken after a prescribed procedure . I am not sure if you can father a child with this mental and physical state. So I suggest to reach at a final decision on what you want to be.
