I'm taking Clomid and have had some increase in T, but not as much, and the doctor upped my dosage, since he said I was initially on a relatively low dose and sometimes it takes longer to see results. I am switching to HCG shortly as there is better symptomatic benefit from everyone I talk to plus I understand a number of other benefits. Additionally, I had a sperm analysis done before starting treatment. The "4 injections annually" comment made by the doctor made me wonder about his opinion on spikes and troughs. The cutting edge treatment from people I talk to is frequent small self-administered injections so that there are no spikes/troughs (ie. highs/lows) but rather a more consistent feeling. Thus, it better mirrors the body's own production of T. Plus, HCG can be cycled in every other day to preserve fertility/testes. Did the doctor talk about HCG at all...be it as a stand alone treatment or combined with T? Also, I would be curious about a semen analysis as well. I've had 2 of them done just to see my baseline starting point before treatment and that was helpful to know. However, no matter what, Clomid is helpful on that front in improving sperm characteristics.
