Hi Dylan,
I am in my twenties and am currently seeing a trained endo. I used to be a healthy, sporty, energetic person (safe to say T was normal) until this...Due to a period of depression in 2015, I started eating unhealthily and got really obese with a BMI of 36. I gained about 90lbs within 6 months and my energy slowly decreased. By June 2016 my T came back at 354ng/dl, LH at 6 and FSH at 3, estrogen at 102(<190) and I had noticed my balls were shrunken. I had literally zero motivation to exercise and I definitely needed intervention to gain the energy I needed to help me lose weight. I was headed towards pre-diabetes and also developed a non-alcoholic fatty liver with raised ALT (86/40) (I don't drink). I really felt like shit every day but I ignored the problem for a further year until June 2017 when I finally saw a good endo who put me on a low dose 8% T cream (1 pump daily for 3 months) so I could get a lever to raise my energy levels and start exercising. It worked, and 3 months down the line with the cream, I had lost 20 lbs and was exercising 30 mins every day with cardio. So now, at the 3 month mark, my T is at 450ng/dl, estrogen at 122(<190), and she stops the T cream and gives me a 1 month trial of clomid at 25mg daily only. Do you think this is the right treatment for someone like me, who is young and has never been abusing or using steroids? Can the clomid reverse the shrunken testes and how long will the Clomid take until I see results?
If you could give me any tips, I would be forever grateful. My health in these past few years have caused me nothing but misery.
Thank you.
