7 months of Clomiphene, blood results and thoughts
Due to erection problems I had to quit taking any steroids a few years ago. With this treatment I am getting my morning wood back finally after losing it for years, however cannot see my partner as she is high risk of covid and has to stay at home so I cant really tell if my erection problems have gone. Will be starting Cialis 2.5mg a day when I can see her again.
I emailed many Endocronoligists but my experience in UK (might be different in USA) was that they do not know anywhere near as much as TRT specialists do (luckily I found a great one who prescribed the below) in regards to helping guys who are coming off steroids. I chose not to do TRT because I am planning on having kids within a year. I received a lot of help on this forum 7 months ago, so thank you all very much :).
I have been on 25mg Clomiphene every 2 days for 7 months and started Arimidex in August 0.25mg every 2 days as my Oestrogen went too high. Currently not taking Arimidex as my bloods show I dont need it currently, however I am quiting arimidex as it is too harsh on my bones. Instead I will start DIM to counter Oestrogen when I need it. For the first time ever my hair is falling out, so they tested my DHT.
- Any thoughts on my blood results below?
- I have an appointment with my TRT specialist soon, anything I should ask him about?
- You will see a decrease in some of the results, this will be because when I went on holiday for around 3 week's I forgot to take my medication with me. I also stopped ZMA 3 months ago but restarting this week.
- For the SHGB on the blood test form it said ""From the 16th October, SHBG results will be approximately 18% lower than previous, because of restandardisation of the Assay".
- Currently taking Vitamin D, Garlic and Cayenne Pepper tablet, Boron (3mg), restarting ZMA.
