BEFORE & AFTER results of Clomid Treatment for PFS

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

Welcome. Seems you’ve made progress on the protocol, are you still on it today?

Interesting results…

this is not first or last clomid user. Many have tried but T does not hold it’s value and once clomid is stopped drops down slowly and withing few months comes to the starting point. The recent example is labrea. The more important point is how are you feeling in all departments.

Hi there, thanks for the interest, here is the member story that relates to the results above:

Hi…no I’m not on the protocol now, just did it as a once-off and have taken nothing since. So 3 weeks on Clomid and Letrazole, 1 week off, and blood work 48 hours after the last off-day. Still feel good now, which is 3 and 1/2 weeks since my last tablet. Will track any changes over the next few months and re-test. Due for a follow-up visit with my Endo to discuss the results soon, I’m sure he’ll have some insights which I will post…thanks

How are you feeling now, brother? Have your PFS symptoms gone away?
