[QUOTE="AlcahueteJ, post: 49576, member: 12816"] I met with the endocrinologist last week for my five month follow-up. He is keeping me on Clomid (same dose, 50 mg M/W/F) until January. At that point I'll have a follow-up MRI of my pituatary gland, blood work, and then a discussion about slowly tapering off of Clomid. I have also been given the green light on losing some weight now that I've put on enough. I've put on about 17 - 18 pounds, and he said I can lose some weight if I desire. He said about 8 - 10 pounds if I wanted, but I was going to start with about 5. He thinks my low T was caused by a combination of my restricted calories/low body weight/fat, and an issue with my pituatary gland. Which is why he's keeping me on Clomid. He feels you need a longer period of time on it, then a slow taper, for the body to correct the problem long-term. It's also possible it wasn't necessarily how lean I was, but simply how long I was restricting calories for. Regardless, I don't think anyone is suggesting I go back to being as lean as I was, but I can lose some weight and see how I feel. I know how it feels when my testosterone is low, so I can gauge my weight loss by how I feel. I plan on losing ~ 5 lbs. and then trying to put on some more muscle (I lost a fair amount the last few years). Keeping my dieting stints shorter should help. [/QUOTE]
