    Clomid Experiment - Is Less Sometimes More?

    I have posted on here before, but here's the basics: * Low T last January * Clomid prescribed at 50mg/day last February * After a little over a month at 50mg/day: unimpressive Total T (went from 300s to low 500s); unimpressive LH numbers (went from 2.5 to 3.5). * Dropped down to 25mg/day for...

    Combining Clomid and HCG?

    I'm just curious about whether this might work for a subset of secondary hypogondal guys who aren't responding strongly to Clomid alone but want to maintain at least some of their natural LH production. I know TRT will shut you down, full stop. My limited understanding of HCG is that, as an...

    Is My Doctor Right?

    I went in to see my urologist yesterday. 8 months into Clomid monotherapy. Labs: Pre-TRT Total T: 362 ng/dl (250-1100) Free T: 79 pg/ml (35 - 155) LH: 2.5 mIU/mL (1.5-9.3) FSH: 1.9 mIU/mL (1.6-8.0) E2: 14 pg/ml (< or = 29) [SHBG: 28 nmol/L] (Calculated from Test + 5.2 albumin] TSH: 4.7 Began...

    Need Help Understanding Thyroid Issues and LH/Test Production

    I've posted in the Clomid forum a few times. My story is probably a typical one: initially felt very good subjectively on Clomid, gradually felt worse. Now, sex drive is mostly gone. February Baseline: * Total T - 305 * Free T - 7.9 * LH - 2.5 April, 1+ month on 50mg Clomid/day * Total T...

    Peptides: Stacking and SERMs

    Two primary questions: 1) Is there any benefit to stacking a GHRP with IGF-LR3? I am trying to understand all this stuff. I'm mainly interested in the athletic performance increase aspect, as demonstrated in a few studies (GH, injected at 2mg/day, improved anaerobic capacity significantly). I...

    Personal Case Study on Clomid Dosages

    Just if anyone's interested. There's been some discussion here about whether less is sometimes more for Clomid. In my case, that does not appear to be so. Pre-Clomid Test 1 Total: 305 Pre-Clomid Test 2 Total: 360 Free: 79.7 ng/dl E2: 14 pg/ml Initial Dosage: 50mg/day After 1 month of 50...

    Weird FSH/LH Numbers on High Dose Clomid

    Hi, all I'm 31 and have been on Clomid since late February 2016. My urologist started me at 50mg/day and said we could decide how much lower to move the dose after we met again in June. Pre-Clomid: January: Total Testosterone: 305 ng/dl (test was at noon) February : Total Testosterone...

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
