New to the forum but have been lurking for a while. I’m looking for advice.
I had low T so started taking Clomid because I did not want to risk fertility. Testosterone rose to the 400 range, at that point I did a semen analysis that came back 0.
I’ve been to multiple doctors that last few years treating mostly Thyroid. I do feel a lot better now than a few years ago with the Thyroid medication but I’m still lacking energy, libido… My blood work is listed below. I’m trying to get advice. I live 3-4 hours from Devry, they seem to be highly recommended on this site.
My 1st priority is fertility as I would like to have kids but I also want to improve libido. Fertility doctors want to do a MESA / TESE to cut open the testicle and try to retrieve sperm but I’m trying to hold off. Not sure if I should try TRT, HCG…? Sorry for all the lab work, like I said this has been going on for a while. I can’t remember what I was taking during each blood work. Typically it would have been nothing or Clomid. The most recent labs were Clomid & HCG. Have not tried TRT.
