[QUOTE="MR. evil, post: 23762, member: 12169"] I am trying to decide if making the jump to TRT is right for me and thought this forum might be able to steer me in the right direction. Current I am 38 years old, 6'-0" tall and 225lbs. 4 years ago my wife and I started trying to have children with no luck, after about a year of trying we decided to see a local fertility specialist who is also an Endo. At that time I was a very fit 185lbs. First thing he tested me for was my T level which came back really low, can't remember the number but it was in the 300 range. He decided to put me on Clomid (25mg daily) because TRT would make conceiving even harder. The Clomid did get my T levels back up into more of a normal range but slowly I started to put on BF and gain weight. Even as an avid road cyclist and mountain biker I couldn't keep the weight off. After 3 years of Clomid I have gained about 40 lbs (mostly the bad kind) and now have little energy or interest in cycling and 2 very expensive bikes are just collecting dust in the basement. On a positive note all this was not for nothing as my wife recently gave birth to a healthy baby girl who is the light of my life. As such I want to get my fat ass back into shape so I can be the kind of dad to her that my dad was for me. My wife and I have also decided that we will not be having anymore children and TRT is on the table if I so choose. Before I make an appointment with my Endo I am trying to find out as much as possible on the topic. 1. Is weight gain a common side effect of Clomid? 2. Can you tailor the TRT treatments more towards fat loss and maintenance vs muscle gain? Getting back down to my pre Clomid weight as well as getting my stamina and flexibility back are much more important to me than muscle gain. 3. If i start TRT will I need to be on it the rest of my life? Thanks in advance Tim [/QUOTE]
