[QUOTE="seppuku, post: 155958, member: 2030"] The short notes for my story are - Got NHS tested (UK) around 2012, age 41, tested low normal. Tested two weeks later after taking DAA, tested much lower. Bought some black market clomid, took it, tested again about four weeks later, came back double my first tests value. No testing till last year which i had through online service, had been taking low dose clomid since 2012, first test in 2018 came back low again (but with top of range LH). I think my low levels may have been caused by proviron that i had been taking, foolishly believing it didn't affect levels, but it can. I've had about eight blood draws done privately since last June, each one after either trying something new (ie, tocotrienols), or just waiting it out. It had gone down a bit after i stopped the clomid following the first draw (in case the constant high LH levels were causing problems), and crept up a bit after that. My last reading in June this year was 9.67 nmol/l (278ng/dl). My main complaint at this level is painful joints, hips, shoulders etc. I've wrestled with the idea of trt. You'd think at that level it would be an easy decision, but in my case i've been so fixated with being a 'natty' weight lifter for so many years now (nearly 30) that i worry i might not.....i don't know.....respect myself maybe? So i'm kind of in limbo, making no concrete decisions over any path of action (i've started self prescribed trt several times now and regretted it/stopped after first shot each time. In fact i did this again this Thursday, no doubt i'll be chomping on clomid again soon to try and undo any damage). So basically, no useful tips from me i'm affraid. [/QUOTE]
