[QUOTE="Julio75, post: 32022, member: 12837"] I turned 40 last year. I have been borderline low for at least 3 years, maybe longer but that was the first time I had levels checked. Over these past 3 years my total T has been between 300 and 400, which usually prompted the physician to tell me I was normal. My body said otherwise though. I am very active and lift weights 3 times a week, but have made virtually no progress over the past few years. I am mostly going to the gym to hold onto what little muscle I have because if I miss much time in the gym the muscle starts fading pretty fast. My sex drive has continued to dwindle with occasional bouts of ED, and I have mostly relied on Viagra to have decent sex. Energy is okay because I eat well and stay active. I saw an Endo last November and she put me on Clomid to try a "restart". For the first few weeks I felt great. I was immediately seeing gains in the gym, waking up with morning wood like I was in high school, and felt kind of like a badass every morning when I would leave the house. My test showed a total T of 923 after week 3 and I thought I had found a miracle pill. About week 4 everything started to change as the estrogenic isomer of Clomid took over and I awoke one day with no wood and in a complete mental fog. I tried reducing dosage but it seemed this was just not the answer. So now it is out of my system, morning wood is scarce and only semi-rigid, and desire is gone. Gym gains are gone, and now my sleep is getting worse. So I go back in a few weeks to the Endo and I am considering TRT depending on what my next test shows. I would certainly like to live the way I felt those few weeks on Clomid before things went south. Is TRT the answer? Can I make enough lifestyle changes to get my 300-400 average up to 600 or higher? I want this decade of my life to be the best ever, but that is a difficult task with what I am currently dealing with. I appreciate any feedback from the group. [/QUOTE]
