Guest guest Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 , I will try my best to share clearly. I have been on Clomid for close to 6 months and I feel great. I tried gels, patches and shots, but nothing kept me as steady with good T levels and symptom-free as Clomid. In switching from TRT, it did take about 5 months to " wake up " my pituitary to work again. (Clomid works by engaging the hypothalmus to tell the pituitary to make more LH, whether it needs it or not - sort of a work around). This wait was a real heartache, but looking back well worth it. Obviously, you must be secondary and have testis that can work if encouraged more. The first time I went on it cold (without prior TRT), it took about 4 weeks to kick in... My dosage is to switch between 25 mgs. and 50 mgs. every other day. I have found on levels at 50 mgs. 3x week or higher, for me, I feel amped and juiced beyond belief. My doctor at a leading teaching hospital in Boston is not concerned at all about the long-term effects of the medication, given how long some women have been on it for breast cancer issues. I also have NEVER experienced any eye issues or " floaters " . I owe my life to Christ, but high up on the list are my doctor and Clomid. I can't tell you how remarkable I feel and what a drastic experience I have had with symtom reversal. It is sad to me that there is not more research out there (but there won't be because it is a generic/off-patent and a thus cheap drug - no money to be made for drug cos. to research a cheap drug!) and also sad that more doctors don't pursue this route if all other methods fail. With any drugs there can be side effects (like floaters/eye issues), but I haven't experienced any. I do know that you cannot and should not stop this drug cold, as it will really mess you up. When coming off, you need to really taper gradually and not shock the system (I believe that experienced this, not too long ago). Many blessings and let me know either here or via PM if you want to discuss further. Obviously, I see it as a lifesaver and can' trave about it enough... Blessings, Bill > > Hi there, > > I am curious about Climid. Can someone share his experience with it explaining the transition from HRT and/or HCG to Climd only? Perhaps it is the best drug to take as I never was seriously diagnosed. > I know HCG 50 unit X3 week (Jump started my balls+ 1/2 pack of Androgel works great for now). > Climid works on teh Thyroid right? > > __________________________________________________ > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 I went to my endo, which then sent me to a urologist again. I have no sperm, and my wife and I are wanting to have a baby. I was on 60mg TRT injections biweekly. Then my urologist switched me to Clomid 50mg every day for 3 months. The urologist checked my Estradoil which as 12, Testosterone was 1131. He said that the testosterone was to high. At the 3 month mark, he will recheck my testosterone. I have been on Clomid for little over a month...like a month and 7 days. I have had hardly any erections(maybe 5), no stamina, no energy. NOTHING!!! I then went back to my urologist, which ran my Testosterone and it was 536. So they told me to continue on the clomid. How long will it take Clomid to help me. We cannot have children, like this!!! I told my wife if this continue for 3-6 months and no results than I will quit and go back to my INJECTIONS!!! Then we will not have a child. My sanity is more important than a child. -Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
