Awesome response to Clomid! But...

Although it took literally over a month to begin to "feel" the subjective results, I am now doing really well on Clomid. I've stepped down from 25 ED to 12.5 ED to 12.5 EOD, but my LH/FSH and E2 are still through the roof. Weirdly, the LH/FSH response has trended higher as I have stepped down on the Clomid dose:

Total T: 1194 (348-1197)
Free T: 27.7 (9.3-26.5) HIGH

LH: 26.8 (1.7-8.6). HIGH
FSH: 22.5 (1.5-12.4) HIGH

SHBG: 34.6

E2-Sens: 60.0 (8-35)

Any ideas about what dosage ideas I can discuss with my doctor to moderate my response a bit? Increasing amounts and frequency of Arimidex are doing nothing to bring down my E2, and I definitely have high E2 symptoms.

Thanks for any thoughts.

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.
