[QUOTE="Gman86, post: 155421, member: 15043"] Oh I tried literally everything. When I first got my labs back I researched for weeks. And then spent like $200 on supplements. I tried literally everything! Every supplement that you can think of to lower SHBG I’ve tried, no joke. I can’t remember the whole list, as it was 5 years ago, but I know for sure I’ve tried boron. I even had one of my TRT doctors prescribe me Danazol for a bit. I forget why I stopped taking it. I must of either had side effects, or maybe it didn’t work, or maybe it worked, but not good enough to justify the price. I honestly forget, but I’m sure if it worked well I would of stayed on it. So it most likely didn’t work as well as I wanted it to. So the first few years I was on HCG monotherapy. Had a lot of E2 and gyno issues. Tried Clomid. Felt the worst I’ve ever felt in my entire life. Very depressed, almost suicidal. Just felt absolutely horrible. Then started Testosterone with HCG after that, and was on that up until around the beginning of this year. Stopped using an ai and HCG at the beginning of the year, to see how I felt on just testosterone alone. I currently feel pretty good, just have a lot of brain fog. But I’ve had brain fog the whole time on HRT, and am pretty sure it’s due to the black mold in the house I’ve been at the last 5 years. Coincidentally when I was 27 and started having low T. I’ll be 33 next month. Other than the brain fog I’m doing well in all categories. As far as fertility, imo you have nothing to worry about.
