on hrt hcg or,clomid

and Clomid stimulates the pituitary to produce LH. whats the difference?

You pituitary gland is not going to produce lh as long as you have more exogenous testosterone in your system then your body normally produces. Its just the way the negative feedback loop works. That's why you start to administer clomid and nolvadex when your exogenous T has almost totally left the system.

Clomid also cause FSH to rise while HCG doesnt making it very useful

I see, so I either need to reduce/stop my test injections if I use Clomid or I can use hcg and stay on my injections of test, correct?

THANKS for all the info guys really really appreciate it!

If you want fsh levels to rise administering hmg is another option. To the op's original post 500 ng/dl should be a high enough level to maintain sexual function. Have you ran labs to check your E levels ensuring they are within range?

yes, I did. I run prescription Anaztrozle, also bromocriptene as I have prolactin issues due to benign small growth on pituatary. all levels are normal while on meds. that's why I'm stumped on the whole lack of desire issues. where is should I look for? what suggestions might I bring up to the Dr?

What were your estrogen levels last time you ran them?

Edstrodiol 26, prolactin 8. I'm sure the Dr. will want a blood test next week, so we shall see what the current levels are but, I can tell if I overdue it on the anti-e's and I have to back down the dosage. I"m also paying for a IGF-1 test because I'm gonna start peps research. Why the Dr. never did a full pituitary assement considering the Microadenoma I have is unknown. Again this is the 3rd Endo I've seen in 5+ years, so I will be asking this question too.

Keep in mind depending on how you are dosing your testosterone your levels could be effected

they have me on 300mg every 14 days, so I shoot 1/2 once a week. I didn't like how i felt doing 300mg at one time.
