[QUOTE="Toyoda, post: 237519, member: 44547"] 43, 152 lbs, 5'6, active and eat fairly healthy (no processed sugar and gluten free). Been on Clomid for ~6 years, 25mg every 3 days. Also take zinc and vitamin D each day. Been sore, especially elbow/knee/hip joints. Tired, crash pretty hard mid afternoon. Brain fog. Feels similar to the original problems that led me to discovery the low T issue. (this is with taking the clomid/zinc/vit D). I doubled my zinc and vit d to see if that helped, no change. Sleep, I get around 7 hours a night but still feel like I didn't sleep well when I wake up. No apnea, did the testing and everything was normal. No clomid for a week, no zinc or vitamin d. I forgot my medication and went on vac for a few days, at that point I figured I would bottom out and see how the labs looked. Not what I expected: Total T - 656 ng/dl Estroidiol - 24 pg/ml SHGB - 38.3 nmol/l Albumin - 4.4 g/dl Calculated free t - 25.84nmol/l (3.94%) Calculated Bio ava T - 619.13 nmol/l (94.4%) My estrodial came down 10 points from last month (when I was taking clomid like prescribed). I was surprised to see my total T that high (residual clomid in my system or are things working like normal?). I am guessing by looking at these numbers that my symptoms are not T related? How long does clomid stay active in your system? I find the half life is 5 days, figured after 7 there wouldn't be anything there to keep the T production going. Any thoughts or ideas? Let me know if there is any missing info needed. [/QUOTE]
