30 Days on Clomid Bloodwork Results / TRT Prescribed
Guys,
Wanted to get some feedback.. before everyone jumps my butt and tells me that being on Clomid is not TRT.. I get that already! From what I understand, Clomid works by blocking estrogen at the pituitary. The pituitary sees less estrogen, and makes more LH. More LH means that the Leydig cells in the testis make more testosterone. So from what my TRT doctor told me in my initial consultation was that he wanted to put me on Clomid for 30 days, to see if my pituitary gland is functioning properly and how to start treatment.
I wanted to show the results of the bloodwork that just came in today for being on 25mg/day Clomid and DHEA for 30days. You'll notice some gaps in the chart, but that just means it was the only panels I was screened for on that lab.

Obviously I feel better.. a lot better! I had no idea that just being on Clomid can do that. I have a follow-up in 2 weeks with Dr. Saya and I am hoping that we start a treatment plan to get me in 900-1000 range. Is that a realistic expectation? What I am hoping is that he just doesn't keep me on the Clomid and call it TRT?? What are you guys thoughts about this and what is the long term cons on being on Clomid if it comes up?
Cheers!
