Hello, I'm really hoping you can help me out because I've been trying to sort this testosterone issue out for over a year now and would love any advice you can give me.
I was diagnosed with testosterone levels of 160 ng/dL in November of 2015. I got put on androgel but felt terrible after a couple months and got off it, which dropped my T levels to 135 ng/dL. Then after several months last summer I started Clomid at 50mg. My estrogen going up seemed to cause me a ton of mood swings and such but I also saw rapid testosterone growth in the first 5 weeks, up 500 points to 635 ng/dL. I got my dose halved to 25mg due to my discomfort and my progress slowed down. My anxiety was still getting worse so in September I got put on a low dose of anastrozole and that calmed me down a ton(though my doctor didn't believe it was the estrogen and in my head). The doctor said he was confident I would be better by December 2016. However I didn't have my bloodwork again until January 5th and my levels were only 835 ng/dL at that time. I don't know why things slowed down and my doctor doesn't know what to do from here, but you seem really knowledgeable so I was wondering if you could tell me what I need to check for or do at this point. Anything you can tell me I'll greatly appreciate. Thanks for reading.
