[QUOTE="fifty, post: 122806, member: 18511"] I am just saying clomid is sometimes an option for "trt" if LH is low. It will tell the body to produce more testosterone. It works for some, it's cheap ($15/mo), and it's easy to take (1 pill per day usually at 25mg or 12.5mg). It will usually also raise E2 and SHBG some though so some don't like it. I always liked it though when I used it in the past even though I am a high SHBG guy. DHEA helps some people in the realm of sex drive. It is also cheap (~$10/mo for tablets...start at 5mg tablet twice a day and can go up from there). I remember at one point one of the pharmacies that TRT docs use was making a test cyp/dhea mixture to inject. Some reports of "hyper-sexuality" using that...it was thought to be the injectable dhea causing that "side effect". Some people find good benefits with a combination of dhea and pregnenolone. [I]There are many on this board who know way more than me. Maybe they will chime in on the above.[/I] Some people like that stuff and some people hate it. If I were you I would just do a bit of research on clomid, dhea, and pregnenolone. Would also consider a sleep study if insurance covers it or it's not too expensive where you're at. Those are things a doctor can advise you on as well. Clomid is the only one of those that is a prescription med. TRT is always an option but it's much more of a commitment than the options I listed above. You will have to inject test and hcg probably 2-3x /week. If your hematocrit gets too high from the injections, you will have to donate blood several times per year. Fertility can become an issue as TRT will shut you down. Many people when trying to have kids will come off TRT for a while (and add clomid) to get their sperm count back up to a normal/high level.
