by jmpta5611, Dec 05, 2007 03:47PM
during the summer i was put on prednisone and cortisol for a bout with pneumonia.  ever since i have been having problems with my test. levels dropping dramatically and it is now at 122. i feel awful and im starting to have pain in my testicles. my doc put me on adrogel for a month, i don't know why and it made my levels drop even more.  now i have to wait another two months before i can see an urologist.  im thinkin bout taking HCG and Clomid and i was wondering what my dosages should be?

hcg is a common pregnancy hormone and clomid is to enhance a womans fertility.  I have never heard of them being used in a man.  i will have to look into that.

I read a little about its use in men, but mostly body builders.  My question is have you had blood work to determine your LH level.  From what I understand clomid and hcg will only help if your LH is low, but I could be wrong.  I hope you finda solution and I will keep an eye out for some answers as i google about.
Hace you ever been checked for a glandular disorder.  the steroids may have just aggravated an underlying pituatary gland issue.  I would ask your doc about seeing an endocrinologist in addition to the urologist.  Just to rule out any underlying condition.
