35 years old Dr says too young for trt-

[hypohyper]

My doctor says that she would put me on clomid twice a week for a few years until my testosterone gets low enough to go on TRT. She also says monitoring estrogen levels is unimportant. What do you think?

My latest labs from October 10 are total T: 297ng/dl, (300-1080 range) Free T 3.81ng/dl (4.7-24.4)

Old labs-
August 2017- total T 528ng/dl (250-1100)

January 2015- total T 293 ng/dl. (240-1120) Free T 5.91 Ng/dl (3.5-30)

July 11, 2013 (age 30) - total T 510ng/dl , free t-76.5pg/ml (35-155pgml)

Thanks.

Low dose clomid is worth a try. Most members to best at 12.5 mg every day, 12.5 every other day or 12.5 mg twice a week.

Are guys that do well on low dose clomid unicorns...or do they really exist?

you need to find a way to get E2 tested, why don't you just order and pay for that test yourself.

It would be nice to know your E2 now, but more critical to know it after your start clomid.

I would probably be looking for another doctor, though I agree that you might do well with clomid.

Dragonbits has a good point about obtaining youre own E testing but then youre still in a pickle with this Dr, if they won't test E, they probably won't treat it if it became necessary. Too if they prescribe you 25mg (or more) per day would be another red flag for this Dr as Vince said 12.5/D is far more reasonable and much less likely to have the E side effects that your Dr won't test and probably won't treat.

I think you should find a competent doctor.
