question from a user
I am 25 years old with a total T of 256, prolactin 26.6, free t of 38.6. Working out 5-6 days per week and a decent diet. 6’2” roughly 170 lbs maybe <10% body fat. Current symptoms include low sex drive, ed, tired and sluggish, and just in general not feeling like my member can hold much volume. Currently running clomid and cabergaline for the past 2 months and seeing slight improvement. Any recommendations? Should I keep giving running what I’m running or should I start looking into TRT?
AlphaMD's Answer
For someone who works out that much & who is looking at body metrics, alongside those symptoms, switching to TRT would provide you more benefits most likely. The Clomid may be helping to raise your T, but it is limiting your IGF-1 which is reducing your ability to produce/maintain muscle mass & potentially undermining your workouts.
