[QUOTE="MunchEase, post: 17783, member: 5119"] Hey everyone, Thanks for welcoming me to the forum! Really awesome to see you guys giving multi-paragraph responses to complete strangers on the internet. Hoping you guys have some guidance for me and I’d love to help you out with any issues I’m educated in! I am 23 years old, in peak physical condition (semi-professional athlete, 180 lbs, 6'1), eat incredibly healthy, live a healthy lifestyle, and overall have no serious health issues. I’ve gone through bad anxiety intermittently but I don’t believe this issue is related. Not on medication for it. I have been struggling with libido/erectile issues HARD over the past five months, and have spent probably a cumulative $2000 already trying to find an answer. I have seen three M.D.’s, a naturopathic doctor, two sex therapists, and trolled forums for more hours online more than you could imagine! This is my first time reaching out in a forum. Anyways, I followed everyone’s directions, experimented with tons of vitamins, was taking maca, adrenal supplements, and doing everything in my path to fix this issue. I took zinc, vitamin D, B, L-arginine, GNC Mega Man vitamin packs, was already in peak physical condition, getting good sleeps, etc, but I saw literally zero improvement. It's gotten to the point where I have no morning/sporadic erections, no sex drive, etc. And then of course I meet an amazing girl (perfect timing lol) I have been dating her now for the past 3 months, everything is going perfect, BUT I have been RUTHLESSLY coping with this. I take Cialis before we hang out every time - occasionally I am superman and rock her socks off, other times, I can't function period. NOW I got my blood work done multiple times and was told everything was normal by everyone. When I reviewed it myself, I noticed my testosterone was 372 ng/dl. Then I looked online. HOW DID NOBODY NOTICE THIS?! I couldn’t have driven faster back to the doctor’s office. There’s no reason my testosterone should be at the level of a 70 year olds! Finally, it all made sense. I was prescribed Androgel, and took it for possibly a week. Immediately I started to see results - I started to get morning wood, remembered what it was like to have a sex drive again, and the slow recovery process had begun. I wasn’t fixed but I definitely noticed improvement. But I also contacted a private medical clinic specializing in hormones (this process is gonna potentially cost $3000). The doctor was extremely alarmed that I was taking Androgel at such a young age. She told me that she feared I would never be able to have kids, and I was way too young to be shutting down my natural production - I would have to be on TRT for life.

Four days off TRT and I am right back to square one. Incredibly disheartening because I know it’s probably going to get worse before it gets better, and it’s gonna take some time to get back to normal! [B]ANYWAYS HERE ARE MY QUESTIONS: 1) This specialty doctor has said she will probably get me using Clomid. I’ve done my fair share of Googling and noticed horror stories of it killing libido/erections. She told me to stay off the internet and has said it has literally had a 100% success rate with her clients? What do you guys think of this? 2) Do you guys have any guidance/suggestions?

I look forward to working with you guys and hopefully contributing to this forum!
