Chlomiphene Citrate, or Chlomid, blocks estrogen at the pituitary and hypothalamus glands. Yes, men produce estrogen and estrogen acts like a stop signal for testosterone manufacture. After a couple of months, the next test showed my T levels doubled making it well into the normal range. One of the good things about this type of treatment is your body is making the testosterone and you don't have the problems with side effects that someone on Testosterone replacement drugs can experience.
You are fortunate to find a Doctor willing to go this route!
HCG protocol also works for many.
Glad it works for you. It works for many people. Some sort of estrogen blocker is likely best for anyone on T replacement. But such is our current medical establishment.
T to Free T to E2 are critical ratios!
