My 18yr old Son who is now living with me in the UAE is 150kg at 5ft 9 so really obese. His test is low at 11.9 nmol/L (7.60 - 31.40) and E2 at 53 pmol/L (0.00 - 191.99). I haven't had his SHBG tested yet as it's a pain getting anything done over here. Did his bloods in the UK 2 months ago.

I’ve stopped TRT due to some medical issues. However, I crashed my estrogen with too much AI. I’d like to start Clomid for PCT, but wondering if Clomid will lower my estrogen making my e2 recovery slower.
Causes Of Male Infertility
Male infertility is most often due to three factors: 1) blockages that prevent the delivery of sperm; 2) low sperm count; and 3) misshapen or immobile sperm cells. However, because the process is so delicate, many related factors can also contribute to the overall...
I recently transitioned from taking Clomid to Testosterone. While on the Clomid I noticed increased nipple sensitivity and also tissue build up around my nipples. Does anyone know if this is common with Clomid and if so will it go away now that I have transitioned off?
Thanks
Hi everyone, I'm 32 years old and have secondary hypogonadism (was diagnosed at 25 years old). I've been on clomid for around 7 years now that was prescribed by my urologist. My main question is whether testosterone injections are more effective than clomid for secondary sexual characteristics...
Background about me. 25 yo male NOT diagnosed with secondary or primary hypogonadism. I do have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis and take Levothyroxine and Cytomel. (Absolutely no natural thyroid function whatsoever.) First month on TRT I walked around like a god, crazy erections, confidence, no...
I am 19 years old. I have been overtraining since I was 17. At the age of 18 i got bloods done and total test came back at 350 ng/dl, i was devastated and didn't know what to do, i had no idea it was overtraining that had been causing it. So i continued to train and train hard for the next year...
I was given two choices for treatment of low T:
Option 1:
Testosterone Cyp 200 mg/ml – 0.35 ml IM/SQ TWICE A WEEK (140 mg/week)
HCG 400 iu SQ 2x/week
Anastrozole 0.125mg 2x/week – h/o elevated E2, titrate on follow-up
Vitamin D3 5000 iu daily
Fish oil 3-4...
Hello Guys!
36 years old, in good shape, commendable physique, 5'10", 183lbs (83kg), 12%BF, Low T for at least 5 years. Tried every diet and lifestyle change possible to address this but to no avail. Finally making the TRT jump!
Here are my lab numbers (LabCorp):
Testosterone, Serum ...
Hi everyone. Long time member, first time really stuck as to what to do. Currently 46 years old, nearly 47. Got my testosterone levels checked around 6 years ago - they were low "normal" (lol!). Two tests were around the low 300's if we're talking ng/dl. This is in the U.K, on the nhs. I self...
When to the urologist this time and he told me to get on arimidex .5 very Monday and Friday and Clomid 50 mg ED. Basically the same protocol I’ve been on for quite some time minus the Arimidex. He did this because he said using hcg with TRT is not 100% saving fertility. Put me on arimidex...
Long story short, I never really got "dialed-in" on TRT. My dosage fluctuated, but I never felt "great." My ending dose was 100mg test cyp (2 shots IM weekly of 50mg) and 600iu HCG (3 shots SQ weekly of 200iu), with no AI. This kept my total T at around 800 measured in my trough, and E2 at about...
Hi guys
So, I’ve read a number a number of posts across multiple TRT forums, and I feel like I’ve learnt a lot, but equally feel like I’ve opened up a huge can of worms!
I recently had a blood test to confirm a long-held belief of mine; that I had low testosterone. I’m now at a decision...
I had symptoms of low T and the culprit a year ago was probably my high SHBG. My lab before HRT:
test: 871 ng/dL
estradiol: 38 pg/mL
shbg: 78.4 nmol/L
Free: 10.9 ng/dL
Bio: 256 ng/dL
An incompetent doc at lowT99, put me on clomid (.25 mg 3x a week) and anastrazole (.5mg 2x a week) then had me...
Hey guys (and Admins) I'm looking for some pick me up. I'm 44 and have lowish test; my libidio and work drive are down these last few years. Will a standalone SERM help?? I'm a 2 times a week gym goes. 6'2 230lb ex athlete. I've never done anything more than protein powder before.
I've...
Hey there, I've been following for a while and gained a lot of information so I thought I'd share. In 2016 I was 28 years old and had my first full blood panel drawn after feeling very lethargic and unmotivated for some time. I had been a wrestler through college and continued to train for MMA...
Currently taking clomiphene 50 mg eod. Most recent t levels were 822 (range 300-1080) but my Estradiol is 52.8 (range <=60) which is closer to the high end as well. Should I take a lower dose (25 mg eod) or should I use an AI? Currently a 27 year old male with hypogondiasm and ED. Still...
I've been taking Clomid for 2 years at different dosages. It's really been an experiment since I'm 37yo, and want to preserve my fertility for a few more years. I've had my labs done every 6-8 months. The biggest issue for me has been keeping E2 low and SHBG within normal ranges. I'll post my...
I recently had my initial consultation with Defy. It went really well and I'm very pleased to be working with them. As is usual after any doctor appointment, I always think of questions later. I'm a 32 year old male that is currently trying to conceive with my wife. Over the past several years...
Two questions at bottom:
I am a 50 year old male who started TRT about 4 years ago. My total T was about 297 before starting TRT. After struggling with high hematocrit (and giving double reds was not enough to keep it down), my doctor put my on clomiphene citrate last May. He said his...
I seem to have higher than normal DHEA and Progesterone. What are some things to look into regarding possible cause(s)?
Most recent results: https://imgur.com/a/2A6ac
Protocol: 15mg Clomid ED (high DHEA and Progesterone predates Clomid usage)
40 y.o., good health
Clomid Success Story Continued: 9 month Follow-Up
Hello again,
The link above also links to all of my previous threads from the beginning of my journey here.
At my last appointment back in August I discussed my high levels of testosterone, specifically we discussed my now increased levels...
Hi. I am 46 and struggling with ED issues. I take anxiety and depression meds that have major sexual side effects. I have taken them for many years. I used to be able to "game" the system by taking a few days off the meds. Sexual function would return to normal but I'd get in a bad mental state...
Hi, I am a 35 year old male and have been taking 80mg Test cyp twice per week. 160 mg weekly injections for about 9-10 months. I was originally put on by my doc for testosterone suppression while taking suboxone. Total T was in the low 200”s. My latest about two weeks ago was 900. My doc put...
Greetings gents,
Just thought I'd share my experience, in case any of you are nervous about getting off TRT and jumping on clomid or HCG to restore fertility. Here's how it went down for me.
I'm 31 years old and spent nearly two years on TRT @ 180mg every 7 days. Nothing but positive results...
Clomid 25mg ED
Arimidex 0.25mg E3.5D
Total Test 1256 (264 to 916)
Free 20.5 (8.7 to 25.1)
Estradiol Sensitive 40.1 (8 to 35)
CBC Tests all within range
I'm switching to Enclomiphene to rid myself of the estrogenic side effects of clomid. I am getting it from Nootropics Source.
Since...
