please advise on clomid hcg trt plan
I have a friend ("Jim") with low T that is concerned about the recent revelations of nsa internet snooping so asked me to post on his behalf.
Please comment on his plan of action or anything else below.
Last month Jim (43 y.o., 35% BF , (14% prior to low t problems)) received the following LC/MS/MS blood test results:
Jim
Total Test 212 ng/dL
FSH 2.8 mIU/mL
LH 3.0 mIU/mL
TSH, 3rd Gen 1.51 mIU/mL
Glucose 106 mg/dL
Cholesterol,Total 260
Triglycerides 234
LDL Cholesterol 173
CHOL/HDLC Ratio 6.5
nonHDL Cholesterol 220
Hemoglobin Alc 5.8
Endnote- Platelet estimation adequate; unable to report due to significant platelet clumping."Platelets clumped, appear adequate"
Jim wants to have more children. He has been taking 50 mg clomid ED since geting the test results (about a month ago). After a week to ten days some joint pain that had been bothering him disappeared. Is this dose too big? I've read 25 mg E3D is ideal, but I think considering the half life and I just have 50 mg capsules, I think this is impossible to achieve. Would 50 mg every third day be esides, this guy went from 200 to 700 in 6 months at 50 mg daily healthboards.com/boards/mens-health/746451-clomid-low-t.html
another guy on the same page did 25 mg (half a pill) 2 or 3 times per week. The Clomid raised his total T from around 300 to around 800
Please advise on dose.
He has ordered HCG.I've read studies (I cant find now) that say 250iu every three days is sufficient, any more is a waste.
1. Will clomid raise testosterone levels substantially without ever doing trt? How about in conjunction with HCG? Ive read studies that show as long as the balls are working (adequate LH levels), and it isnt pituitary, Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) will help.
2. If Jim's Dr refuses to prescibe HCG, and Jim were to order it online to take during his testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), would his sperm levels still rise? Or do sperm levels have to be high to begin with and Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) just maintains them during trt?
3. Jim also has access to nolvadex, would it help in any way to get his sperm count up and if so how? and at what dose?
Jim has researched the above questions and thinks he has a good grasp on what he needs to do (clomid and hcg
