On the plan · You and your clinician have decided on it

Vitamin D

No prescription

Questions for a clinician
  • Should I check my vitamin D level first?
  • Are my other medications a concern?

Considering · Worth a conversation

Testosterone

Prescription

Prescription testosterone replacement for men with confirmed low testosterone.

Questions for a clinician
  • Have my levels been confirmed with repeat morning tests?
  • How will TRT affect my fertility, and are there alternatives if that matters?
  • What labs will we check, and how often?

Enclomiphene

Compounded prescription

A pill that can raise a man's own testosterone while preserving fertility. Compounded, not approved.

Questions for a clinician
  • Is my low testosterone the kind enclomiphene can address?
  • How does it compare with clomiphene or TRT for me?

Just researching · Reading up, nothing decided

Research only

A reproductive-hormone peptide studied in fertility research. Restricted from compounding.

“Research only.”
