Hello all, I am very happy to find this forum.
To make a long story short, i was diagnosed with Hypogonadism a few months back. I am 28, 6'3 and 190lbs. I don't smoke/drink and lead an active life. My first test showed my Test at 404 ng/dL (ref. range is 264-916 ng/dL), as well as very low FSH(1.2 mIU/mL from a reference range of 1.5-12.4) . Estradiol and Prolactin were normal. My second test showed a Test value of 286 ng/DL. My doctor prescribed me Clomid, i was skeptical about it but I did not want to get on injections just yet due to my age and the fact that my wife and I want to conceive this year. My doctor also talked about the mental side of things, since all my symptoms initially started with a bad streak of sudden premature ejaculation and that kind of got in my head, but the symptoms of low T appeared pretty quickly afterwards. Anyways, I got on 50 mg/3 times a week.
After starting Clomid, the only thing that got better was my mood, and even that was only so slightly. I don't think I've felt any physical differences, and if anything I got more moody. A month later I re-did my tests, Test increased to 923ng/dL and FSH to 2.1 (though not a big increase, still puts me in the "normal" range). The doctor wants to keep me on Clomid, despite me not feeling a single bit better, neither my libido nor my erections have recovered, and my premature ejaculation continues. Its been very uncomfortable. Im going to stop taking Clomid but i am back at square one.
Those who've dealt with secondary hypogonadism or a similar case, what has helped you? I don't want to jump on TRT just yet, but are there any other options that i can discuss with another specialist?
I guess I am also just looking to see that im not alone in this.
Thank you all and God bless.
