Clomiphene citrate is safe and effective for long-term management of hypogonadism.

I did the clomid stimulation test like 10 years ago. It did bring my test levels from around 300 to 700ish. This was after 2 weeks @50mg x2 a day I believe. I had vision problems though. I might be willing to try it again at a much lower dose like 25mg EOD or less.

Here is a blurb from another site that described the protocol.

A Clomid stimulation test is a standard protocol that has been used by
endocrinologists for years to test whether a man's hypogonadism is
primary or secondary. If the test is successful (i.e., if your T rises
significantly), that means that all of the organs in the feedback loop
(the testicles, pituitary and hypothalamus) are healthy and functional,
but for some unknown reason the system has gone dormant. A
successful test result also means that you are a good candidate for
HCG or Clomid, which in contrast to standard TRT, stimulate your
body to produce its own T. See:

Clomid (Clomiphene Citrate) doesn't lower estrogen; it "blocks" it.
Estrogen attaches to the receptors in the hypothalamus and that
signals that there's enough T in your blood, so your body reduces
its T production. Somehow the hypothalamus reacts to E as well
as T. Clomid attaches to these receptors but doesn't act like E.

I did a Clomid stimulation test in November 1999. Dr. Shippen gave me
100 mg/day (one 50 mg tablet in the morning and one in the evening
before bed) for a week. I took a blood test on the morning after the
last day. My test was successful, in that, my T went from about 200 to
600.

Clomid is most often used to promote fertility in women. Therefore, if
you research Clomid, the vast majority of the literature you find will
discusses the use of Clomid by women rather than men. In fact, when I
went to fill the prescription, the pharmacist was very leery and asked
me a lot of questions before dispensing the drug.

that was a rather high dose, for a rather short duration. it must have been done more like a stimulation-test, than actual long term therapy. but good to hear that it worked for you.

so what treatment are you on since the clomid-test?
