What would help my situation?

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:

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. My symptoms for checking 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 if they trigger something very specific. Also although I would have steady progression weight wise in the gym, in my every day life I would feel very weak doing tasks, like carrying stuff. I went to an endocrinologist a few days ago with these results and the doctor told me my values are alright. I want to run enclomiphene citrate for a few months because I'm thinking these are perhaps pointing towards secondary hypogonadism and I don't want to hop on testosterone because I want to have a family in the near future. Any advice from people in a similar predicament?
 
Your natural free test is close to what mine is on gear, so I can't say I'd recommend hopping on, but I'm not an expert in the slightest.
 
You are not testosterone deficient, you have high free Test due to low SHBG. What can cause your mood swings are inbalance of test with estrogen. You can increase your body fat, but I woudn't recommend.
Check also everything regards to iron, so iron, TIBC, UIBC, transferin, saturation of transferin, feritin, reticulocytes and hematocrite. Low feritin can also cause mood swings.
Also check TSH, T3 and T4.

Thank you all for your responses. I will be doing TSH, T3 and T4 exams next week. I've never really heard of the other ones before that were mentioned so I'll look into them. I do think, after looking into it a bit more that my test is at good levels, more so because of the low SHBG. I will keep monitoring it over the next year, as many times as I'm able to. I'm still a bit concerned about my low estrogen, but I guess it's perhaps not that serious!
