Hello all,
I have been on TRT for 2.5 years. My wife and I are trying to conceive so I started a restart protocol one month ago. I started another thread with more detail that can be found here:
Fertility help
I have since lowered my clomid dose to 25mg/day and ceased the HCG therapy. I am feeling better.
Here are two blood test results. The first was ordered by my doctor. The second is a test I ordered on my own through discounted labs. As you can see my doctor is not very thorough with getting a full picture on levels ESPECIALLY for fertility(no LH, FSH, SHBG, sensitive E2). So I included some more tests on my own. These tests were taken only a day apart.
I was pleasantly surprised to see decent numbers after one month. But before I say I am a clomid unicorn, I do feel much better on TRT. My current libido is gone and erections are difficult without cialis. I’ve gained a significant amount of body fat specifically in my abdomen and hips. Are those symptoms normal with clomid despite adequate levels?
Also, should I worry about Prolactin levels on higher range? I’ve read that higher FSH levels actually point to inadequate sperm production. I had a sperm analysis done 4 weeks ago and my count was 22 million. I’m expecting an increase in Sperm count after continued clomid treatment.
Do you all have any input or recommendations?

After that I would think you would probably go back on trt?
