Very good point Carlitto! This is something we're going to have to find or prove ourselves!Volunteers are hard to find!!If my brother wasn't 14,000 Km away, I might ask him!
From Demo, Your T/P Guinea Pig!This is really exciting. I just now received a voicemail from my endocrinologist: after weeks of reading up on T/P (Testosterone + Progesterone), male contraceptives, etc. he finally approved it!!He will start me with 5mg of Norethindrone, titrating me up till it is determined how much I need - plus the 15mg daily of testosterone - in the hopes of raising my POIS cure from 80% to 100%!Wow! Another possible major change in my life of 30+ years' POIS agony!Norethindrone info:http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0000278/As always, do not take this as a recommendation for YOU. Keep looking till you find a good medical team - and fire them when they don't serve you!Thank you soooooooooo much, Doctor G!!

Oh, yeah! I think I remember that you brought that up before. I also think it's a really good idea. edit: Vand., you're seeing Dr. Waldinger, maybe you can mention that to him as a possible test he can do? What do you think?

QUESTION: Do I need to do Semen Analysis both before AND after starting T/P? I just emailed and PM'd "lauracostis" with an urgent message. If anyone else can comment, I'd appreciate that as well.I'm still excited as hell!edit - the urgency to my note to lauracostis is: I have the prescription for T/P but I don't know if I should start taking it.The endocrinologist suggests that I Semen-Test 5 days into the treatment (for the "AFTER" part).So.....I'm wondering if I need a Semen Analysis "BEFORE" starting T/P. I don't want to spend $175 twice (and BYOM - bring your own magazine [] twice), unless it will benefit POIS Research.Cross-posted to SMF as well. See Male Contraceptive Methods under Auto-Immune.
Response from a top allergy doctor in Harley St, London:Dear...Thank you for your letter dated.. I am afraid I have never come across post orgasmic illness syndrome until you sent me the information and case studies (I sent all Waldingers studies). I am not sure you can be allergic to your own sperm as this is an intrinsic part of your body and you are likely to have immunity to your own cells and products. I therefore do not think that you could be hypo-desensitised or undertake immunotherapy for this.Yours sincerely...

See Male Contraceptive Methods under Auto-Immune.In an ideal world, a semen analysis before your T/P treatment would be great, as it would help you to verify that your normal semen has changed as a result of the treatment. If you can afford it and you have the patience to not start your T/P prescription, it would be great.Then again, I can see that you are excited about starting a new treatment and want to see the results! You could still find out the base level of your semen by discontinuing treatment for x days, but if its working for you then I doubt you would feel like doing this!Good luck whichever choice you make!
Hurray, I'm choosing BEFORE+AFTER based on your post, and also daveman's at SMF, edit: and lauracostis just email-recommended me to do both as well if affordable! SO I'm glad I held off!With T/P dosage probably continuing to be increased, alongside increased POIS improvement (hopefully!), I will probably wind up doing more Semen Analyses with each T/P dosage increase. Oh well, I didn't really need that large-screen TV yet!(In color, too!) []Thank you, everyone!!

Yeah, it's pretty hard to ask someone to do it in a spoon and then inject it, if you know what I mean!...
http://liveindhaka.com/2011/04/08/1-in-100-men-may-have-an-allergy-to-their-own-semen-4/1:100 is not a serious probability.1:100 000 to 1:10 000 000 (650 cases found for now ) is better.
