He could of said lower. Thought he said raise though lol
Which underscores the need to check free testosterone.
For sure, I’ll get results back tomorrow so I’ll post once I get them emailed to me!

Well wasn’t expecting this. All levels seem to look fine, I guess my estrogen may still be low unless the clomid raised it any. Going to stay on the clomid and going back in 2 weeks to get labs checked
Really not sure what to do after this
Your levels are “fine” as they are within the reference ranges. Looks like a very typical clomid response so far. Nothing wrong with checking it in a couple of weeks. You may need more time to appreciate benefits, or run your numbers higher to get them.
Yeah my free test jumped up a lot for the short time I’ve been on it. We’ll see how it does after being on it for a month, haven’t seen any improvements yet as far as how I feel
The thing about clomid is it blocks estrogen from the estrogen receptors in the brain, you are feeling the effects of synthetic estrogen and why you don’t feel well or any better.
Clomid is a terrible drug to treat low-T and is actually a women fertility drug. So forget about trying to figured out how to feel good on clomid as it’s a fools erin.
This was the expected outcome. If clomid actually worked so well, we wouldn’t be on TRT.
Reasonable. Clomid is commonly used off label in men for increasing fertility and as a treatment for low testosterone. Some get good results, meaning they successfully conceive or increase testosterone to asymptomatic levels and they are maintained. Generally, it’s not a good long term solution. Interesting that the manufacturer has not obtained FDA approval for men, which is telling, I think. The safe bet is you’ll need TRT, but some doctors will go through a process before getting there.
Well even though it isn’t good I guess I’m going to continue to take it to see if I have any changes, worst case is I don’t and come off of it and months down the road when levels drop again can get everything tested again
So did some bloods again Friday, since I quit clomid weeks ago my levels dropped back down to 547. Told him it didn’t help any and wanted to see if the test would work. He put me on test cep 50ml a week. Sounds like pretty low dose to me but it’s a start!
Oh boy, here we go, three, two, one…
I’m assuming you’re saying that because it’s low dose and I probably won’t see much?
That’s my fuck up on thag post, I’m on .50ml of test cyp 200 so 100mg a week, not 100😂 just reread what I said
Yeah, I read it as 50mg, not .5mL. Good luck with the 100mg though. My guess is it won’t be enough, but only one way to find out.
Yeah 100 is still low but I go back in a month for labs so we’ll see how I’m feeling and how numbers look, not looking as hard at numbers as I am for results
