I want to thank you all for the feedback and advice. Sorry I am first replying. This may be a bit long but I think it's really important I explain everything that has happened since I posted this. You may be quite surprised. Since my endo didn't want to consider clomid for my son I talked to my GP if he knew anyone that was a little more savy on the subject. He recommended a urologist he knew. I called the urologists office and when I mentioned who I wanted to see and why she said well if you want the best person here then you should see Dr xxxxxx. I thought that was interesting but I agreed. Now I took a different approach here. I made the appointment for myself. So I mentioned I wanted to try clomid and he wasn't keen on me doind that. Partly cause of my age and he saw that my results with Test Enan were quite good. So then I mentioned my son. That he really wasn't hitting puberty. He was quite heavy and that we recently tested him and his T was quite low. He said he was a potential candidate but also thought my son was a bit young. He said he would see him and we scheduled an appointment right after his 18th birthday. He had my son get another blood panel and his T was even lower. At the appointment he noticed my son had no facial hair and of course was concerned about his weight. He wanted to take the approach the endo did and get his weight down first and see if there was any change. I pushed him. He said I see you want your son to do this but let me ask him. My son said yes he would like to try it and see if it helped. BTW (side note), only my wife knew I did T so before this appointment I sat with my kids and explained what I did and why. So my son was prescribed 25mg per day. He was on it for 3 1/2 months. In one month he grew a full beard, grew 1.5 inches, was more energetic and more helpful around the house with chores. The uro ordered a second panel and his levels were quite high. So he asked him to stop. After one month his levels dropped in half. The uro was quite surprised by his results. So beginning of March we will test again. He said he has seen this before although not common where the clomid kick starts and then stays at a decent level. Another interesting result of him going on the clomid is his headaches/migraines have stopped. He recently had a couple so I'm not sure if his levels are dropping further.

At my sons last appointment with the uro I asked if I can give this a shot. I developed quite late like my son and we have the same genetics so he agreed to start me on it. I'm not sure I agree on the protocol. He said for me to maintain my T injections for a month or more while taking the clomid. But I have learned to use my own judgement along with the advice on this site. BTW my LH was just about zero before I started. Now I know everyone here says you can't take both and expect to see any results. But I will wait like he said and test again in 1 month. He said I eventually should wean off the T and when I am fully off see what happens to my levels. Any advice on how to wean off or should I just stop?

I will update everyone on with my sons labs and my labs in March. Oh and to answer some of your questions. My son never had bad acne so no accutane. Yes he is a classic millennial and he is obese. BTW his Iron was a little low because he rarely eats red meat or veggies. So I had him on medium level iron pills and his levels are good now. I really hope this helps anyone else who is younger and wonders if this is a possible choice.
