First Ultra Sensitive E2 Test

Good Afternoon, Today I received my lab results that I took last week. My blood pressure was spiking (thanks for all of your help) so wanted to look at my hematocrit level and my overall testosterone. I was taking 90 mg with Clomid. I was splitting my injections 50mg/ 40mg, and taking daily...

Blood Pressure Spiking

Thank you very much for the great info. My doctor told me that clomid would not raise my overall testosterone numbers. I have already stopped the clomid. So what you think is that the rise in BP, testosterone, and hermatocrit levels could be tied to clomid?

Thanks for the reply. I’m going with daily injections of 10mg of cypionate and eliminate the daily clomid. I’m donating blood every 60 days. Hopefully my BP and hematocrit levels drop.

Thank you very much for the reply. I donated blood twice and my hematocrit is still at 55, down from 57. My cypionate dose is at 90 twice a week. I’m switching to doses of 10 everyday and drop the clomid. I’ll also going to take 5mg of daily Cialis to help.

Thank you very much for replying. My doctor put me on clomid about 6 months ago when it became harder to get HCG. I’m not planning on having children so do I really need the clomid?

Than Thank you for the input. My t levels are higher than I’d like. I’m thinking of going to daily injections. I didn’t know that Cialis can help with BP.

Thanks for the input. Was your BP high before you went to daily injections?
