Greetings. I am 34 year old guy with low T. It was only 2.5 years back i discovered that i had hypogonadism. Have been experiencing severe ED and been diagnosed with Venous leakage. On 2nd March 2012 i had my first shot of Testosterone Undecanoate (1000mg). Prior to starting HRT, my T levels were
Doctor did not bother to check for LH ,FSH. However, two years earlier i had my LH and FSh numbers taken and i faintly remember them to be on lower end of normal range. Also i had my semen analyzed many times before and i was told that i am infertile. Had mostly low motility sperms.
Since starting HRT i had five shots of Testosterone Undecanoate. Have not done any blood tests till now. My next shot is on 8 April 2013. I will have my blood work done just before receiving the injection.
Thinking of Stopping HRT once T levels have gone past 700 ng/ml. Also would use clomid 25mg/day to restart my T production.
My Questions :
1 Do i need to taper off T shots once i have reached the right levels ? If yes, then how.
2 Can i use clomid along with HRT or should i use it after tapering off of T replacement ?
3 What amount of clomid should i use and how do i taper off ?
Since i getting high amount of Testosterone in my shots, my estradiol levels must be going up also, as i am not experiencing much improvement ever after a year. If my lab work show high estradiol, how do i use arimidex to control it ?.
After being on trt for 1 year, results are not satisfactory. Thinking of quitting TRT and going on clomid. Had about 6 shots of Testosterone undecanoate till now. Just how do i get of TU and start clomid ?
Injecting 4 ml 1000mg of testosterone undecanoate every 90 days. Yes KSman, i did read what u suggested. Also been through other posts on tapering on clomid and Testosterone, but dont seem to understand much. I just dont know what course of action i should take. As usual as is with docs, mine turned out to be an a-hole. He told me 384 is normal and i should stop taking shots. If things have not improved then the problem certainly would be in my mind.
Here is what i have been thinking : -
1 Since i had 6 shots at 90 days interval, i am thinking of reducing the time to 70 days between each shot.
2 My sixth shot was on 8th April. Next shot on 07/07/2013 (90 days interval) or 17/06/2013 ( 70 days between shots )
3.I have four ampoules of 4 ml 1000 mg TU with me. Do i keep reducing the amount by 1 ml during the next shot and thereafter ?
4 I want to switch to clomid with 1 mg anastrazole/week and try it short term. At what dose do i start and exactly how do i get off it ?
