New doc wants to try clomid to replace old doc's HCG mono protocol that was beginning to lose its effects despite increased dosage (perhaps downregulation).
I am almost two weeks in with the following (stopped HCG cold turkey):
25mg clomid ED
0.125mg Arimidex + 200mg DIM (compounded together) on Monday and Friday
Viagra as needed
Beginning about a week into the therapy, hot flashes are occurring every 30 minutes or so. They are not severe but are very uncomfortable. I also am waking up to urinate multiple times a night, which is new for me.
Erectile strength and libido have plummeted to the extent that one night Viagra did nothing for me, although it did work the next night but I had to take a huge dose (100mg, used to taking 25) that was marginally effective.
I get labs in a couple of weeks, but wanted to see if anyone has feedback on what I could be experiencing?
Labs before starting clomid, while on 1,500ius HCG EOD: ~400 total T, ~30 E2 (sensitive assay).
