low morning cortisol causing problems ???

as I stated in my previous threads im dealing with testicle shrinkage/genital shrinkage majorly. I thought that test and e2 were the main culprit with my problems, highly suspect high e2 via hcg prior and that 400mg test shot. but I was wondering if my HPA isnt working optimal would that affect my libido, genitals, and etc.

I noticed both on blood cortisol and saliva 24hr cortisol my morning levels are low
blood cortisol 5(7-25)
saliva cortisol 10(13-24)

I was wondering would it cause more harm to start a clomid restart to increase testicle size and function or should I focus on hpa axis first and the shrinkage will subside. or would using androgel as a bandaid while addressing adrenals be possible as well.
I know stress and depression doesnt work in favor of the hpa axis , I try to stay calm but it kinda hard when you see your genitals shrink daily.

i would try to isolate the source of the stress and then work to alleviate it
increasing testosterone when underlying adrenal issues is not a good methodology. i would have to look at the whole case in order to determine what the pathology is. People will not reveal the whole story and when I get them one on one the truth will be revealed. Shooting hormones at things is not going resolved the issue long term with out finding what it is.
 
the majority of this stress comes from being 25 soon to be 26 and not able to enjoy my 20s, breaking up with my girlfriend due to this. lack of confidence and self esteem that I will never have a functional relationship because of my hormonal imbalances. feeling asexual, walking on eggshells in a sex driven world.

Unfortunately I do not have the time or means to go into full analysis of your case. As previous mentioned, I am sure there are alot of facts that are missing to the puzzle. This is why it takes a good hour to deal with each drs patient to collect data and then start to isolate where problem lies. If you like to go further pm me.
