Thank you for your thoughtful response. Although it’s been many years, I do remember all of the pain that comes with dating. I think you're right that I need to focus on getting back to casual fun. All in all life does seem incomplete without the struggle of dating though. I also have some...

What problems would I have other than fertility issues? I figured if I take HCG with testosterone it would improve my symptoms better without libido suppression. I also don't see what the point of fertility is if I’m not in good enough health to develop a healthy relationship. My ex said that...

I take 100mg before the gym and 10mg of the nasal gel twice a day. I know I was advised to split it up more by forum members, but I want to stay close to what the prescriber recommended which is that the 50mg enclomiphene is to keep the levels good throughout the day but the testosterone is for...

I like them. I prefer the nasal gel though because you have to leave them in your mouth for a while. Overall, I think injections have an appeal though. There is an appeal to preserving fertility and avoiding suppression, but with the short-acting medications I get this little boost that’s over...

Yeah it sounds like Striant is special and not a simple lozenge/troche.

Wow I’m starting to feel really good about the money now! I was paying like 200 for monthly 25mg of enclomiphene. Now, I’m getting 50mg and what sounds like a great supply of supplemental testosterone. I’m happy with the new clinic.

Will do! Thanks for all the help. I had trouble finding anything about the empower troches, but I didn’t think of searching “buccal troche”- I think I searched “empower troche”.

This is like music to my ears. It was so disheartening how much I had to spend for even once daily at the 100mg dosage. How does the intranasal dosage compare to buccal? I get the feeling I might not need the full 20mg intranasally, too?

The instruction is to take one before exercise or sex. I have the same instruction for nasal gel (20mg). I just didn’t mention the nasal gel because I found plenty of information about it. They said if I don’t use them more than twice daily, then it shouldn’t suppress. They also said these are...

Thanks, tareload. I’m really excited to try it. I also increased the dosage of enclomiphene from 25mg to 50mg which I didn’t even think was a thing. So, hopefully this can make me feel my age again! (I’m in my thirties.)

Wow thank you for your opinion. I’m single and not dating, but I dream of finding someone and starting a family someday. It’s hard to get your personal life together while dealing with hypogonadism though. So, what you’re saying seems to really apply to my situation. The sad reality is that I...

Oh I misunderstood. I guess I figured this guy has treated hundreds if not thousands of patients, so they must know what they’re doing. I was hoping the enclomiphene would raise my trough level and the troches would help me perform when I really needed a boost. I was at like 290 TT before...

Oh also the idea of enclomiphene is preserve fertility, but it alone didn’t fix the problem so I’m supplementing testosterone with short acting formulations.

You’re right. I need to trust the doctor. Thanks for pointing out my mistake. I was just thinking back to what other doctors told me about troches, but I need to listen to my doctor about the troches they’re giving me. Sorry for my mistake.

I was just prescribed 100mg testosterone troches from Empower. The doctor said to just chew on them and hold the medicine under my tongue. Does anyone have any experience with these? Should I really chew on it? Does putting between your lip and gums work better? The prescription is part of a...
