My fiance is s/p orchiectomy last July, was diagnosed with seminoma stage 2a and therefore had XRT per NCCN guidelines. He finished in early September. He's been experiencing many of your typical low T symptoms and had his levels checked and had a total T of 406 ng/dl and free t of 49 pg/ml, which is classified as low. He is 28 and although 406 is not considered low, my understanding is that this is probably low for someone his age on average? And that regardless, we should treat symptoms since we don't have a baseline T from pre-cancer.
The catch 22 is that we do want kids, just not yet. A urologist in DC who has done a fellowship in male reproductive endocrinology prescribed him Clomid today because of the likelihood that TRT will decrease or eliminate his sperm count. Does anyone have any experience with Clomid being used to increase T? Or experience on Clomid in general?
We would love any feedback. Thanks!
