And I'm done with Clomid. I took the first pill on Sunday the 11th, and one each day after. By Sunday the 18th I had an all day headache. Called the office Monday and they had me cut down the frequency, so I had a pill on the 18th and the next on the 21st. By Friday the 23rd I felt like I was...

Gynecomastia is his basis I imagine. Couple years of super low T, super high prolactin, and shit happens. Estradiol will be checked when I go back in 3 months, just didn't check it today.

I saw the Urologist's PA today. He's having me quit the testosterone cypionate and switch to Clomid. Doing this because while I don't have plans to have a kid, I am also not planning on not having kids. He'd rather try to raise my testosterone with clomid to maintain fertility, just to avoid...

I actually did just a half dose Saturday morning and was going to start the every 3.5 days thing. It seems like I was feeling better overall, but I could notice a drop off at the end of the week. Also, my quads are sore for a couple days after IM injections, so I got some 27ga syringes and...

I had my testosterone checked on January 5. It's up to 464 ng/dL now (Nov 7 test was 51, first shot Nov 17). That's doing 100mg once a week. I have ordered HCG on my own and am waiting on that, but I'm going to see a urologist in early February and see if I can get it prescribed and also start...

I had my second MRI on 11/20 and just got the results back. The tumor has shrunk from 2.5 x 2.5 x 2.6 to 2.1 x 2.1 x 1.0cm. By volume, that's like a 75% decrease? Did I do that math right? https://i.imgur.com/v4mJWUo.png is the report. So the cabergoline is really working. That makes me...

Because I don't have unlimited money to be paying $200 office visits? I'm not sure who else to go that can treat me for low testosterone and a tumor in my head, ya know? The tumor most likely caused the testosterone to quit being made, and I'm honestly more interested in getting that thing...

The prolactin level was down to 37 (5 - 20 normal), which is great. But not great enough to get my cabergoline dose cut down. Another 3 months of 4 x .5mg per week. Shit's expensive, so I was hoping the dosage would go down. And I get to go for another MRI to see if my tumor has shrunk at...

Yes, that's what cabergoline is used for. It is in a class of drug called a dopamine agonist. The Doc explained how all that is supposed to work, about receptors and pathways and such, but my eyes sort of glazed over. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12036422

Well, the idea is to get the prolactin under control and see if the “pathways” start working and my body starts to make testosterone on its own. I expect the prolactin to be way down tomorrow because I've been on four pills of Cabergoline a week for the last two months (seems to be a high dose...

Ya sorry, I assume everyone knows what it is since I do. One Facebook group I was in for Prolactinomas was 90% female, so I sort of feel like I'm wandering blindly as a guy with one. There's anecdotes and small studies here and there, but... yea, doesn't feel too common to me. I wish I could...

I go see the Endo tomorrow and had my blood draw two days ago. I won't see the prolactin result until the appointment, but my testosterone is back down to 51 ng/dL. That's pretty disappointing. The cabergoline and lowering prolactin level haven't really helped the testosterone at all. I'm...

About two years ago, when I was 37, I had a physical and asked for a testosterone test mainly because I knew my dad had problems when he was about my age (he died in 1994). It was 108 ng/dL (range 300-1000). I guess that should have set off alarm bells, but the doctor wasn't worried and just...
