Clomiphene stimulation test

[Guest guest]

Dear Members,

I posted previously regarding possible problems with hypogonadism. I also have

low adrenals and low thyroid.

I was referred for a Clomiphene stimulation test. I will need to take 50 mg of

clomiphene for 7 days and then have blood tests for LH,FSH,SHBG, total

testosterone, estradiol and prolactin to derermine if i have hypogonadism. I

read that this is a gold standard test for the diagnosis.

My question is regarding any possible side effects of taking clomiphene and just

experiences of folks who have taken it.

I am presently on 8.5 mg of prendisolone and can not tolerate any thyroid

medications due to continuing low adrenal problems.

I would really appreciate any input.

Thanks in advance,

Mark

If your on prendisolone for your low Adreanls this is very hard on your liver

and 1mg. of it is = to 4 mgs of HC Cortef. You would do better on up to 30mgs a

day total of Cortef or Medrol read this link a FAQ's about this problem.

and do read the STTM's web site about Thyroid and Arsenals it's full of good

info. I never did Clomiphene but all should be good if you don't have any sides

one bad one is seeing floaters in your eyes.
