Levels after Clomid for 3 months

Clint Lovelace · Mar 16, 2014

I got my results back this morning (they were uploaded to my patient portal with Labcorp). I see the doctor on Friday. The range was 348-1197 and my level was 495. He also only tested my Hematocrit and my level was 50.2 and the range was 37.5-51.

Before I went to this doctor (4th one) on December 23rd my last blood test showed my T level at 340 and the range was 298 to 1200.

So to me yes it sounds like it went up a great deal from 340 to 495 but the range on this test started much higher at 348. Thoughts? As I posted in another thread I have been feeling worse with the Clomid and am really hoping to get the injections on Friday. Androgel was what my first doctor tried but my levels went slightly up then dropped.

How much clomid were you taking and how frequently? Did your doctor not test LH or FSH?

Clint Lovelace · Mar 17, 2014

I was taking 50 mg once a day. Did this for 3 months. And no, LH and FSH were not tested. Only total test and the Hematocrit.

It seems like you are not very responsive to clomid. I went from 350 to 680 on 12.5 mg/day. Regardless, I didn't feel much if any better in regards to mood, energy, libido, etc.

Yeah I have seen no positive changes in mood, energy, libido, erections, muscle fatigue, weight, etc. I just hope my doctor does not see this and think oh its working great...when in fact I don't think its doing enough. I want injections.
