Noca,
I really feel bad for you. I'm still young and single, so I haven't had kids yet either. But I can't think of anything I want more! It would be so hard to have to make such a decision.
The first thing I would look at is what the dangers of low testosterone are, besides depression. (For example, I saw one site that said low testosterone can eventually cause an increased risk of diabetes.) Then look to see what side effects or dangers are involved with the testosterone shot. And don't just take it from your doctor, check the internet as well and do your own research. Then you can compare the benefits and risks and decide the best course of action. Although I don't really know anything about them, I know there are two natural testosterone supplements called Testarol and ZMA.You might look into those and try them first...maybe they'll surprise you and you won't need the shots after all. Make sure to tell your doctor and be closely monitored, however.
That being said, if you feel you do need the shot, I would get it. Unless you are very young, the odds of science having such a major breakthrough while you are still of childbearing age are not probably that good anyway. I wouldn't risk my health for such a long shot. If you and your spouse are open to it, you might consider adopting. There are tons of beautiful children who need a good home.
I will be praying for you as you make this decision. Gentle hugs!
