23 year old, low T, this is my story! Clomid??? Please help!

The combination of low T and Iron/Ferritin may be a sign of training exhaustion. Athletes that cut cardio back and replace with a strength block typically recover their T numbers.

Still on Clomid and don't regret it (I'm definitely secondary). It's a good test to see how your axis is holding up or not. I'm more interested in finding out what I'm doing wrong (diet, fitness, allergies). With that said if CYP/HCG injections help me get over a short term hump, I'm not opposed to it.
 
Two more things:

-Prolactin levels can spike and skew if you had sex the night before the test. Google search for the exact time parameters, the TRT docs know about this. May not need an MRI if this is the case.

-If your DHEA levels are over parameter, you might be taking in DHEA in one of your supplements. DHEA has been observed in shutting down HPTA, I suspect this to be a culprit for my own issues. Check your supplements when you get a chance.
 
Hey guys,

So


DAY 1: I tried a mixture of Chrysen and Clomid 25mg, as well as a 20 mg Cialis and went out with friends and girlfriend. Got back to the crib, and was unable to perform period. Felt relaxed, was having fun, but nothing. Night of + the next morning.


Usually, if anything, my equipment will work, I just won't be as "into" it, or have as much sensation this time... Virtual flatline.


I know it's only one day of treatment and too soon to tell anything but this is highly discouraging. When you Google "Clomid libido", "Clomid erections", "Clomid sex drive male", 95% of what I read is negative.


My prolactin levels are on the higher end, my progesterone levels are high above normal, and my estradiol numbers are also high. Which makes me believe that Clomid may not be able to do the trick because it'll increase those numbers even further and make my problems worse.


I'm THIS CLOSE to giving up and just going on TRT at the age of 23. I don't even care anymore. This has honestly been the most stressful 4 months of my life and I could've completed 3 university courses with the amount of time I've put into research. I've spent $2000 of my own money on this shit with no resolve.


So I ask you guys:


1) If you were also a 23 year old male, would you be eager to jump on TRT knowing you'd be on it for life?


2) Is there any alternative measures you can think of?


3) What are the chances I will become infertile if I start at age 23? If I combine with HCG will I be fine?


Thank you so much for your time and help! I am looking for guidance here from some guys who have been in my shoes!
 
yeah just jump on it im 18 and 2months before when i was 17 they sold me a supplement at gnc that shrinked my balls now have low testosterone and gonna have to start testosterone at age 18 its rare to find a antiaging clinic that treats 18year olds

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

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