[QUOTE="brendangaz, post: 135965, member: 38236"] 37M here, looking for advice on what to do next. Brief history follows. I have had low T for several years now, former opioid addict and Urologist thinks secondary hypogonadism based on LH & FSH). I tried HPTA restart a few years back with Clomid which brought total T from about 160 ng/dL to 250 ng/dL. Fast forward to last September, when I decided to try HCG monotherapy. Dosing has been 500IU EOD. I felt AWESOME on HCG after about a week for 1-2 weeks, then pretty much back to baseline prior to HCG. Here are my labs prior to starting HCG last September: Free T: 52.6 pg/mL (35.0 - 155.0 pg/mL) Total T: 273 ng/dL (250 - 1100 ng/dL) Estradiol: 16 pg/mL (7 - 50 pg/mL) SHBG: 21nmol/L (10 - 50 nmol/L) Here are my labs from earlier this week after ~4 months on HCG: Free T: 14.6 pg/mL (8.7 - 25. pg/mL) Total T: 324 ng/dL (264 - 916 ng/dL) Estradiol: 14.7 pg/mL (7.6 - 42.6 pg/mL) SHBG: 23 nmol/L (16.5 - 55.9 nmol/L) Just feeling frustrated, and not sure where to go from here. Was trying to avoid TRT due to long-term nature and potential sides. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated. Thank you! [/QUOTE]
