Hello,
I'm brand new to the forum. I just spent the past few hours taking in all of the great info on here. Thank you all.
Has anyone had success treating their secondary hypogonadism with clomid only? I'll post my labs below, but directly following is a basic summary of my TRT experience so far. Btw, I'm 45 years old, 5"10, 180lbs, I eat well, and I weight train 3 days per week.
I asked my PCP if I could have have my T levels checked because I was grouchy, miserable, lacking energy, steadily sliding down the libido scale, my progress in the gym has halted, and I'm generally just in a fog. I was referred to an endocrinologist and he prescribed 25mg clomid per day. I've been taking it for about 7 weeks. All of my symptoms persist and I honestly feel no better all, maybe even a little worse. I explained this to my doctor. He said he was willing to put me on Test injections or he could keep me on the clomid and add Anastrozole. We did not get into dosage or frequency or anything like that, yet. I told him I needed a few days to do some research and think about it.
So...what would you guys do? My goal is to eliminate (or as close as possible) all of the crappy symptoms I have. I just want to feel good. Also, in case it figures into your advice - I'm not concerned about my sperm count.
Thanks!
