Clomid and Gyno

[econnolly]

I recently transitioned from taking Clomid to Testosterone. While on the Clomid I noticed increased nipple sensitivity and also tissue build up around my nipples. Does anyone know if this is common with Clomid and if so will it go away now that I have transitioned off?

Thanks

Welcome to the forum.

I've never taken Clomid but was under the impression that it blocked estrogen sensitive receptors in the breast tissue and did a good job of preventing gyno regardless of how much estradiol was circulating in the blood. Hopefully others with more knowledge will expound upon my response.

What was your dose?
It seems to be common practice that clomid is routinely overdosed causing estrogen issues for many guys.....

Excellent post...most always overdosed which causes all manner of E problems.

Similar thing happened to me on Clomid, and I was not not a high does just 15mg per day. Since stopping Clomid and switching to TRT, and also being a lot more aggressive with anastrozole, the burning and swollen feel are gone.

My clomid dose was 12.5 mg per week. I was on .125 mg of anastrozole 3 times per week but then stopped once I began testosterone 2 weeks ago. My doctor wanted to prescribe me an AI but since it didn't help my sympotoms previously we went with tomaxifen 10 mg daily to help with the gyno.

Strange thing is my estrodiol went down during this time from 32 to 24 while on the clomid/anastrozole.
