Low Testosterone : Being prescribed Clomid, does anyone has any experience?

[gisselletdean]

I am 40 years old male.

So lately i have started to feel really fatigued and sluggish. Don't want to start a debate but i noticed this pattern post covid shots (pfizer 2 shots). Besides heart palpitation, i felt that i have pain in my legs and feet and all i want to do is lie down and sleep.

Got my blood work done and found out that my Testosterone is low. Normally they should be around 7+ but mine were 4.8. Got appointment with endocrinologist and they did a follow up detailed blood work and it came out the same.

One of the few questions that were asked and i am sharing here is that i don't have any problem in erection, I can perform, as a matter of fact me and my wife been trying to have baby (2nd baby, first one is 3.5 years old and perfectly normal) and we have been having regular (2-3 times a week) sex. I don't have any problem getting erection. [EDIT] Forgot to mention that i have never had issues growing beard or keeping long hair. As a matter of fact, I have one of the thickest beard and style it regularly. same goes for rest of the body hair. I am 6ft tall. I do on-and-off workout but been never able to build a proper mody. most of the time i was able to lean but never been able to bulk up. My weight fluctuates between 192 lbs - 204 lbs. But lately i have noticed that i have developed bell (dad-bod) and some man-boobs.

The only issue that i am feeling is being very very ver sluggish. constant pain in legs etc.

Doctor has prescribed me with Clomid. He said that this will not affect my fertility and if anything, it will improve our chances.

I just wanted to ask you guys if any of you have any experience with similar situation or the medicine. How did it go. What things to expect. Any side affects?

Bodybuilders will use this as part of their post-cycle therapy to kickstart their testosterone production after shutting themselves down.

When I had my testosterone checked, it came back lower than expected, and I felt pretty drained. My doctor also mentioned Clomid as a potential treatment, and after some research and chatting with others, I gave it a shot. It’s been a few months now, and I’ve noticed some improvement in energy levels and mood. No issues with fertility either, which was a big concern for me. I also started using products from hilmabiocare24.shop, and their pharmaceutical-grade supplements helped me feel more energized and supported. I still work out, though, and that’s really made a difference.

Hey man, I (38M) went through something similar last year after getting sick. The fatigue was brutal - could barely get through the day without wanting to crash. My doctor also mentioned low T, but I was hesitant about medication right away.

One thing that actually helped me was having regular conversations with other guys going through the same thing. There's this site I stumbled upon called lemonchat.app which is basically a random text chat where you can talk anonymously about health stuff without judgment. Connected with a few guys there who were dealing with hormone issues and shared their Clomid experiences.

The anonymous part was key for me since it's not exactly something I wanted to broadcast to friends/family. Just being able to vent about the fatigue and get practical advice from others who'd been there helped mentally while I was figuring out the medical side.

Regarding Clomid specifically - can't offer medical advice, but the guys I chatted with had mixed experiences. Some noticed energy improvements within weeks, others took longer. Hope you start feeling better soon, man. The sluggishness really messes with your quality of life.
