[QUOTE="AlcahueteJ, post: 41899, member: 12816"] I met with the endocrinologist today. With an increase in total testosterone, and a high SHBG and low estrogen number, he asked about my diet. He suggested I start eating more, as having low body fat can cause both of these numbers to skew high/low. This could allow my free T to increase, along with my estrogen, both of which will help increase my libido and help me feel better. He's keeping me on a 3x/week Clomid dose, and I have a follow-up in three months. He said it's up to me if I want to eat more, and the it's choice between being lower body fat/thin, and possibly having an increased free T/estrogen number which will help me feel better. I am quite lean, and have been for awhile now. This is definitely not where I sit naturally either, and it is entirely possibly a restrictive diet is still causing issues. My gut instinct at this point is to slowly raise calories/gain weight and see how I feel. I was suspicious this was the cause from the beginning, and questioned it six months ago. The other option would be to get a second opinion, but at this point my other option would be injections. I don't want to move to injections if a simple adjustment of diet could boost free T at this point. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
