[QUOTE="DB32, post: 112143, member: 17419"] Thanks for sharing re clomid, given my high SHBG I am not sure if it's the right move but the science behind clomid tells me that it will at least get my Total test into a decent range. How did you feel on the HCG mono therapy? I know you mentioned you didn't have cortisol tested but did you feel that your cortisol was lower/higher in comparison to being on TRT ? I know blood tests are more definitive in assessing exact numbers for cortisol but I usually find that when cortisol is low or mid range I can usually feel the symptoms which then prompts me to get bloods done. Off Testosterone my levels are upper quartile (just )in the AM and on test the result was around mid range and I was very symptomatic especially palpitations and hypoglycaemia (which are the two most frustrating symptoms ) not to mention the dizziness and lethargy. What methods are you using to naturally get cortisol levels up? I agree - replacement is a last resort, I was literally unable to function on cort replacement and couldn't even walk to my local shop without shaking, palpitations,sweating and hypoglycaemia.I remember having to stress dose just to have a conversation with a family member, was just awful. I can now train 6 days a week and work a very stressful job and lead a very normal life.The missing piece of the puzzle for me is estosterone, I have lost muscle and just feel pretty un-masculine which really sucks.I feel like I have to put all of my "normal life sub optimal health" on Red and hope that the gamble to optimise testosterone pays off...else I could end up completely back in adrenal pergatory 👍 [/QUOTE]
