Symptoms - No libido, terrible gains, no morning wood, gyno (arimidex prescribed), poor mood
I am attempting to restart my natural testosterone. I was diagnosed with secondary hypogonadism due to having low LH and FSH. I have both clomid and HCG and am debating what protocol to use. I have seen where people have used just clomid and were able to restart within about 6 weeks at 12.5 mg per day but at the same time I am afraid to lose my libido because I have heard bad things about clomids effects on libido and mood.
At the same time I have read that HCG can bring back ones libido and well being but at the same time ones natural LH and FSH levels would drop. Based on this forum it seems best to go with 250iu EOD.
In conclusion (based on my understanding) Clomid works on the pituitary gland while HCG does its work in the testes. I was wondering if it would make sense to take a cycle of one then go on to take a cycle of the other in order to hit both spots in the end. I also have a prescription of 1mg Arimidex too that would help with estrogen. I feel as if I am leaning towards the HCG because I have heard better things about it but I want to do what is best for the long run.
I was curious what would work best for someone as young as me that has been having symptoms for about a year.
Also curious about protocols that have worked.
