Hi all,
Condensed "TL;DR" version of my question: has anyone who has been on clomid to treat secondary hypogonadism tried a low dose of mesterolone (proviron) to reduce the SHBG increase ensuing from using clomid? If so, can you tell me about your experience?
Context/long version: I have...
I was on trt for few years and got switched to clomid mono therapy because me and my gf wanted kids.
I was on clomid for almost a year and we are having our first baby on January.
After being so long on clomid I wanted to see if I could be completely without trt.
I stopped taking clomid and...
I've been on clomid mono for roughly a year now, and been trying to quit it. Today I found this study:
Hormonal effects of an antiestrogen, tamoxifen, in normal and oligospermic men - PubMed
So it seems that clomid might actually hurt my ability to be without trt? After all I'm trying to help...
Wanted to preface this by saying if you are searching the boards for crashed estrogen recovery and some reassuring stories of recovery, I'm on the same boat right now and can say you will be OK. Having strong mindset to overcome this will make this ride easier, I promise you. As far as the...
Can I use Clomid and HCG while staying on TRT to recover fertility? I would HMG later on as we get closer to IVF. About a year from now. If so, at what dosage should I use the Clomid and HCG? Thank you in advance. I’ve been on TRT since the George W Bush Administration with no HCG.
I have hypogonadism. I'm 22 years old with a total T level of 294.5. LH and FSH are also low normal. My doctor put me on clomiphene citrate to try and get my testosterone level up, so I took it for 6 weeks and it got my level up to 638, but I don't feel any different at all. Still tired, lack of...
After 6 years of self diagnosed TRT, I'm in the final stages of coming off. I just finished 10 weeks of clomiphene citrate and am wondering what to expect now that PCT is over.
Here is PCT bloods (Quest diagnostics) around 6 weeks into PCT:
Will testosterone sharply decline below baseline now...

Hi everyone. I decided to post here because I am at my witts end with the issues I've been having. For the past year I've had low testosterone. Testing at 348, 327, and now 298 ng/dL over 3 tests the past year. I live a healthy lifestyle, I go to the gym daily and love weightlifting. Diet is...
Around 3 years ago I was diagnosed with type 2 hypogonadism probably because of my experimentation with AAS for muscle building purposes...
However, I want to say that even prior to doing any AAS my Total testosterone numbers were already on the low end of normal 270 / 300 but my doctor at the...
Started a new thread so someone can benefit from a google search.
Here are results 6 weeks into 25mg clomiphene citrate ED as part of coming off of 6 year self administered TRT. I was hoping to have Total T and Free T be higher since LH is so high. All numbers will go down once clomid is out of...
Hey guys new member here!
So I finished up my clomid a little over a week ago and got bloods done. I know it was too soon, but I felt really shitty.
Estradiol-Ultrasensative 56 (<or29 pg/ml)
SHBG 54 (10-50 Nmol/L)
Total test 1526 (250-1100)
Free test 241 (35-155)
I feel pretty shitty...

So I noticed that my medication, whether it be testosterone, clomiphene, or anastrozole Always has a discard date of around four months from the time I received it in the mail. I found this strange because typical pharmacy medication is usually good for two or three years. So I gave My HRT...
Just wondering if there would be any benefit (or harm) with a once weekly 25mg dose of Clomid? I've been off test (80mg test-cyp weekly) for over 3 months now. I'm feeling better (although my desire for sex is quite low)...After stopping the test, I initially started CLomid 12.5mg daily then eod...
Hi all,
I was on TRT for 3y and decided to come off, mainly to test my fertility after likely being primary (never truly diagnosed but seems likely based on labs). Turns out I am, at least on clomid, however I feel like clomid has ruined my cardiovascular health. I started off on 25mg and my...
Currently on clomid + HCG protocol from my urologist. HCG 1000iu 2x week. My first dose of HCG went great, almost euphoric high a few hours after and felt good. But my 2nd dose 3 days later I didn’t feel anything besides extreme bloating to the point where it affected my asthma. I was having low...
I’m a 45 yo male, 150 lbs. Prior to starting any testosterone therapy my labs in January 2018 were in range (Total T 601 280-1100ng/dl, Free T 10.43 1.9-27ng/dl), but I wanted to see if increasing testosterone levels would help to improve fatigue. I always had a high sex drive, with decent...

31 years old started self administering trt in June 2016 (Almost 6 years ago). Shouldn't have started TRT looking back at lab value I got from just doing one blood test (that was after a bad nights sleep). ~450ng/dL with above average Free T cause my SHBG is lowish (wasn't measured on this lab...
I am throwing this question to the vast amount of knowledge on this board. My last Test-Cyp injection was February 4th (75mg, shallow IM, which I had been injecting weekly for less than 2 months). I had started low dose clomid (25mg eod) but stopped that 4 weeks prior to scheduled blood work...
I'm on day 4 of using 300IU everyday of ovidac HCG. The plan is to do this for 2 weeks then start clomid. is 300IU enough for kickstart before the PCT begins? What dosage should I use?
I just came back from a week long vacation where I skipped a weeks worth (2) of injections for the first time since starting self TRT of 5 years.
Here is what the PCT plan:
1) 5 days after last Test E injection start protocol.
2) HCG 500IU per day for 2 weeks.
3) Then, 25mg Clomid for 1...
Are SERMs safe and effective for the treatment of hypogonadism in men?

There are a lot of different protocols I am finding about coming off TRT. I wish there was a straight forward plan. If you know of a good one please share with me. Here is what I plan so far:
1) 5 days after last Test E injection start protocol.
2) HCG 500IU per day for 2 weeks.
3) Then, 25mg...
Just throwing another question to the masses. I am currently into my third week of Clomid only, post a two month (or so) duration of self administered TRT (75mg weekly test-e). I started a week after my last injection with 12.5mg of Clomid daily (week 1) then upped it to 25mg daily from week 2...
Hi All,
So basically I am on Clomiphene treatment to boost my testosterone (before I started 1.5 years ago my Testosterone was 11.5 and my LH 3.0 and oestradiol 156). I have sent the below to my private specialist.
Could the rise in prolactin explain why my Testosterone went down so much since...
I’ve been taking enclomiphene for a while right now and it just can’t compare to Clomid for me. Clomid bounces me back so quickly and my balls get huge. And clomiphene feels like it does next to nothing for me. I have some clomiphene on hand but it expired in 2020. Is it still good to use? I’m...
I'm attempting an HPTA restart, in the past when I used to cycle, the norm was to take Nolvadex and Clomid together. I've had pretty good success with that but I haven't done that in years. I'm seeing a lot of people suggest and clomiphene only when they decide to attempt a restart. I'm...
Hi All-
Long time lurker, first time poster. My wife and I have a healthy 9 year old who was conceived 4 months after a contest cycle (my count was over 200M). I've been on 100-250mgs of test a week, no more competing, but no HCG. Out of the blue, we decided to try for a 2nd kid.
I got off...
Decided I’m done with TRT. Don’t think I should’ve been on it in the first place. Before I hopped on, my lowest total T was only 370 and my Free Test was 25.1, the literal highest end of the range. It’s created just as many issues for me as it’s solved, so I’m done.
Defy is helping me PCT, and...
I was diagnosed with secondary hypogonadism in my early 30s (I'm 40 now), and went on TRT around the age of 32. Pre-TRT T level was 220 (although I probably crashed it lower than it should have been by cutting all fat out my diet, but even at age 27 I think it was only 300 or so). After some...
