22 years old treated with Clomiphene monotherapy, still have symptoms

[undercover]

I have hypogonadism. I'm 22 years old with a total T level of 294.5. LH and FSH are also low normal. My doctor put me on clomiphene citrate to try and get my testosterone level up, so I took it for 6 weeks and it got my level up to 638, but I don't feel any different at all. Still tired, lack of interest in women. I remember reading something that clomiphene often will get numbers up on paper, but symptoms don't go away unless you get on actual TRT. Is this true? Or is the low testosterone just not what's causing me issues? I just can't believe on paper my level doubled because I feel no different.

This is very common and occurs in the majority of cases. If you want symptom relief, you need TRT.

I went on a protocol of Clomid and HCG. The combination resolved my symptoms and got my numbers up.

Would you attribute the HCG to getting rid of your low test symptoms? On clomid alone I just don't have any increase in desire for women or libido. Considering HCG but idk if it's worth pinning 4 times a week forever when I can just get on TRT and pin once a week.

I don't even feel three of the four. Pinning is no big deal once I got used to the idea. I use a 31ga BD insulin syringe.

I already pin every day for my L carnitine pre workout. I wouldn't want to have 3-4 days a week where I pin twice.

There are other options, oral T in the form of Jatenzo.

What was your E2 on the Clomid? That could have been causing your symptoms.
