    Why Clomid Fails: The Zuclomiphene Threshold

    Since both Clomid isomers are excreted primarily (50%) via the gut Cal-D-Glucarate shouldn't have much affect since it works at the renal(kidney) level to increase glucuronidation of different chemicals/hormones. A mere 8% of clomid excretion appears to take place in the kidneys. It certainly...

    Part One: Clomid Introduction - Selective estrogen receptor modulator, which occupies e2 receptors acting as a weak estrogen - Two parts/isomers, 30-50% zuclomiphene(estrogenic) and 50-70% enclomiphene (non-estrogenic) (1) - Inhibits negative feedback of e2 primarily at the...

    Need Advice! 23 Year old male

    Interesting, how'd they reach that conclusion? I've assumed from my reading that Docs usually rely on actual response to dosing(clomid/hcg challenge stuff) to genuinely determine primary vs secondary.

    Is Clomid working?

    Not sure if it was a typo, but "calcium gluconate" is not indicated in estrogen management. It's calcium-d-glucarate that Saya and many others typically recommend. On e2, I've heard another Doc mention a 10:1 ration as the minimum they shoot for between free t:e2. So right now you're toeing...

    Is Clomid working?

    On SHBG levels, indeed liver issues or diet can play a role there. One study on men found an inverse relationship between Vitamin D levels and SHBG. Have you Vit. D checked on next panel. On increased appetite, could be related to Clomiphene's effect on various brain regions that regulate...
