Hey Guys,
I'm a 45 year old healthy male , but about 3 years ago I had a bout with Low-T. At the time I was working out seriously 5 days a week, eating right and making nice gains in the gym.(285 bench and 365 squat) But out of nowhere I began to feel very lethargic throughout the day, and my mental focus was horrific. I had little to no energy and felt exhausted in my home office daily. I started to lose strength gains at the gym and my BF increased. I knew something was amiss, so I scheduled an appt w/ my Dr. and she did some BW and my T-Levels came back at 190. She referred me to an Endo and he explained to me what my options were:
1. Androgel type medicine( Creams and Gels)
2. Test E or C injections
3. Clomid
He basically told me the gels and creams were popular but had poor results for the most part. Test injections had a higher success rate but this would be a MAJOR commitment. Clomid was a way in which I could "reboot" my system/body into producing test again at normal levels, and all it would take is doing 3 cycles(20days on 10 days off). No needles, vials or creams just a small 50 mg pill taken once a day. After 3 months if my levels didn't come back to normal range, we would discuss Test injections. Luckily for me after 3 mths of Clomid, my Test Levels came back at 550+ and I got my life back! The quality of my life and well being were back to normal and then some.
The reason for this post is because I'm reading a lot about people here rushing into TRT. TRT is pinning test for the rest of your natural life. For some it can be no problem and effective, but for others it can be an emotional rollercoaster. Clomid is super simple and effective, and is quickly becoming a 1st choice recommendation from a lot of Endo's. If you suffer from Low-T don't just get 1 Endo's opinion......this is your body and your future health and well being that are on the line here! See at least a couple of Endo's and then weigh your options. Remember pinning Test is a WEEKLY LIFE LONG COMMITMENT to NEEDLES, VIALS, OFFICE VISITS, and POSSIBLY MORE.
I'm attaching an extremely informative link about Clomid for Low-T from an Endocrinologist. I hope it can be of help to anyone with Low-T or is at a crossroads for treatment.
