[QUOTE="Wolfblood, post: 125509, member: 29670"] Hey. First time poster here. I'm in a very similar situation as you but I'm the husband. My wife and I moved in with each other in late 2013 and married June 2014. Right when I moved in the problems started. Grumpy, no sex drive, just feeling acky, hot flashes, etc.. After many fights I went to check my T and it was around 166. My primary doctor put me on compounded T because at the time pharm. gels were expensive even with insurance. It might me feel better for a week then nothing. We had more fights and arguments. So I went to see a urologist. Tested lower again. I was put on Clomid. 12.5 ED. I felt like complete crap for the first 6 weeks. I don't know how long your husband has been on it but it did take a while to feel better. My T got to upper 300s but still no increase in sex drive and more fights. My doctor retired and I went to another one. He put me on 50 ED. My levels went to low 400s. As far as Clomid goes, I felt better. I was lifting weights 3 to 4 times a week. I didn't feel achy. The side effects of low T went away except for the sex drive. We would have sex maybe once or twice a week which let to more fights. So I saw a new urologist. He put me on Cialis (compounded by Empower Pharmacy since name brand is ridiculously expensive). It gave me more confidence in performing but once again sex drive stayed low. We had another argument and I am now on TRT. 100 MG Testosterone Cyp. shot once a week which I started about a week ago. I felt good on the first 5 days but crashed on the 6th. It's like my body craves sleep and food now. So I don't know if that is a good thing but like Clomid I have to give it time. Is your husband against TRT? If it has been a while on Clomid (at least 6 weeks) and no improvement then I think TRT is the way to go. I really didn't want to give myself shots every week but it's not too bad. I use to give myself allergy shots. Of course, children are important in this subject. The reason I was on Clomid was to preserve fertility but now my wife is getting a partial hysterectomy for health reasons which is another reason for the change to shots.
