    Lots of bw results, what else to check before TRT?

    No I haven't, but I have heard of it. But like I said I'm hesitant to use clomid. I would try this if a) I had more time at this stage (I won't go into the reason for lack of time), and b) if I started TRT and needed to come off.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
