Tips for Clomid use.

[Cylon357]

Hi All, been on this treatment for 2 years now, some recent changes (however I did go on mh honeymoon and was jet lagged when I took this test). I'm asking my docs the below questions too, but I find people here to be a lot more knowledgeable.

- My current Clomiphene dosage is 25mg twice a week, shall I increase this? As my LH and Testosterone have lowered recently.
- We had my Oestradiol controlled at quarter of a Exemestane tablet every 6 days. However it randomly spiked in past month. What should my new dose be and how often? Also how long shall I do this new dose for as we don't want it to crash. Bit confused how it randomly raised after being stable for so long and started to experience a tonne of sides.

This is for fertility, right? You probably ought to up the dose of clomid to 3x per week, or 12.5 6x per week. Either way, clomid is an annoying little molecule that has so much potential on paper but falls short in real life.

I would probably just resign myself to the fact that estrogen is going to be a problem with clomid. It's the zuclomiphene part that makes it most problematic, IMO.

I did finally switch to test (cream) and hcg for my hrt, if that tells you anything about my real thoughts on clomid and encomiphene.

Have you looked at HMG?

Yes for fertility. Thanks for the advice.
What you thinking regarding exemestane dosage and for how long? Waiting on my docs reply.

Sounds good! What's HMG sorry?

exemestane... I have no experience with that compound directly, but I think it compares to arimidex at 1mg arimidex is ROUGHLY the same as 25mg exemestane. But, you did have a working dose that isn't working anymore, so maybe the comparison isn't relevant... We just need to start with your last working dose: 6.25mg every six days.

If that was a good dose, I'm going to say try microdosing it at 1/8 tab twice a week. Something like 3.125mg per dose. You will almost certainly need to make a liquid with vodka or any other 80+ proof liquor to achieve that small a dose. But, it works and the more frequent smaller dose might allow you to keep things in check better. I think that is where I would start. The more frequent dose will prevent the peaks and valleys you were probably experiencing at 1/4 tab every 6 days.

Make the math easy on yourself and use 8ml vodka to 1 25mg tablet. Break the tablet in half, drop it in a dropper bottle with the vodka, shake (or just let it sit overnight), then dose at 1ml for 1/8 tab. Be sure to shake it up real well before drawing your dose. You should just have filler particles floating around but maybe exemestane doesn't dissolve as well in alcohol as adex.
