Hi,
I had low T, started TRT but then stopped it and wanted to give a shot to clomid as I was very concerned with fertility. I have secondary hyogonadism and took accutane like 10 years ago (not sure if they are related)
Before I started with clomid and after several weeks without TRT (so my natural state), this is what I got.
Total T: 95
Free T: Very Low too
LH: almost nonexistent
FSH: very low
7 weeks after I started with clomid 50mg a day, I tested semen and blood test:
Semen: Real Bad (but I heard sperm takes 74 days to be produced, so at this point it is probably incorrect to assume that clomid has not worked as I am just 7 weeks in)
Total T: 697 Range: 264 - 916 so OK
Free T: 27 Range 8.7 - 25 so High
LH: 10.4 Range 1.7 - 8.6 so High
FSH: 7.5 Range 1.5 12.4 so OK
Energy: slightly better but not nearly as good as I was with TRT
Libido: non-existent.
Sensitive E2: Waiting for the results.
So,all in all, the results seemed to indicate that the clomid is indeed working, but given I still have no libido, I am screwed up. I decided to change my dose to 25mg EOD to see if maybe my libido improves, but if it does not work, I will switch to HCG monotherapy. If my symptoms still don't improve, will switch to the trifecta TRT + HCG + Arimidex.
Please help me, what do you guys think? do you think my strategy is good? - Please give me inputs/advice.
