Hey, I'm a 24-year-old guy and I've noticed that I don't really have a beard or mustache, just a few follicles on my chin. I'm starting to wonder if this might be a testosterone issue. Is there anything I can do to fix it? Like, should I consider taking hormones or something?

View allSo I had an iui done on September 21st, and my doctor told me to take susten 200 day and night for 3 weeks. Recently, I've been having some stomach or leg pain like my period might be starting, and then I took a pregnancy test today, but it was negative. Does this mean my iui didn't work? Should I stop taking susten or keep going? Just feeling a bit confused about what to do next.
