Go to a different doctor asap. Those are extremely low. Mine were like 290 and 350 and I got put on TRT for life. Make sure the test is taken at 8 am when your levels are highest. Also you need to get it rechecked in a few weeks just to be sure.


You can try clomid or hcg to restart it, but if it doesn’t go up get on test cypionate injections. Also go to an endocrinologist that specializes in hormone stuff. Most GPs and endocrinologists aren’t that knowledgeable about TRT so you gotta find a good one. Your test level is DEFINITELY low enough to need TRT though or clomid at least to try to restart it with drugs first.

I was in your range, i have always had problems sleeping and IBS made me eat really really clean. Not good for test levels... i think I was 298 or something but i had no issue with bonars. Just brain fog and energy. Went to an endo for something unrelated and saw how low my levels were. They said I was normal. Went to TRT clinic, now im on that and HCG since wife wants a child. never felt better. Crushing the gym, always hungry, sleep has gotten better, think much more clearly.

Tbh ill probably keep the HCG in because it makes my balls hyooge.

Edit: also suggest 12.5mg per day first week then scale back to 6.25 ED or EOD. Real enclo thats not just Clomid/clomiphine labled as Enclomiphine is really strong. DO not try clomid/clomiphine as a monotherapy. Enclo is Clomid without the zuclomiphine isomer that has all the bad sides.

Ive read with enclo the effects dissipate after awhile and you eventually just get on trt... so I just got on trt.

Gotta be careful with even trt and make sure you get prescribed anti estrogen too. And get at least every 6 mo bloods to check level and prostate markers.

Enclomifine has less emotional sides than clomid, however it still has the same issue which is that is raises SHBG. So while your TOTAL test will go up, your free test will likely stay the same or even drop. There are some small benefits to have higher total test, but Free test is overall more important to well being and things like sex drive and recovery. So IMO clomid/enclomid is not a good option. If you dont want to do TRT then the 2nd best choice is HCG/HMG along with a very low dose AI a couple times a week. And with HCG/HMG you need to stop every couple months for a couple weeks, you become desensitized to it.

Enclo/Clomid are not long term solutions at all. HCG can be if it is cycled. Most effective long term solution is TRT with cycled HCG.

Most guys on TRT doses (150mg/week or less) do NOT need any AI or SERM. Only side is that your balls shrink, which can be somewhat reversed by occasionally using HCG. You should never use AI or SERMS long term, so if your estrogen is consistently very high you need to lower the TRT dosage. Also, your cholesterol may go out of whack on TRT, which may require a low dose statin.
