I hope it goes well,give it time and dont expect miracles on day 1, it takes a while but it helped me. Do you know what your protocol is? If you dont mind me asking, what is your current T and E2 at?

I have my followup later in Feb so I will let you know. I did start taking an AI 3 times a week as my E2 was in the 40's, now its down to 28 and my T is at 835. My SHBG is high at 77.2 but I am not sure what else I can do to control that. Overall feeling ok, although libido is still average.

Dosage is 25mg (M,W,F,Sat,Sun) and 37.5 (TU, TH). I also take a variety of supplements to help control (Estradiol, SHBG, etc)

Yeah it is part of a restart. Now that my T levels are where we need them next step is to manage E2. I will do that for a few months and then see if that improves things. If it does then I will titrate down on the clomid and see if the restart worked.

Nope, no eye issues at all. Actually my overall experience with it is really positive. I am going to start an AI to manage my E2 so we will see if that changes anything. My understanding is that if you do experience eye issues the corrective course is to stop taking it.

Fingers crossed.

Thanks Vince, hopefully you are right.

So I just received my latest blood work after 6 months on Clomid and things are looking pretty good. I fell much better than I did and morning wood is back. My main concern is my libido is still on the low side, not sure why but I am thinking my E2 is having an impact on it. Anyway, let me know...

I think the improvement I am experiencing is simply a result of feeling much better than I did, prior to starting Clomid, which I believe is due to the testosterone increase. So while my libido is improving it is no where near where it was just a few years ago so that is a work in progress.

It was about 2 weeks in fact it might have been sooner because I remember thinking that the Clomid seems to be working fast on me. I have morning and nocturnal wood every night/morning now, as for strength I would rate them a 7 or 8 on a scale where a 10 actually hurts. My libido is also coming...

It definitely seems to be helping me and I am still in the dialing in process. I spoke with Dr Saya this week and he thinks there is some room for improvement, so has me slightly increasing the does twice a week to see if that will increase my T and FT, it will be interesting to see what the...

Yep, it was a typo I am taking calcium-d-glucarate.

Thanks for the input Socks. I am planning on adding Vit D on my next panel, but for now I started supplementing with it. I also started taking tongkat ali to see if that has an effect on SHBG, and am trying DIM and calcium glucarate to see what that does to my E2. I am actually feeling pretty...

Looks positive. I will give it a try. Thanks.

I agree, I am only 30 days into it so it will be interesting to see if it will last. I figure I might as well exhaust this option and if it doesn't work long term then I have other options.

Liver is in good shape, I did have elevated AST/ALT but I believe that is a result of my workout routine. I have never thought of testing vitamin d. Is that a blood test I should have?

Thanks CoastWatcher. I guess the only symptom I have is adding weight, but I couldn't say with any certainly that it has to do with Estradiol but more to do with my increased appetite. The other thing that concerns me is the high SHBG. My understanding is that the higher SHBG will lower my free...

Thanks for the welcome CoastWatcher. I guess my E2 concern stems from the fact that everything I have read says it should be between 20-30 and my free T seems to be low because of my high SHBG. I am new to all this so I could be completely incorrect on both fronts.

So after a month on Clomid (25mg a day) I have some results (old->new below) T: 185->713 ng/dL Range: 250-1100 ng/dL FT: 20.3->94.1 pg/mL Range: 35.0-155.0...
