Any Success with Combining Clomid with TRT?

Have any guys had success? Anyone have bloodwork showing elevated LH levels while on this combination?

Also, does anyone know how long LH levels take to recover after cessation of TRT (while still on clomid).

I was prescribed androgel with clomid a few years back. Felt actually really great for many months on 4pumps a day of 1.62 androgel and 50mg clomid 3x week.

Switched to injections and have never been able to feel great for more than a couple weeks so trying androgel and clomid again now.
 
I've been on 12 mg three times weekly for about four months now and my most recent blood work did not show an increase of LH, <2.
I'm going to give it another few months to see if it does makes a difference.
I am taking it for atrophy of the gonads and it seems to have stabilized.
Again we'll see in a few months.
 
I did start up Clomid @ 25mg EOD back in June (while remaining on TRT). Tested 9 weeks in and still sterile. My balls felt a bit different. Definitely looser and a bit bigger (maybe just wishful thinking?). Toward the end my energy and motivation dropped and a certain kind of muscle soreness developed as well. I have no proof that clomid caused these things, but I am behaving as though it did.

Next stop for me...drop the trt then add hcg then clomid.#1 Priority right now is making a baby.

As far as your question re LH reactivation, my limited understanding is that many will test somewhere in the 6-8 week range to see how they are responding to therapy. Good luck!

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.
