[QUOTE="DragonBits, post: 219070, member: 18023"] As others pointed out many on Clomid are disappointed with libido. I don't think the libido aspect of clomid has ever been studied, but it makes sense that this might happen. [B]Clomid works by blocking estrogent senors in the body, however, estradiol in men is essential for modulating libido and erectile function[/B]. So my guess is that this is the reason blocking estrogen receptors while raising testosterone doesn't nothing or even hurts libido. But you should get more energy and be able to grow muscle. Even though your estrogen may be high when using clomid, your body cannot sense this. In your case, HCG should work, though many have mixed reactions to HCG. Understandable, as first you need to have secondary hypogonadism for it to work at all, then there a numerous comments about different brands working differently. You have relatively high SHBG, I would think either EOD or once weekly testosterone cypionate should work well, and it's usually cheap enough. For those with low shbg, it seems more frequent injections of smaller amounts works better. I am 69 and have used testosterone esters, clomid, hcg and creams, but only used clomid for 3 or so months to improve fertility, I don't think it helped libido, but I wasn't focusing on that aspect at the time. Sleep is a whole other subject, it's hard to say how sleep will be affected by the hormones we have discussed. Sleep apnea is often made worse when raising testosterone, but I don't have that problem so no experience with that. [/QUOTE]
