7 months of Clomiphene, blood results and thoughts

[manveer1]

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.

Your results look fine now just your fsh is low .why are you using that low dose of clomid And why every second day .why no nolvadex . ? And what steroids were you using when you started having erection problems. You know you can have kids while on trt there are proven protocols out there.

I had low testosterone and erection problems, so the TRT specialist advised Clomiphene (instead of Test and HCG ). He prescribed 25mg every 2 days, so im just following his demands. 25mg every 2 days is common apparently when this is prescribed.

I did a lot of Orals only cycles when i was younger! Anavar Winstrol etc.

Aside from the erection problem (which you don't know if it's still a problem), how do you feel after all of this? What's your strength like? Bodyfat? General energy? Irritability? I'm asking pretty much for you to describe the experience you have now that you're 7 months in to this and compare it to how you were prior to seeing this TRT specialist.

[ksingh93]

Ah ok got it . Yeh thats why oral only cycles are never recommended. Do you get hard when you jerk off .? And addiction to porn also causes erection problems so if you do watch some refrain from it.

Cheers lads. I feel good now, between 3 to 6 months I had real down periods (which i read is common with Clomid) when i mean low i mean real low (something i had not experienced before), plus a LOT of irritability. However I feel fine again now. Strength is up a little I think, body fat seems the same.
And yes jerking is all good to be honest loll
