    An MRI is always a good idea to rule our adenoma's.
    How long were you on clomid prior to the July BW?

    Starting on 200 mgs is high end TRT and normally not needed. But some docs (Crisler and others) will do a mild front-load and then reduce the dose. Starting with a higher dose and potentially staying there can eventually cause estrogen issues as well as polycythemia. Be sure to monitor things properly. Continuing on clomid is useless as when injecting exogenous T the clomid will do virtually nothing for you. One or the other, not both and clomid did nothing for you so the choice is easy.

    Your LH and FSH are at normal levels currently but the injected testosterone will cause pituitary function to cease and they will pretty much zero out. Do some research on HCG as it will help maintain fertility and testicular function.

    I was on Clomid for 6 weeks prior to the BW in July. Even just that one shot that he give me will stop my pituitary from working?! Do you think I'm destined to have to be on some sort of TRT for the rest of my life?
    He seemed pretty confident in his plan: 5 more weeks on Clomiphene at 75mg/day instead of 50. Get BW after that and see where I'm at. If no improvement in T levels he will give me a Testosterone gel. Ideally, I would like to make sure I can #1 have kids still and #2 get my T levels back in the 600 or so range without exogenous T.
