I've been dealing with zero libido, weak erections, low energy and brain fog, inability gain muscle etc for the last 2 years. I'm 29 yo 140 lbs, exercise 3 times a week, Diet is clean, eat a lot of protein and carbs and try to cut out sweets.
I have seen 4 different urologist and also been to men's clinic to get an opinion on my symptoms.I have had many blood tests they're very similar so i am sharing the latest one
Recent Bloods:
Total T: 265 ng/dL (264 - 916)
Free T: 7.62 (9.3 - 26.5)
SHBG: 15 (16.5 - 55.9)
Estradiol: 15.38 pg/mL
FSH: 8.2 mIU/mL (1.3 - 19.3)
LH: 4.9 mIU/mL (1.2 - 9.0)
TSH: 0.6 uIU/ML (.40 - 4.00)
T4 Free: 1.51 ng/dL (.7 - 1.6)
I also have low sperm levels probably because of varicocele (its been fixed 2 times but still hasn't improved numbers). Men's clinic recommended to start me on HCG first to boost up the sperms then have them frozen, then start TRT (maybe he will keep the HCG along side TRT to keep fertility). But i wanted to see another urologist to get an different opinion.
The urologist recommended to start me on Clomid for 3 months. He believes it could boost sperm levels and Testosterone as well. He asked for semen analysis and blood test at the end of 3 months.He said he would never recommend TRT for me since i want kids.
Should i listen urologist advice and try Clomid or is it pointless? I am very hesitant about starting TRT because i already have low sperm levels and it could make things worse even with HCG added.
MY MAIN GOAL IS TO FIND OUT WHAT IS CAUSING LOW T AND ALL THESE SYMPTOMS.. SO FAR I'VE HAD NO LUCK WITH DOCTORS. NONE OF THEM THINKS MY T IS LOW AND THEY DON'T HAVE A SOLUTION.
Please tell me what you think based on your experiences . sorry for the long post
