My Battle with Low Libido and Low T - Lab Results Inside

I agree with Fifty above here...leave it things alone for a bit you're doing too much in too short of a time and thats just not how this is done, the body needs time to adjust and reach a stable point and you're ignoring that.

Thanks for the reply!

Do you suggest waiting for a while without taking anything ( clomid ) and re-doing the lab tests again?

I don't see what that could change since I've waited for nearly 6 years now waiting for things to fix themselves by making dietary changes, going 5x a week to the gym, 8 hours of sleep , natural herbs etc.
 
Ok another update here.
I waited two more weeks to see how things would change after stoping Clomid.

Here are the values for T and Est.

Total T: 4.96 ng / mL ( 3-10.8 )
Estradiol: 18 pg/mL ( 11-44 )

Looks like both fell but Estradiol a bit faster.
Also, during this time I had a phone consultation with Dr. Abraham Morgentaler ( author of Testosterone for Life ).
He believes also that I should be on TRT and agrees with my local urologist that Nebid is a good start.

So today I'm going in for my first injection and hopefully will help.

Will keep you updated on how things go.

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.
