[QUOTE="phalloguy100, post: 257497, member: 45623"] Hey there! I've been on TRT for a while due to secondary hypogonadism. Due to moving / no job, I was off TRT for 2-3 years and my levels dropped to "normal" which for me is <200 total T. Started seeing a new PCP last year who ran 2 morning T tests, both came back low, so he started me on Androgel again. Recently I had the misfortune of having to see an endo (due to diabetes diagnosis), who just like the previous 2 endos, basically wanted to get me off TRT to "prove" I don't need it. He started me on Clomid 25mg daily and said to lower Androgel to 1 pump per day. Two months later, I was feeling absolutely horrible with hot flashes, depression, fatigue, and E.D. I re-did labs and it showed LH, FSH, Free Test and Estradiol all elevated, while total T in the 700's. I stopped it clomid, restarted androgel just 1 pump per day, and one month later tested with low-normal LH+FSH (which was normal for me), but free T even higher at 150 and total T higher still in the 900's... along with Estradial super high at 75. Endo wants me to stop androgel again, stay on clomid but decrease to 25mg three times per week. He refused to prescribe anastrazole until we re-do labs in 3 months at this new Clomid dose. All the previous symtoms are there again - hot floshes, no erections, etc. I've been reading posts here that Clomid works, but it takes time and men too often give up too quickly. I guess I wonder if it's worth staying on Clomid another 3 months with all the nasty side effects, especially if the endo won't even prescribe anastrazole in the meantime. I have an appointment scheduled at Defy for a second opinion, but it's a month away. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
