Clomid question

**Buffboy** · 02-21-2013, 12:39 AM

My doctor put me on clomid 50mg for low testosterone . I'm 32 and my testosterone was at 306. I took it for about 3 weeks my testosterone felt higher at first but then lower. I lost morning erections right away and I should have stopped after the first 3 days but kept going like a dumbass. Also gave me trouble getting erections during sex, tried to have sex with a girl but couldn't stay hard and that really messed with me mentally. My testicles grew while I was on it but it shrank my penis. I have been off it for 5 weeks now and penis is still a little shrunken, I lost some muscle and put on fat and just a week or two ago started getting morning erections again but they are not nearly as hard as they were before clomid and I have trouble getting erections and keeping them now. Has this ever happened to anyone before or does anyone know how to fix this? I'm down in the dumps and I just want to get back to where I was before clomid I felt way better than I do now even with low testosterone and could get erections easy compared to now. Any kind of advice would help. Thanks!

Find another doctor.

Did he prescribe an AI with it?

No ai with it. Should I start taking one?

No, I personally don't think an AI plus clomid is a good treatment plan.

What I would do is talk to the doctor (if you bother going back to them) about lowering the dose to 25mg every other day or 12.5 mg per day. 50 mg per day is a huge huge dose. You were likely maximizing side effects at such a large dose, unnecessarily.

But in reality, if you are pursuing some form of HRT you need a new doctor - a true expert in male HRT.

clomid messes lots of people up. i did 25 mg eod and after 6 weeks it messed me up too. You need full bw and a good doc.

Thank you all so much for the advice. Just curious jasondd1 what did you end up doing to get back on track n did you recover back to normal?

Doc put me on 200 mg test cream daily(2 weeks ago). Clomid did raise test to 590 total but everything else tanked. I get retested in 4-5 weeks. Take a look at this thread for boners http://forums.steroid.com/showthread...y#.USameVezlCc

Cool man thanks I'll check out that link!

so does anyone here know or have heard of anyone where clomid has successfully been used to replace standard TRT protocols.

Im thinking of going that route due to the recent studies supporting it in the last couple years that have come out, but the actual experiences are kind of putting me off!
