Please help me interpret this bloodwork

After suffering from a bone bruise, I had to do a bunch of bloodwork for different things, so I decided to do a hormonal panel, these were the results:

Total Test: 3.44 ng/mL
Free Test: 28.00 pg/mL
SHBG: 9 nmol/L
FSH: 4.0 mIU/mL
LH: 3.9 mIU/mL
PRL: 10.0 ng/mL
E2: 9.0 pg/mL
ALB: 5.1 g/dL
Vitamin D-3: 33 ng/mL
Cortisol: 167 ng/mL
IGF-1: 255.8 ng/mL
DHT: 0.65 ng/mL


I'm 29 years old, 182cm and about 87kg at the moment. Before my injury I had been working out again regularly for about 5 months(before that I'd go through spurs of working out for a 6-8 months and stopping for a couple again). The reason I wanted to check my hormones is the fact I feel fatigued all day, even with high quality and quantity rest. I feel moody as well, I could get very emotional over trivial things. Also although I would be putting on more weight almost every week in the gym, in my every day life I would feel very weak doing tasks, like carrying stuff(not like overtraining, more so like I wasn't able to build meaningful muscle). I went to an endocrinologist a few days ago with these results and the doctor told me my values are alright, but especially my E2 looks awful to me personally. I want to run enclomiphene citrate for a few months because I'm thinking these values are perhaps pointing towards secondary hypogonadism and I don't want to hop on testosterone because I want to have kids in the near future. Thank you for your time, any advice from people in a similar predicament would be super appreciated.
 
Could try enclomiphene, clomid or even hcg but is this something you would be willing to stay on long term? If you’d taken testosterone etc recently and were looking to recover levels then short term enclomiphene Might make sense. No idea where your bf is but If your body fat is quite high might be worth coming down to a reasonable level first and another set of bloods
 
i'd do hcg because i think if you were functioning normally but just low test, your e2 would be higher.
i was prescribed clomid at a high dose by a doctor (trying to get a trt script more than a decade ago) and it made me extremely emotional , probably wicked high e2 or however clomid works. maybe add clomid at a reasonable dose if hcg doesn't work. but i think there are more modern options aswell but I dont keep up with it because its PCT related
