Have you checked your hormone levels ?

I am a 35 yr old male, and few months back found that my Testosterone levels were in the 150-300 range among different labtests (acceptable range being 300-1100). In males Estrogen is created from free testosterone. Because of my low testosterone, my estrogen levels were in immeasurable range (it just said less than 10). I faced different side-effects of almost non-existing Estrogen like dry skin, facial twitchiness, dry irritating eyes, low libido. Also had anxiety, depression, and low drive/motivation because of the low testosterone.

I have been trying different methods to raise my testosterone levels, clomid/TRT/Hcg. all the methods make me feel better than my previous self. I am trying to figure out which method will help me maintain optimum hormone levels in the longterm with less side effects, I think most likely it will be a combination of cycling through all of these three methods. Planning to use Enclomiphene instead of Clomid, the next time I try a SERM.
