It is important to keep the levels up because testosterone is a sex hormone that plays important roles in the body. In men, it regulates sex drive (libido), bone mass, fat distribution, muscle mass and strength, and the production of red blood cells and sperm.

My wife is undergoing her 3rd IUI cycle this month. The reason for going for IUI is my erectile dysfunction. Rest of her and my reports are normal. If the 3rd cycle also fails, can we go for the next IUI attempt after 3 to 4 months? Please advise. We do not want to go for IVF so early.
