[QUOTE="johndoesmith, post: 78588, member: 13404"] I don't think clomid would be a great idea for you, for a few reasons. LH is mid range with total testosterone fairly low(really low when you consider that your high SHBG is artificially inflating your total testosterone level) and your SHBG is fairly high and clomid will only increase this. You don't need an AI until you need one. Your E2 is NOT mid range, it's at 12ish pg/ml when converted, and considering this is a standard E2 test you're most likely lower. Your doctor doesn't seem the most knowledgeable, since he's only going to be checking your CBC and total testosterone, doesn't believe in checking E2, and isn't considering clomid's impact on SHBG. hCG might be worth a shot, but there's not really a significant advantage over TRT. Both are suppressive and hCG monotherapy is much more difficult to titrate, it's a rather inconsistent treatment, and is often less effective IMO. I'm also not sure what "testosterone spray" is, I assume the nasal spray? I'd get another opinion. Your Thyroid labs look a little bit suspect, but I'd wait for someone else here to comment on those, as I am not as knowledgeable with thyroid. [/QUOTE]
