Hello,
I had originally posted to this forum regarding having Low T for my age (23).
I was placed on Clomid 25mg eod and was forced to stop due to vision side effects and headaches. I did feel much better though despite these side effects.
My urologist has given me a range of options of how I would want to proceed for treatment, and I just wanted to get personal opinions of any of the options listed below by people who have used them.
Preserving fertility is a goal at this point due to my age, my wife does want kids in the future.
Pre-clomid labs (start of October)
TSH - 0.98 0.40-4.50 mIU/L
T4, FREE - 1.3 0.8-1.8 ng/dL
FSH - 7.2 1.6-8.0 mIU/mL
LH - 3.4 1.5-9.3 mIU/mL
PROLACTIN - 9.1 2.0-18.0 ng/mL
TEST TOTAL - 261 250-827 ng/
ESTRADIOL - 26 < OR = 39 pg/mL
SHBG - 26 10-50 nmol/L
Cortisol: 4.5 (3-17)
Prolactin 9.1 (2-18)
Pre-clomid labs late october:
FSH: 5 (1.5-12.4)
LH: 1.9 (1.2-8.6)
Total T: 414 (300-1080)
SHBG: 36.4 (16.5-55.9)
Calc Free T: 79.7 pg/ml (47-244)
No post labs available yet.
The options I was given were:
- Tamoxifen
- HCG Monotherapy
- Natesto nasal spray
- Testosterone injections (was recommended to not take this option if fertility is a concern).
I look forward to hearing back from anyone who has tried the options listed above. The Natesto looks very interesting, sort of like a androgel but in the nose, but the twice to three times a day use would grow tiring I’m guessing.
