Doctor has agreed we’ll review other kinds of treatment since Clomid has dropped off. Going in to test Free/Total, SHBG, LH, FSH, Lipids, Prolactin, E2, Albumin, CBC. After these tests, I will start low doses of clomid and some UGL anastrozole that I have to see if that can bridge me into feeling a little better before my appointment on the 12th. The clomid is prescribed and as I may have mentioned, I’ve never had sides or negative experiences with clomid, it always brings my levels into the mid-600s without affecting too much else, it just stops working after I stop taking it. The anastrozole is my own solution to the fact that my E is consistently in the thirties in blood tests (I should note I’ve only had it tested two or three times) but I will defer to experts here as to whether or not I should add that in.
He also wanted PSA and Liver values but I had those done a few weeks ago so i’m just bringing 'em with me. I’ve never had lipids, cbc, or albumin tested - why would these be tested? I imagine that this with the liver is to see if I’ve been using any steroids/etc? Or just to get a general idea of my health? Or is this because albumin, etc bings to testosterone in the same way SHBG and can throw off free/bioavailable testosterone even when total test is in a healthy range?
EDIT: here are my two previous threads. Apologies for not keeping them concise.
