Decision Time: T-Cyp or Clomid

Hmm, neither of the doctors I consulted mentioned that to me when looking at my labs. What is the difference in treatment between the two types if using T-cyp?

No surprise there! You wouldn't believe half the stuff I had to deal with on my experiences with doctors /endos when I started out 10 years ago.

Regardless of Primary or Secondary, treatment is the same. You're just simply replacing and increasing your testosterone serum levels with exogenous testosterone, usually suspended in cottonseed or grape seed oil.
 
140mg per week seems high, and, you're right, most guys start at 100mg per week. Personally, I don't think cypionate is the best ester. I recently started daily injections of propionate and am feeling a lot better than I was when I was on cypionate.

As others have said, you probably shouldn't waste your time with Clomid. Age is a factor when it comes to recovery of natural production.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
