Some background, I'm 26, 235lbs, and have been struggling with hormones since the beginning of college it seems. I know I'm secondary hypogonadic, but I have concerns about my thyroid as well and just wanted to get some advice. I will post the last three bloodworks I've taken below. I really want to try a clomid restart before committing to a lifetime of TRT. Here are the bloods:
2/13:
TSH 2.60
TESTOSTERONE, TOTAL, LC/MS/MS 240 Range: 250-1100 ng/dL
TESTOSTERONE, FREE 44.1 Range: 46.0-224.0 pg/mL
TESTOSTERONE,BIOAVAILABLE 102.2 Range: 110.0-575.0 ng/dL
SEX HORMONE BINDING GLOBULIN 18 Range: 10-50 nmol/L
4/13:
LH 1.5
FSH 2.6
Testosterone Total 416
Prolactin 3.7
2/14:
Testosterone, Serum 311 Low
Free Testosterone(Direct) 8.2 Low
T4,Free(Direct) 1.31 ng/dL 0.82 - 1.77 01
TSH 1.850 uIU/mL 0.450 - 4.500 01
LH 2.7 mIU/mL 1.7 - 8.6 01
Estradiol 30.6 pg/mL 7.6 - 42.6 01
Prostate Specific Ag, Serum 0.6 ng/mL 0.0 - 4.0 01
Insulin-Like Growth Factor I 192 ng/mL 98 - 282 02
T3 Uptake 27 % 24 - 39 01
So, I think I'm going to do:
25mg ED Clomid 3 weeks
25mg EOD Clomid 2 weeks
25mg 2x week Clomid 2 weeks
Does this schedule seem optimal or do changes need to be made? After I'm off the Clomid for 3-4 weeks, I'm going to do comprehensive bloodwork, namely:
Total test
Free test
Estradiol
LH
FSH
TSH
Total T4
Free T4
Total T3
Free T3
...those are big ones anyway. Do I need to add anything to that list?
Does this help give some insight into what may be going on or should I continue with the clomid for a couple months, and get the new bloods?
Thanks and I really appreciate any responses.
