[QUOTE="AlcahueteJ, post: 34578, member: 12816"] Have you went to a doctor yet? Just an update since I've had my appointment. I'm having an MRI of my pituitary done to make sure there isn't a tumor, and I had additional blood work done (my initial blood work is posted above). Pending the outcome of the MRI, I am meeting with the endo again in a week and a half. Clomid is being recommended, and he said he's had success with this in other patients, so I could try this first. Especially considering I'm young male seeking to maintain fertility. However, my first concern is to simply feel better and regain my sex drive. I'm being given the option though of injections (self-administered), patches/gel, or Clomid. The choice is mine. Here is the new blood work WBC: 4.5 K/uL (range 4.0 - 10.0) RBC: 4.34 m/uL(range 4.6 - 6.1) Hgb: 13.4 g/dL (range 13.7 - 17.5) Hct: 40.7 % (range 40 - 51) MCV: 94 fL (range 82 - 98) MCH: 30.9 pg (range 26 - 32) MCHC: 32.9 g/dL (range 32 - 37) RDW: 13.0 % (range 10.5 - 15.5) RDWSD: 44.6 fL (range 35.1 - 46.3) Plt Ct: 176 k/uL (range 150 - 400) Iron: 90 ug/dL (range 45 - 160) calTIBC: 308 ug/dL (range 260 - 470) Ferritn: 53 ng/mL (range 30 - 400) TRF: 237 mg/dL (range 200 - 360) TSH: 1.3 uIU/mL (range 0.27 - 4.2) Free T4: 1.0 ng/dL (range 0.93 - 1.7) Insulin-like Growth Factor-1: PND Studies seem promising for Clomid, but anecdotally I haven't seen much that indicates Clomid can improve symptoms. Recommendations? Give Clomid a shot? If so, how long? And if it works, how long do you stay on it? And are there any studies indicating testosterone levels remain high/symptoms are relieved long term after stopping Clomid? Thank you in advance! [/QUOTE]
