All clinical laboratory tests within normal ranges (any clinically significant deviation of laboratory results will require approval of sponsor) 4. Previously or concurrently diagnosed as having secondary hypogonadism and confirmed with morning testosterone <300ng/dL measured twice on separate days. One of the two TT levels must be confirmed at baseline. Subjects who fail this criterion will be enrolled in the placebo group. 5. LH <9.4 mIU/mL (at Visit 1 only) 6. Ability to complete the study in compliance with the protocol 7. Ability to understand and provide written informed consent Exclusion Criteria: 1. Use of an injectable or pelleted testosterone within 6 months prior to study (men currently on topical products may be enrolled in the study after a 7-day washout period) 2. Use of testosterone injection, spironolactone, cimetidine, Clomid, 5a-reductase inhibitors, hCG, androgen, estrogen, anabolic steroid, DHEA, or herbal hormone products during the study 3. Use of Clomid in the past year 4. Uncontrolled hypertension or diabetes mellitus based on the Investigator's assessment at baseline. Subjects treated for Type II diabetes will be allowed into the study. Newly diagnosed diabetics need to be treated for at least 48 hours before being enrolled in the study 5. Clinically significant abnormal findings at screening (Visit 1), based on the Investigator's assessment. 6. A hematocrit >54% or a hemoglobin >17 g/dL 7. Clinically significant abnormal laboratory findings at baseline (Visit 2), based on the Investigator's assessment 8. Use of an investigational drug or product, or participation in a drug or medical device research study within 30 days prior to receiving study medication. 9. Known hypersensitivity to Clomid 10. Symptomatic cataracts (nuclear sclerosis cataract or cortical cataract grade > 2 based on 0-4 scale or any trace of posterior subcapsular cataract) 11. Abnormal fundoscopy exam such as central retinal vein occlusion 12. Any condition which in the opinion of the investigator would interfere with the participant's ability to provide informed consent, comply with study instructions, possibly confound interpretation of study results, or endanger the participant if he took part in the study 13. Irreversibly infertile or compromised fertility (cryptorchism, Kallman Syndrome, primary hypogonadism, or tumors of the pituitary) 14. Current or history of breast cancer 15. Subjects with a Z-score of <2 16. Hyperparathyroidism, metabolic bone disease, previous fracture of the spine, recent chemotherapy, use of medications that may influence BMD (thyroid replacement therapy, immunosuppressive therapy, prednisone or antiepileptic drugs 17. No intravenous or oral contrast agents within 7 days. 18. Subject weighs >300 pounds (>136 kg) 19.
