I just came back from USA. I saw an Endo there.He ran different test and declared all is ok. I discussed clomid therapy and he dismissed the ideasayin that is bogus and only meant for ladies. it will not help me. I have chalanged him that it can restart HPTA. Now I need any body who has done clomid therapy and his T-level after therapy sustains I mean after clomid therapy do not got back to previous level. I want to show that to this Endo.
Read the stickies in this section, there are studies showing how clomid can boost T production. Print those out and bring with you.
I am going to start taking it this week, will let you know how it goes…
Ill make this easy for you…FIND ANOTHER ENDO, THE ENDO YOU HAVE IS AN INCOMPOTENT MORON.

simple question: after the clomid treatment (2-3 months after) what is your T-level? did it go back to pre-clomid treatment or it stays some what above pre-clomid level or it went even lower pre-clomid treatment. I have clomid and want to use it in small dose for 3-6 months. I am thinking to take 6mg - 12 mg X3/week.
I have posted this question before but no clomid user is willing to answer, I don’t know why?
I just started it recently at 25mg a day. I wanted to detoxify my body of alcohol before I started. I will definitely let you know how its going…
Mikey, how is your response now?
Will someone else answer that has taken clomid? I am considering purchasing it the next months.
Martin,
I was taking a low dose of about 12.5 mg a day. I am no longer doing this, haven’t taken the medication for almost a month now. My initial response was fairly good, more easily obtained erections, some better nocturnal ones.
However, I did seem to feel fatigued a lot and if you look at my bloodwork I had a pretty good response as far a t-levels.
At some point i seemed to get too concerned with my estrogen levels and things pretty much leveled off from there. My mind now plays a significant factor in my sexual well being so I am off it now and will go for another battery of bloodwork next week.
All in all i say that it can’t hurt and people should try it.
If concerned with estrogen did you consider arimidex? You started to feel too emotional and decided to stop, correct?
No i wasn’t getting too emotional. At one point I didn’t know if it was the clomid making me feel not as good, if it just plateaued or if my head was fucked up (which it was) making me feel like shit.
So I stopped and can at least identify now a little better what is causing my problems, a cleaner slate so to speak…
Under Dr Goldstein’s supervision, I have taken clomid for a month now (25 mg twice a week). The week after the first dose, I had erections all day long but no sensitivity. The following week I had sensitivity but no erections and heavy brain fog, then I was 90% recovered for 10 days (awesome), and now (past few days) I am at my worst ever. Currently, I simply cannot have erections anymore. I will get my blood tested tomorrow; I’m really curious to see what’s happening.
I’m actually not too sure that clomid was a good idea for me. It seems it just onset a major hormonal storm in my body. I’ve alway had cycles, but it seems that clomid emphasized their “amplitude”.
get hormones tested…this is crucial…your estrogen maybe too high…you just dont know…
even on a low dose such as that…everybody’s body is different…
Yeah, I have to get my blood tested tomorrow, and then I will discuss it with Dr G. My E high? Could be, but it’s always been low and I’ve been eating more broccoli than a goat and taking zinc supplements, so it would be quite unexpected. In view of my past evolution, it seems more likely that my SHBG went up through the roof.
I’m going to test T, SHBG, LH, FSH, Prolactin, TSH, Estradiol, PSA, DHT. I hope to find the answer in the blood test result. If, on the other hand, my blood test didn’t show anything weird, then that would be bad news. I’ll post an update next week when I get the result.
Good man…Get your Androstandiol Gluc. tested as well…
Don’t forget Androstandediol Gluc regulates GABA activity…I’m thinking this also affects our neurochemicals as well… We must cover all of the bases here…
Also, it could take up to 1 year before your body cells take on the higher testosterone…As new cells develop, your body then adjusts accordingly to the higher T…atleast that is what I researched online…
Interesting… does this imply that stopping clomid before 1 year is not suggested, because you can just go back to the pre-clomid T levels?
Anon, can you cite a source that it can take a full year to adjust to higher t levels? Also the “new cell” thing?
I don’t have a cited source, however I read it off anabolicminds.com from a person who is very knowledgeable on these subjects…I’m sure if you do some research online, you could get a cited source…When I get a minute I’ll look it up.
similiar experience for me. if all of us need the same treatment to fix us, then cross clomid off the list as far as i am concerned
that being said, if you are like me, i can at least have sex (not the best sex I have ever had but i can have sex) taking 6-oxo. gets you about 60-70% there… i am now considering just running this until we figure out the real cure
Not sure why a lot of people are opting to use chlomid over nolva, especially with stuff like this:
" Researchers were also conducting GnRH stimulation tests before and after various points of treatment with Nolvadex and Clomid, and the two drugs had markedly different results. These tests involved infusing patients with 100mcg of GnRH and measuring the output of pituitary lh - leutenizing hormone - in response. The focus of this test is to see how sensitive the pituitary is to Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone. The more sensitive the pituitary, the more lh - leutenizing hormone - will be released. The tests showed that after ten days of treatment with Nolvadex, pituitary sensitivity to GnRH increased slightly compared to pre-treated values. This is contrast to 10 days of treatment with 150mg Clomid, which was shown to consistently DECREASE pituitary sensitivity to GnRH (more lh - leutenizing hormone - was released before treatment). As the study with Nolvadex progresses to 6 weeks, pituitary sensitivity to GnRH was significantly higher than pre-treated or 10-day levels. At this point the same 20mg dosage was also raising testosterone and lh - leutenizing hormone - levels to an average of 183% and 172% of base values, respectively, which again is measurably higher than what was noted 10 days into therapy. Within 10 days of treatment Clomid is already exerting an effect that is causing the pituitary to become slightly desensitized to GnRH, while prolonged use of Nolvadex serves only to increase pituitary sensitivity to this hormone."
I thought 6-oxo was discontinued?
