[QUOTE="jkp062814, post: 214293, member: 43365"] My endocrinologist prescribed clomiphene citrate to me roughly 5 years ago (I was 28yo at the time). Had low T symptoms, labs confirmed. Endo first did the "Clomid test" in which I took, I believe, 100mg daily for 10 days and then had labs done. Labs confirmed that I had secondary hypogonadism rather than primary, so my body was able to produce T. She tried to kickstart my HPTA with a lower dose for several months before slowly stopping usage. Besides more mental clarity and maybe less joint pain, I can't say that I ever felt any other symptoms improve significantly. Unfortunately once I stopped usage, my numbers tanked again. We checked for a pituitary tumor, nothing, so she thinks it may be genetic. Since my wife and I wanted to have kids, she agreed to keep me on very low-dose clomiphene for several years. Fortunate enough to have quickly conceived my first son in 2018 and just had a second son in Sept of this year. Since we wanted to stop after having two kids, my endo agreed to start testosterone, which has been studied much longer and typically has a better chance of increasing Free T (clomid never really increased my free T into the normal range). Endo started me on just 25mg daily gel. Did that for 2.5 months, labs still showed very low T. She increased to 50mg daily gel which I used for one month before convincing my family doctor that the gel is too messy, especially with young kids, too expensive and inconvenient. He agreed and switched me to 50mg weekly test cyp IM injections. Had my first shot on 12/17 and gave myself the next one on 12/24. I really wish he had started me out a bit higher as it seems that 100mg (split into two weekly shots) seems to be very common to start out with. I plan to try and convince one of them to increase, as I feel that I've spent 4.5 months now using gels and low dose injections and don't feel much better in any areas yet. All of that to say, Clomid worked for me in terms of increasing my levels while maintaining fertility! [/QUOTE]
