Hey guys, I'm a 37 y/o male who just had a consult with Defy. I knew my T would be low from prior testing, but my labs also indicated Hashimotos's disease with elevated antibodies. TPO was 75 IU/ml with a range of 0-34 and my Thyroglobulin Antibody was 17.3 with a range of 0.0-0.9. I am...

Hello all,
My HPTA restart began 6 weeks ago without a problem. HCG mono for 3 weeks followed by Clomid 12.5mg EOD for 6 weeks. I believe I'm in my 3rd week of Clomid and I've just now started to feel bad on it. My anxiety level is starting to slowly creep up and so is a feeling of depression...
So, I've been on TRT alone from 9/13 - 11/18. Felt absolutely amazing for about 2 years and then began chasing the dragon after a massive drop in mood and effect. I over respond to adex (.012 once a week puts me at 5 on the sensitive), SHBG hovers between 19 and 27 and T is in the 850-1000...
Anybody know if a younger guy could have success with clomid having a normal total testosterone level but high SHBG and was wanting to raise free testosterone being on lower end due to high SHBG?
Why is clomid used instead of nolvadex in a restart monotherapy protocol? From what I understand nolvadex should have similar results to clomid but with less side effects. Can you use nolvadex as a monotherapy? What am I missing?
Hi guys, I was prescribed clomid at 12.5 mg EOD to jumpstart my testosterone. Here are my bloods:
Total Test 270 NG/DL (264-916)
Free test 8.7 pg/ml (9.3-27)
DHEA 190 ug/dL
LH 1.7miu/ ml (1.7-8.6)
Estrogen 7.6 pg / ml(8-35)
TSH 1.7 mIU/ml (.45-4.5)
Shg 40 nmol/ l
I was wondering if anyone has...
Summary of my lab work:
Okay total T
Low Free T
High SHBG
Low LH
Underperforming Thyroid
Low E2 Estradiol senstive - 7.4 (normal = 8.0 - 35.0)
Doctor has started me on 12.5 Clomid (EOD) and AI (Anastrozole) (3x per week)
From what I gather, the treatment plan lis designed to elevate my free T...
Hello all,
My testosterone levels were 150, I was feeling like crap. Low mood, low energy, brain fog, low libido that has become non-existentant.
I began on testosterone cyp low dose injections 3 times a week and was put on Anastrozole 1 mg per day.... My test went through the roof over 1500...
Was just wandering if anyone on here just uses clomid and hcg to boost testosterone unstead of Trt. Is clomid plus hcg successful for you? also is clomid plus hcg a smart protocol because I thought hcg was suppressive?
Short story - I have Low T and eventually was prescribed Clomid (low dose) by my Dr. (secondary hypogodism). He gave me a 2 month supply and said take it for 4 weeks - stop for 5 days - take it again for 4 weeks and then stop. Then come back to see him.
He is trying to see if my Pituitary...
39yrs old, 260lbs
Iinitial labs had estradiol at 127.4 pg/ml)
Began aromasin at 12.5mg 3x wk
Two weeks later labs failed to detect estradiol (<2.5 pg/ml). In other words, crashed. Empirical symptoms consistent with low estrogen.
This is not the first time I’ve crashed my estrogen to...
I am a 55 year old guy. I have had symptoms of hypogonadism since 2016. I would always feel tired, weak erections and hardly any nocturnal erections. I discussed this with my primary physician and he referred me to a urologist. I was able to see the urologist at the beginning of 2017. He did a...
Hello all,
I am in a really dark place at the moment and I pray that something will help pull me out. I became a heavy alcoholic about 8 years ago and now finally I got it under control. I haven't felt right for the last 5 years and by that I mean all of the symptoms of low T have been...
Hello all,
Currently, my wife and I are hoping to conceive. I have been on TRT therapy for 3 years now. I have also used HCG for the first two years, though, this past year I stopped taking it (I feel better on T only). I am 27 years old. I saw my doctor and his fertility/restart protocol is...
Today my doc gave me 400mg cypionate injection at his office. He told me to come back after one month to see, how I hold it in my blood. i wanted to split into 100mg/week but he said that's how he starts first. He also told me to continue taking Anastrozole.
I have been back on TRT with Defy since 9-2018.
After the first 60 days I wasn't feeling so good and grumpy with low libido.
Testicles downsizing pretty quickly as well.
At check up time in December I was put on 12mg clomid three times a week for testicular atrophy.
Well now.... I feel much...
I am curious if there is any way to have long term success on Clomid despite being prone to high SHBG. I have always been over the range, my SHBG was at 60 (15-55) even on injections.
I tried a Clomid restart and it shot my SHBG up to 90 (15-55).
So after 4 months on Clomid, my total t was at...
Hello,
Moving from Clomid to TRT with Defy. Stopped using the clomid due to vision issues, but can I just jump right into TRT? Used clomid for about 3 weeks or so. What are thoughts about this? I tried searching the forum but couldn't really find an answer for it.
Thanks all.
Hello all,
Started my Clomid therapy with Defy. Not for fertility.
12.5 ED.
First week or so felt really good, low test symptoms (zero libido, foggy brain, super dry skin, thin hair but no MPB, etc etc) seemed to slowly get better even within two weeks. Sounds crazy but it is true. However, I...
I have been on 25mg of clomid 3x a week for three weeks now (No Testosterone, no other drugs). During the past week and a half I half noticed my chest feels tighter then usual and it is harder for me to catch my breath then it normally is. I have mild asthma but even my rescue inhaler is not...
I’m 28, was on injections and hcg for 1.5~2 years with test levels over 1200. Urologist determined I may no longer need exogenous testosterone and I went off injections and onto Clomid for 4 months with the first three being at 25 mg eod and the last month at 12.5 eod. I quit Nov. 6th.
My...
Hi

Male 34 years old.
Made a bad desicion 6 years ago, and did an oral only cycle for 6 weeks.
Only 40mg turinabol ed. Didnt read anything about this stuff until after I was done.
Went off after 6 weeks, and felt...

E2 sensitive: 14.7 (8-35) - **low**
SHGB: 89.3 (16.5-55.9) -...
My doctor says that she would put me on clomid twice a week for a few years until my testosterone gets low enough to go on TRT. She also says monitoring estrogen levels is unimportant. What do you think?
My latest labs from October 10 are total T: 297ng/dl, (300-1080 range) Free T 3.81ng/dl...
Hello guys, this is my first post on this forum although I've been lurking for awhile. Interesting that there has been an uptick in guys posting about combining clomid with hCG but I don't believe much discussion has focused on using them both while on TRT.
I'll start with this: I've been on...
2 years back I was prescribed a testosterone gel in UK for my low t levels of 6.2 at the age of 38
I am now 40 and kinda regretting the decision. It appears they think it's secondary hypogonadism but had no final say and now exloping the possibility of children.....
I had sperm test done which...
correct me if I am wrong. I want to know more about drug since i am off trt with low total t and below range free. but honestly I am scared of Clomid
1) can cause sucidial behaviour in hypogonal men (Clomid-Associated Suicide Behavior in Hypogonadal Man)
2) can increase e2 more than trt
3)...
