@KSman
That is good to know about Iodine boosting TSH values. All my bloodwork posted so far has been pre-Iodine supplementation but I will keep that in mind for the future.
Plan now is to do your IR protocol. Going 6mg/day or a few days, then up to 12.5mg daily, and gradually work up to 50mg/day for 2 weeks.
My temps haven’t been great lately, even with the improvement in TSH value.
Averaging 97.8 @ afternoon.
There have been mornings I have woken up with 96.8…
Really hoping the IR yields some results here since it appears I do not have Hashimoto’s…
I’m doing:
12.5mg clomid
multivitamin
I just finished my 60 day course of one iodoral pill/day
vit d-3: 5000iu
dhea: 25mgs
arimidex: .5mg/week
Cutting sucks. I’m on day 4 or 5 of cutting out refined sugar and fructose. I’m like a fucking crack addict when I see cookies or other sugary goodies. I am losing the weight though, muscle seems to be sticking around so far. Strength is still decent. The higher T level really seems to be helping. In the past when I have cut down to 150lbs from 180lbs I still had fucking love handles and I lost all my gains. 
At least lost gains return quickly…
What are your morning and afternoon temps now, after that 60 day course? I just restarted IR with 12.5mg a day… so far feel OK but no change in temps yet.
I am following your lead with .5mg/week of Arimidex. Mine just arrived today, mixed it with Vodka so that each dose is .16mg and I will dose throughout the week to hit .5mg total.
How long did you start to notice a change from the Arimidex? I am hoping for my morning wood to return 
And I feel ya on cutting… the whole time I had terrible T levels I still had great strength (600+ deadlift) but if I attempted to cut my body dropped strength and muscle very quickly.
EDIT: ~8 HRs after dosing that Arimidex (.16mg) my libido seems to be returning… can it work THAT fast?? I was expecting it to take a few days before I noticed an effect 
Maybe I am a hyper responder?
Yes, I noticed in a day, but I took 1mg as my inital dose. Not good, I crashed out my E2 big time. I have a very obvious sign that my E2 is too high, my nipples itch so bad I want to burn them off with a hot poker. After recovering for a day, my nipples stopped itching.
Give it two days before you decide to adjust anything. The half life isn’t as long as clomid, so regimen changes can show up quick. Also realize that if you stop the AI for any reason, you MUST taper. Your body will make more aromatase in response to the blockage, if you go cold turkey, your E2 will crash.
I also tried .3mg/week, and it just wasn’t enough. Get yourself a quick method to dose accurately and you can adjust if needed.
Glad to hear you are doing better!
It has become a suspicion of mine that some of the “clomid side effects” are actually from not managing E2 levels. You have seen what a difference it can make…
edit: After my course of iodoral waking body temps are now in the normal range.
Thanks @gonadthebarbarian , you and KSMan have been super helpful!
I am going to stay the course with the Iodoral, body seems to be tolerating the daily 12.5mg dose well now. Your results are very encouraging.
I think my Arimidex dosing is accurate. I put 6mL of Vodka into a flash, then dropped a single 1mg Arimidex pill in there and let it dissolve. With an oral syringe I pull out 1mL at a time after shaking thoroughly … should be .16mg. Had morning wood for first time in a few weeks this morning, quality wasn’t 100%, but it’s a start in the right direction I am feeling optimistic… I will try dosing EOD and see how I feel over the next two weeks. Eventually I will pull some blood for E2… want to get close to KSMan’s ideal ‘22’ value.
HCG is another matter altogether… haven’t had any luck talking my Eurologist into that yet, but I am working on it.
Quick minor update lads…
Been dosing Iodoral @ 12.5mg daily (w/ 200mcg Selenium) for a couple weeks now, afternoon temps have not risen above 98.2 on average though. Going to go to 25mg daily and see what effect that has.
E2 control is very frustrating — it seems to be a moving target. I started with 0.16mg A-Dex EOD and that was a definite improvement from no AI, but still seemed to give inconsistent results with erections. I just recently ramped up to 0.25mg EOD but haven’t noticed any change yet. I wish Aromasin was cheaper, I’d like to give that a try… seems like it would be easier to tinker with too.
My next labs are on 7/1 so I will keep you all posted. My goal for next Urologist appointment is to get him to commit to giving me HCG. I want children some day and don’t feel comfortable doing TRT long-term without it.
