[QUOTE="zentech, post: 88513, member: 17127"] Dr Rotman, I have been diagnosed with anabolic steroid induced hypogonadism (ASIH) at the age of 24, following several years of use as a competitive bodybuilder. My primary symptoms include low libido, ED, brain fog, and fatigue. I am under the care of an endocrinologist in Australia who did the standard workup before I started HCG (prolactin, thyroid, e2, total and free test, LH, FSH, SHBG), and sent me for a pituitary MRI. My MRI results were normal, and my bloodwork revealed normal LH and FSH, low IGF-1 and growth hormone, as well as a total testosterone of 7.5 (12-32 reference range). Free test was 188 (280-720). I haven't touched a steroid in over 12 months and have tried 3+ months of clomid monotherapy to no avail. I then tried 3 months of clomid and HCG combined (prescribed and monitored by the endo). At first the HCG worked wonders, and then one day it suddenly stopped working. Followup bloodwork revealed that my test had doubled, but was only 15 on a 12-32 range. Now he is talking about testosterone + HCG. What are your thoughts? Is there any other way to recovery? I am struggling to find a single documented case like mine anywhere, even among message boards. I would also like to ask you whether you think Clomid could cause any of my symptoms, as it has been used continually for the past 6 months at 25mg a day. [/QUOTE]
