brother how are you? how long after the frequent urination went away?Hey everyone,
I'm the guy who crashed his estradiol with an OTC AI by the name of Elim1nate. I have never been on exogenous test or any of the sort. I took the drug because it was recommended to me (by a PhD in physiology, nonetheless) and crashed my estradiol. I crashed it in March and still have symptoms. I urinate a lot, brain fog like crazy, sore joints, lost muscle, look less "full", can't achieve a pump, I have huge fatigue, and loss of libido and erectile dysfunction. I'm 22 @ 160 lbs. Used to be completely healthy and have a huge libido. A major mistake in not doing research on what I take has led me here
Testosterone levels have been at 600-700 ng/dL since April, when I took my first labs. Free T has been in the middle along with SHBG.
In April, Estradiol was at 21, but on the non-sensitive assay. 17 pg in the sensitive assay. I just received labs at 700 T and estradiol is <20 on the non-sensitive assay. I believe my estradiol is still low! But even though my estradiol is low, I have developed Gyno in my right breast. The nipple is puffy and looks more protruded than my left nipple. I also have burning nipples from time to time. How is this possible?
I need help, guys. I can't keep living in this fatigue and erectile dysfunction. Morning wood is weak and erections without viaga are soft. I haven't gotten better yet, really.
A doctor recommended Clomid treatment for me back in April but I declined out of fear of side effects. But now, I bought Clomid to raise my testosterone which will in turn convert to Estradiol. I was thinking of a protocol of either 6 mg/MWF or 12.5mg/MWF. I'm not trying to get on a yo-yo of estradiol levels, so I also bought Arimidex JUST IN CASE. I know Clomid has side effects, but at this low level, I think it would actually raise my libido and erections.
I need your help guys. Should I take the Clomid 6mg/MWF or 12 mg? Should I even take it all or keep playing the waiting game? I don't want to take test because I don't want my HPTA to shut down when I have perfectly good levels. I believe Clomid would be the safest route to raise my test and therefore my Estrogen... What do you think?
