Clomid -- Estrogen blocker or Estrogen booster?

[zerodarkthirty]

I've been on TRT for about a year now and for the last 2 months, my doc has had me on a low dose of Clomid (.25 EOD) in combination with HCG and test cyp with an AI.

Bone-head question: is the Clomid sending my E2 way up or is it suppressing it (hence when I take my AI, I crash my E2)?

Thanks!

You're taking .25 of clomid? Is that a typo?

[zerodarkthirty]

Sorry. 25 mg

i would ditch the clomid...imo clomid is really only useful for fertility or restoring your pituitary to make your own testosterone.

Clomid should raise estrogen, if it raises testosterone. Its not an AI. HCG and clomid should raise T and E (if they work) and AI would be used to try and stop some of the conversion of T to E.

Yes, I'm stopping the clomid. I saw no positive benefits.

its actually a synthetic estrogen and if you are not trying to restore test levels you shouldn't take it. I wonder if it shows up on bw ?
