[QUOTE="azwildcats, post: 77185, member: 16197"] I'm 34, 6', and 200lbs around 25% body fat. I've dealt with depression, inability to gain muscle mass and lose body fat regardless of diet and exercise my entire life. In fact, any type of exercise puts me in a catabolic state where I actually lose lean body mass. Below are my baseline labs, and as expected my T is extremely low for my age, well any age actually at 119. I have been working with a urologist and have had both a prostate exam, and a pituitary MRI, both of which have come back perfect. Before starting TRT injections, we are trying clomid to hopefully kick start my system. I have been on 25mg of clomid EOD for 6 weeks. After 10 days, my T increased to 426, and my free T increased to 13. Unfortunately we didn't test any other levels. After 6 weeks I'm feeling slightly better, however far from good. I've started experiencing pretty bad night sweats, sometimes they're so bad I think I may have peed the bed...thankfully I haven't :). My Dr. had planned on running on clomid until the fall then retest labs, but I don't think I can wait that long. Based on the labs, and brief narrative, what future options should I consider? Thanks for your time and insight. Baseline Labs: Glucose, Serum 88 mg/dL 65 - 99 BUN 20 mg/dL 6 - 20 Creatinine, Serum 1.15 mg/dL 0.76 - 1.27 eGFR If NonAfricn Am 83 mL/min/1.73 >59 eGFR If Africn Am 95 mL/min/1.73 >59 BUN/Creatinine Ratio 17 9 - 20 Sodium, Serum 144 mmol/L 134 - 144 Potassium, Serum 5.2 mmol/L 3.5 - 5.2 Chloride, Serum 103 mmol/L 96 - 106 Carbon Dioxide, Total 23 mmol/L 18 - 29 Calcium, Serum 9.8 mg/dL 8.7 - 10.2 Protein, Total, Serum 7.1 g/dL 6.0 - 8.5 Albumin, Serum 4.9 g/dL 3.5 - 5.5 Globulin, Total 2.2 g/dL 1.5 - 4.5 A/G Ratio 2.2 1.2 - 2.2 Bilirubin, Total 0.5 mg/dL 0.0 - 1.2 Alkaline Phosphatase, S 124 High IU/L 39 - 117 AST (SGOT) 20 IU/L 0 - 40 ALT (SGPT) 20 IU/L 0 - 44 Testosterone, Serum 119 Low ng/dL 348 - 1197 Free Testosterone(Direct) 5.5 Low pg/mL 8.7 - 25.1 LH 1.2 Low mIU/mL 1.7 - 8.6 FSH 1.5 mIU/mL 1.5 - 12.4 Hemoglobin 17.1 g/dL 12.6 - 17.7 Hematocrit 51.3 High % 37.5 - 51.0 TSH 1.480 uIU/mL 0.450 - 4.500 Prolactin 7.3 ng/mL 4.0 - 15.2 Estradiol 12.6 pg/mL 7.6 - 42.6 Prostate Specific Ag, Serum 0.6 ng/mL 0.0 - 4.0 [/QUOTE]
