FAI = 79.1 (range 23 - 130)
SHBG = 35.6 (range 10 - 50 nmol/L)
estradiol = 77.5 (range <40 pg/mL)
Since my estradiol was high, he started me on 0.5 mg arimidex, twice weekly. I still take 25 mg of clomid daily for 25 days then 5 days off. Now that my son was born, he is gona switch me over to injections next month but he is still fighting me on taking HCG. I don’t think he is gona budge so I have been in contact with Defy and can get a HCG script through them.
My overall health is night and day different - mental clarity, energy and libido are back to normal. Also broke through a plateau at the gym and started making strength gains steadily over the last three months.
While I know Clomid therapy isn’t for everyone, it has been a great start to my TRT. For anyone with low T, on the fence with injections, pellets or cream, ask your dr about starting off with clomid. My insurance company won’t cover shit but with GoodRx I pay $4 at Walmart for a two month supply.
