Hi all,
To give an update, I had my second appointment with the Andrologist on Monday.
I requested the least invasive option - Clomid. I was initially prescribed a 50mg EOD prescription, but I requested for this to be at least lowered to 25mg EOD. I have heard reports that anything higher increases the chances of ramping up E2 and or SHBG. I particularly want to avoid increasing the latter. I may cut down the pills further and do 12.5mg EOD
Before I begin the treatment, I first want to properly address existing issues with my Gut. I will be starting an elimination diet and testing for SIBO and fructose malabsorption
Even if the gut protocol does not increase my T, at least I can then strike it off as a causal factor. Aside from that, any gut healing I imagine will also be beneficial to negate any gastric side-effects from the Clomid
I will update with further progress soon. In the meantime, if anyone has any further suggestions on Clomid and/or dealing with Gut problems, I would be all ears!
Thanks in advance
