Hi, Shan. Nice to hear that you have done well on Clomid. Any eye issues or extra floaters? I have been curious to meet someone else that was on Clomid for a long period of time. I started Clomid at about the same dosage as you about 18 months ago. I always had floaters since my early 20's...

Sorry for the late reply, I have been away for a while; Free Testosterone(Direct) 23.6 pg/mL

You can find a clinic (hopefully there is one in your area) that will prescribe TRT, or you can use one of the online resources like Defy, that advertise on this site. However, your insurance many not cover it, because mine won't unless I drop below 200 or some crazy low number like that.

Systemlord, sending well wishes your way for a speedy recovery! This sounds like a scary event. Being rather new to TRT, I have read that some men donate blood regularly when the blood gets too thick. Is that a possibility that you blood is too thick?

I think that anything involving shots will be a last resort for me. I wanted to try what was easiest/cheapest first. My insurance doesn't cover TRT, so this is all "out of pocket" expense for me. If you try HCG, let us know how it works.

I was taking 25 MG of Clomid per day, but this week I have reduced that to 12.5 MG of Clomid per day, because my "T" levels are 1,019 and I think I might be fine at a lower level. I stopped taking the AI, because I could not tell that it was doing anything for me. You will see my latest labs...

Below is an article discussing the build up of zuclomiphene that might be of interest; Serum levels of enclomiphene and zuclomiphene in men with hypogonadism on long-term clomiphene citrate treatment. - PubMed - NCBI Then this article, which is easier to understand...

Thanks for the feedback Systemlord. I will keep a watch on my TSH at the next blood test.

I am one of the rare men that seems to do OK on Clomid, so I wanted to post my lab results from my 6 month checkup. I took images of the PDF file and included them to this post. If you see something of concern, please let me know. I do see that my BUN/Creatine is low, but I am not sure what...

I went to discountlabs.com last week and ordered the Elite test panel. Then took the document I was emailed, to my local LabCorp and had 7 vials of blood drawn on Friday (02/08/2019). I should get results back in several weeks and I will post them here, as I am one of the rare unicorns that...

Thanks for mentioning the fact about fasting. I have wondered if I should fast before my blood tests, and you have answered that question.

Hi, Ronny. You and I have been in the same forum before, so please check out this link for #18 in the posts; Feel horrible on clomid. Since making that post, I no longer take an AI because it had no perceived benefit for me. Also, I have reduced my dosage of Clomid from 25 MG per day to...

My T levels didn't increase when I got off of Sertraline, but everyone is different in how they respond to meds. I would tend to think it was more related to the AAS. But it might be an experiment worth trying if you decide to drop the Sertraline. And also, when your T levels go higher, that...

I could not deal with no libido while on Sertraline, so I stopped taking it as soon as I got that stressful job behind me. However, that was a year before my testosterone started declining below 500, so from blood tests I saw during the year I took the SSRI, I don't think it lowered my...

I was on Sertraline years ago for depression (not realizing my low mood was caused by my low T) and my libido vanished. There are many supplements that might help your mood, should you decide to stop taking Sertraline (example Mucuna Dopa which you can find on Amazon and some people get relief...

Hi, AbsoluteZ3R0. I saw that you worked through the side effects of Cialis. How long did it take for side effects to go away? Or did you do something, or take a supplement to get rid of side effects? Cialis makes me tired and causes acid reflux, but thankfully no back pain, so just wondering...

Castaneda, how long do you expose your testes to the red light? I had never heard of that before, but I just googled it and see that they recommend at 670 nm red light wavelength. That is very interesting.

Anyone experience tiredness when taking Cialis? I started with a 2.5 MG dose and was extremely tired in about 6 hours. So I reduced the dosage to 1.25 MG per day and tried it for a week. I was really tired the whole week and my energy came back about 2 days after stopping Cialis. My erection...

Mark, just curious what dosage you are taking? I am only taking 1.25 MG, but have not experienced an increase in heart rate. My problem is that they make me feel tired, which interferes with my gym workouts. It is starting to bother my acid reflux too, so I am skipping my dosage today. Try a...

I do take Magnesium supplements at night since they make me relaxed and sleepy. I am not sure if my supplement is Magnesium Glycinate, so I will have to research that. Thanks for the suggestion!

Hey, Kettlebells. Sometimes night sweats can be caused by acid reflux. Before I started TRT, my night sweats were so bad, that I had a small fan at the foot of my bed to keep me dry at night, else the sheets were soaked. But I can also get this condition with acid reflux. Just curious if you...

I tried .125 MG of Anastrozole twice per week for 5 weeks. I was curious to see if it would increase libido or have any other positive side effect, as my estrogen levels were a little high at 65.1 pg/ml (scale of 7.6 - 42.6). After 5 weeks, I didn't notice any changes in libido or anything...

I didn't experience nasal stuffiness with 1.25 MG, but I did with 2.5 MG. The tired feeling comes a few hours after taking the 2.5 MG dose, so for me I don't think it was related to lack of sleep, but to something else. I checked my blood pressure when I got home and it was OK, so the tired...

I started taking a low dose of Cialis (Tadalafil) in the last few days. My prescription was for 2.5 MG per day, but it made me extremely tired. I cut that dose in half to 1.25 MG per day and have done OK so far. Even the low dose makes me a little tired/relaxed which isn't what I want when...

Also, Ronny, I am not sure how much pain you are in, but before I got my T levels up, I was taking two Advil a day for lower back pain for 4 years that my doctor thought was arthritis. I am 52 years old now. But the lower back pain went away on my third week of treatment. I don't take Advil...

I had a "honey moon" phase with libido during the 3rd to 6th week of starting Clomid and then it leveled off. Glad to hear others experienced the same thing and that it wasn't just me.

Hi, Ronny. The L-Arginine (and I also take L-Citruline 750MG, but forgot to mention that) are Nitric Oxide boosters I believe and they help me get muscle pumps in the gym during workouts and also help with erections. They probably don't make a difference with the T levels, but I thought I...

Hi, Ronny. How long have you been on Clomid? I also take 2,000 IU of Vitamin D per day in addition to a multi vitamin. And I take 1,000 mg of L-Arginine each day. Just wanted to mention those, in case they have some affect on how Clomid works. What dosage are you on per day? Everyone is...

I started taking Clomid in July of 2018. My T levels had been steadily declining over the last 7 years from 780 to 360 when I started taking Clomid at 50 MG per day. After 3 weeks I felt better and stopped taking Advil for joint pain. When tested at the 6 week mark, my total T levels were...
