Man I am so glad I found this post wheeew so a year ago I started TRT mind you I use the Veterans hospital at the time I was like 290 lbs and going thru divorce and all, so I had them check my T level and it came back 20 which I fell was wrong but what ever so I go to the urologist start the TRT after a few months get it up to the 700 range and been great all this time well old doc retires new young doc comes in and had my labs done and my dumb ass had took a shot 3 days before the labs so he said my level was like 1900 YIKES!!! so we talk and he suggest clomid and i say ok so about the 4th and 5th week I fell like strait ass cant get an erection and have no sex drive.
I call the doc and try talking to him and he gets all upset and defensive but myself say bump that and started back my shots and back to normal.
I know he said my estrogen levels we on the high side of normal I usually take a natural estrogen blocker not sure how much it helps
well again great post
Just an FYI
When I did a while ago.
clomid at 12.5mg 3x a week took my LH just above range thus no more would be needed or have any benefit because that's its job. With LH at the top its then up to the testes to perfrom. Also this allows the SHBG and E2 to not increase as much (I assume not a DR).
I think too many start clomid at a high does instead of low and watching the LH to see if more is needed.
MY Euro at the time wanted me to take 25mg daily.
If your shbg and e2 get high that will affect anyone.
I personally struggled with Clomid as well. My T sky rocketed from around 300 up to 1100. But the issue was that my estrogen also sky rocketed. I was literally insane, until I finally sucked it up and got on TRT. Clomid also jacked up my vision, still to this day...
