Test Results
Was first tested BEFORE taking any Fin / Dut in 1999, age 21. Unfortunately don’t have those figures but do recall that I was very high, off the upper end of the reference range.
Note: stopped all Finasteride / Dutasteride use as of Nov / Dec 2011.
Clomid Treatment Protocol was: 3 weeks, Clomid 50mg twice a day, 2.5mg Letrazole once per day
