Clomid for Low Test

[TheBigT]

This happens as the synthetic estrogen (which is an agonist or antagonist depending on the target tissue) in your bloodstream and binds to the estrogen receptors, partially or fully blocking the effects of estrogen.

You need estrogen for libido.

The whole point of clomid therapy is to prevent estrogen from binding to the estrogen receptors in the pituitary gland, effectively tricking the pituitary gland into thinking there’s no testosterone in the body and the pituitary gland increases LH to increase testosterone.

You have succeeded in doing that, but as a side effect your libido is suffering. This doesn’t happen to everyone.

The only way your libido will come back is if you stop clomid, end of story.

Libido is not any more or less than it was before.
First month on clomid libido spiked to super natural levels, then it leveled out. It’s same as before now. And also as I’ve mentioned, I have a high body fat % around 25%. I think I’m gonna try losing some fat and building muscle first, seeing as that Clomid has been helping boost my test and I’m noticing visceral fat melt away.

I've been on 50mg EOD for almost 9 months now, otherwise I can't function properly. I've read that it is genotoxic and that does increase the risk of cancer long term. That's why I might cut back to 25mg EOD. I don't think they'd do studies to prove whether it's causal or not, the commercial effect on the market if you include women doesn't allow it.

It gets a bad rep online sadly. I think people read one person who did not respond well and will run with that. Dr. Mark Gordan has been using this therapy for over a decade and has treated over 800 patients. I am 26, TRT would not be a good idea and my levels on clomid are very optimal. Where did you read that? I am curious to dig into that. You can prob get decent results with even less than that potentially.
