[QUOTE="Esq, post: 70455, member: 15250"] I had my second consult with Dr. Saya yesterday and wanted to update this thread. In reviewing my last round of labs, he was happy with my response to clomid so far (other than the elevated estradiol, which is being treated with anastrozole now). He believes there still is a chance I'll feel some positive effects once estradiol comes down and stabilizes. The anastrozole may also bring my elevated SHBG down some. - Regarding my consistently high DHEA, he doesn't believe it is a cause for concern or something we need to try to treat in any way. He said I'm just a "high DHEA guy." DHT also is elevated, but is consistent with elevated testosterone numbers so no real cause for concern. All other numbers are in a good place. What really caught his attention was cortisol. While each of the four tests were in range, I had a huge drop (like 80%) in cortisol from my 8am reading to my noon reading. Most of my symptoms seem to manifest each day late morning and carry through into the afternoon, and I tend to be at my best early in the morning. The steep drop off in cortisol could explain this. - The plan for now is to continue clomid at 12.5mg ED, anastrozole at 0.25mg EOD, vitamin D3, stinging nettle, and then add in an adrenal adaptogen containing rhodiola, ashwagandha, and licorice root to help with the cortisol drop. - We will retest testosterone, estradiol, and maybe a few other things in 5 weeks and reevaluate. The longer-term plan, once estradiol is stabilized at a good place, will be to titrate down and off the clomid to see if my numbers remain higher than before or whether I return to pre-clomid numbers.
