I would have to dig up the labs but I know both free T and SHBG were in range. They could have been better, but they didn't raise any flags. I believe I felt less than optimal because my Estrogen was 10. Some of the studies Ive seen showed 12.5mg of enclomiphene to be more effective at raising T and obviously didnt impact estrogen as badly. Its definitely a superior drug. I have no idea outside of politics that its not available to Dr.s yet. Its simply the one better compund of two in Clomid.
