I will start with positive's..
#1 - It made my libido VERY high (almost a problem high) and a good side affect of that was massive loads.
#2 - I did respond with over range LH and total T numbers in the middle upper..
I tried clomid for a few different periods one of them being 4 months.. 25MG EOD..
Bloodwork will change over time since many hormones are being affected and bloods at 3 weeks vs 3 months may look entirely different..
CONS
#1 - It will drive your E2 way outta range.. Mine was 3 times the top of normal range.
#2 - If you respond your total T will raise but like most in my case my Free T hardly raised since clomid is well known to raise your SHBG and that directly affects Free T.
#3 - It made me moody and emotional.
#4 - It can give you permanent eye damage ( I didn't have this )
BTW - My LH was over 12 where top of range was 8.. Maybe I could have dropped the dose and had more positive results.
Needless to say Total testosterone went up 50% but my free T barely moved and likely why I didn't feel any better using it.. (minus the libido that is)
If I was to recommend a trial I would start at 12mg EOD and get blood work after 3 weeks and again at 3 months for starters..
