[QUOTE="lookingforhelp, post: 55857, member: 13613"] My last Total T level before I started this was around the 400 ngdl mark. I also had below the reference range free T level and a SHBG level of 46 nmol/l. I am away from home currently and dont have exact results on me! I have posted them in my other posts though I think. I believe my problems stemmed from a head trauma. I was self employed and had my own construction business from the age of 19 and was very successful. After the head trauma I seemed to get worse and worse, not being able to do my job and just generally fatigued and weak. I then started taking some mens vitamins tablets to try and help the fatigue. These contained saw palmetto and Im not sure but I think that was the straw that broke the camels back in a sense. I really dont know what has caused it but stress, court cases to do with my assault, working from 6am to 6pm in manual labour 6 days a week + going out and partying like a young guy does eventually just broke my system. I have lived this for nearly 3 years now and I am relieved that something has helped so far. Its like finally seeing a light at the end of the tunnel! My Dr is great and initially suggested trying Clomid first but I had my fears and concerns regarding side effects and eye floaters. Because I didnt know what this was when it all happened to me, I thought it could have maybe been the saw palmetto and I read that a lot of Propecia guys didnt do well on Clomid so I decided that I should maybe try to avoid it for now. My Dr has requested I have bloods done just before Christmas and then to see him to discuss them. He initially said to take 500iu's MWF but then went on to say that if i feel more comfortable I could start off with a lower dose. If things carry on being a bit unstable I may do 500ius MWF like he originally suggested. I definately am having benefits from the HCG but I dont think its as smooth as a ride as Testosterone supplementation. I initially wanted to try HCG as it felt like the most natural way to try and boost my T levels. I also felt like it was a good starting point to see if Testosterone and hormonal issues were my problem. It is now quite clear to me that this is my problem and if I have to I will move onto a combo of HCG and TRT. Another concern for me was testicular shrinkage in regards to TRT. In the UK it is much harder to get hold of HCG or a prescription for it! At least now if I do add in Test to my regime I know I can get HCG. Believe me, in an ideal world I wouldn't be on anything but I have come to the point where I have to do something for my health's sake. I figured I could always try Clomid at a later date. [/QUOTE]
