Clomid is causing high T–>E2 inside the testes and anastrozole as a competitive drug cannot work inside the testes. You really need to drop Clomid and self-inject T. Clomid is not working for you.
Please post history of [not]using iodized salt and/or vitamins listing 150mcg iodine.
Check oral body temps as per below. Check wife’s too.
Muscle soreness?
Persistent low level cough?
Probably side effect of the statin drug, most do not have such problems. When problem occurs, it is a statin drug induced CoQ10 deficiency.
Foot/leg cramps? Magnesium deficiency. See “ZMA” in this site’s Biotest store.
HDL:
- high potency B-complex multi-vit with trace elements including 150mcg iodine AND 150-200 mcg selenium, OK if lists iron.
- EFA’s: fish oil, nuts, flax seed oil/meal - see Biotest flameout
- Antioxidants: Vit-C 1000-2000mg, Natural source Vit-E
- CoQ10 - get the ubiquinol type, note the spelling 50mg
- Vit-D3 5000iu, tiny oil filled gel caps, 25,000iu first 5 days then 5,000iu
Iron:
- Ferritin should be ~80 or more to support T4–>T3 conversion
- Men normally do not need iron. Low iron status is a sign of GI blood loss and you should have an occult blood test and be up to date with colonoscopy exams.

Evaluate your overall thyroid function by checking oral body temperatures as per the thyroid basics sticky. Thyroid hormone fT3 is what gets the job done and it regulates mitochondrial activity, the source of ATP which is the universal currency of cellular energy. This is part of the body’s temperature control loop. This can get messed up if you are iodine deficient. In many countries, you need to be using iodized salt. Other countries add iodine to dairy or bread.

I can be a bit abrupt in my replies and recommendations. I have a lot of ground to cover as this forum has become much more active in the last two years. I can’t follow threads that go deep over time. You need to respond to all of my points and requests as soon as possible before you fall off of my radar. The worse problems are guys who ignore issues re thyroid, body temperatures, history of iodized salt. Please do not piss people off saying that lab results are normal, we need lab number and ranges. a
The value that you get out of this process and forum depends on your effort and performance. The bulk of your learning is reading/studying the suggested stickies.
