Clomid Therapy - Keeping Estradiol Low?

Just FYI re taking Boron I ran an experiment taking approx 10mg Boron per day this Summer. It shot up my E2 levels quite considerably (67 pmol/L to 95 pmol/L) after 10 days or so. My SHBG also rose up, from 50 to 64 nmol/L A number of Testosterone websites promote Boron for lowering SHBG //...
