Attempting restart 1+ year after cycle. HCG yes or no?

[Ymcmb]

Thanks for the reply, that is along the lines what I was thinking. So basically, the balls are working 100% or not at all? Theres no possibility of them working at half capacity kind of thing that hcg would help to kickstart them?

I have already got some hcg and some clomid on the way. I will attempt clomid only restart, if you think that is best. Will save thee hcg.

I will update this with blood tests halfway through my clomid therapy, then again at the end.

Any other replies/advice appreciated

its not that your testies are working half way. they are doing there job as best they can with the amount of lh signaling them to work. Clomid will help stimulate lh function so keep us posted

BUMP: Clomid restart was apparently a success. Just got my bloods back, free test is at 652. Range is (260-740)
My results on 07/01/14 were 283 with the same range test.
My total testosterone was 35.0 nmol/L, up from 13.7. (11.0-40.)

I am very happy about this. I have noticed a physical improvement, getting much stronger and bigger quickly, not tired all the time.
Mentally I still feel depressed though, I am always mentally drained which impairs my physical ability. I believe this may be because of the clomid, because it is a known depressive. and i have been on 50mg a day for over a month.

My question is should I continue the clomid for another 2 weeks and try max out my test levels then taper off?
My tapering off plan is to drop down to 25mg/a day for a week. Then 25mg EOD for a week. But should I do another 2 weeks of 50mg/day first, bringing my total time on clomid to a bit over 2 months? Or have I pretty much achieved all I am going to achieve at this point?

Of course the real test of success is when I get my bloods back after being off for a month or so...if my test levels will hold up on their own.

Thank you jim for the help and advice, I appreciate it.

Also my SHBG CAME IN AT 50 nmol/L, up from 32. Is this good? Range (10-70)

For some reason I forgot to get my LH and FSH tested, I will go get another test of those soon just so I know exactly where I'm at.
