TRT / Enclomiphene and Fertility

[Kyli]

Hey everyone, I need some advice.

I'm 42 right now, and TBH I suspect my testosterone level is low—partly due to some excess weight. I don't have children yet, but I'd like to one day. The problem is, I'm not sure how to approach this.

One complication: in the country where I live, every lab has to submit test results to a national database, so there's a "Big Brother" element to consider.

Does it make sense to see a doctor for TRT? And if so, what happens next? I have no idea whether a doctor here can even prescribe enclomiphene, or whether I'd have to go straight down the TRT route. Is it worth going to an MD for this at all? My concern is that a doctor will only normalise my T-level. But if I'm going the TRT route anyway, why not go beyond that to a higher-than-normal level, like some bodybuilders do?

I hope someone can help me with these questions—I'm kind of stuck and don't know what to do.

Is it a little extra weight, or a lot? Beyond a certain point, it can negatively affect many aspects of your health.

Do you suspect low testosterone or did you have your blood analysed? If not, it's a guessing game.

So what if your results go to a national database, that's just for statistics. If you want a doctor to put you on TRT for life, he's going to need bloodwork anyway.

As long as it is within a normal range and you still want childeren I would stay clear of TRT.

Unfortunately, it's quite a lot. And yeah, I'm working on it—which is also why I suspect my level might be low. So this is really just my own interpretation of my current situation; I've never actually been to a lab or doctor to get my blood analysed.

I currently have no idea how long the data is stored in the national database, or who has access to it. But it could become a problem if I ever want to change my insurance policy. I'm privately insured at the moment, and any chronic "issue" can drive up the cost. Lying to them about my health status could also cause problems. That's why I'd rather not have any records of my health data in the first place. And no—the data isn't stored anonymously as a statistic; it's linked to my name and national ID number.

So I'd need a real, significant benefit to even get the test done. And I'm not sure whether I should go this route at all, or just wait and hope my T-level recovers once I lose the excess weight.

In that case, I would start GLP-1 as soon as possible. Either Tirzepatide or Retatrutide will do the trick. If you want nobody to know you could considerer going grey from the first pin.

Just be sure to educate yourself before you do. You don't want to end up in a hospital.
And then read some more 😌

From my very first pin of Mounjaro, it was life changing. I was able to implement good nutrition, the early weight loss lifted my mood, which gave me the energy to move more, and so on.

After a couple of months and a whole lot of reading, I started researching some other peptides.

Me now: 57yo, down to 89kg from 118kg since mid-October '25. Still 20kg from my goal weight, but already in my best shape in decades.

I'm currently on Reta, since 3 weeks. Also with a lot of reading. + SS-31, 5-Amino-1MQ and GHK-Cu (+Semax and Selank).

And yes, currently I already lost some kg. But there is still a log way to go. But I'm also worried about the loss of muscle mass. Yeah, I'm eating my 1g of Protein for each kg.

But few days ago, I watched a video from a doc, who also told about TRT to get the hormones in order. That's why I also considered TRT or Enclomiphene. I don't even know, if I can get Enclomiphene prescribed here. On the grey market it's available, but at a relatively high price.

Looks like you are on the right track and I like your stack 🙂

Resistance training gets your hormones up and keeps your muscles intact. I'm starting to prefer isometrics because they are easier on the joints. That and one heavy ass kettlebell.
