Dosing clomid two or three times daily

I have read some opinions that the zuclomiphene ester somehow makes the hpta more sensitive though admittetly if that is true, we need to to know how much is too much. The guys taking clomid are usually doing this to preserve fertility. Its either using a serm like clomid or doing trt with hcg...

Dosing clomid two or three times daily

I believe the minimum effective dosage is twice weekly 12.5mg which is 25mg a week. By keeping the dose low the zuclomiphene side effects are obviously smaller. By taking the clo.id three times daily which keeps the enclomiphene level stable there might be a possibility of better results. I...

Dosing clomid two or three times daily

Hi guys, I was wondering whether dividing a daily dosage in 2 or 3 dosages would improve clomids effectiveness and reduce the side effects of the zuclomiohene ester. Enclomiphene has a half life of about 8 hours whereas the zuclomiphene has a much longer half life. I remember reading that...

3 month TRT lab results

Furthermore as an example, an E reading of 20 with 400 testosterone is not the same as 20 for E with an 1000 reading for testosterone. Ratio is important. There is no magic 22 for E. I don't know who made that up.

3 month TRT lab results

I would stop the arimidex as Vince mentioned. Higher estrogen levels could really help you. Estrogen is very important for vasodilation and bone health. It also increases certain neurotransmitters.

New tests, great labs but still feel horrible

Response to an old thread here, but maybe Rude is still around. His T4 levels are just above minimum. Maybe hypothyroid? Would explain a lot of things.
