[QUOTE="Steelballs, post: 95655, member: 3536"] 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.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]4595[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]4596[/ATTACH] At my sons last appointment with the uro I asked if I can give this a shot.
