Clomiphene and my results....
This is my first post and im hoping in the near future that I can gain some knowledge and share my experiences as well, for anybody in need.
A little about me....im 43 yrs old and healthy. Im 6' 217 ibs and my bf is around 15%( would like to get to 10 by summertime). I got diagnosed w/ Low-T(under 200) a few months back and went to a specialist. We were talking about test injections but that would shut down my bodys natural production of test, which basically means I'd be forced to do the injections for the rest of my life. Instead he prescribed clomiphene....it doesnt shut down the bodys production of test, rather in shocks your body somehow into producing more of it. I take 1 pill(50mg) a day for 20 days and then cycle off for 10 days. I just finsihed my 3rd cycle and my recent test results showed my T-Levels at 500+! Ive also noticed some strength gains at the gym as well but nothing to extreme. Im still contemplating test injections (200mg per week of test c) just to get my levels up some more so i can take advantage of all the benefits asscoiated w/ higher T-Levels. Im at a cross road and im seeing my specialist at the end of Feb. Was also wondering if my doc will prescribe 75mg as opposed to the 50mg im getting now and if that would make a difference.
If anyone has any experience w/ Test C or E, it would be greatly appreciated if you could share with me.
Thanks for taking the time to read my first post,

I've done 3 cycles of Clomid and have 0 side effects. The only thing its done is raised my T-Levels.
From my understanding, test injections are the most aggressive form of TRT. Most specialists use it as a last resort. Im curious why your Dr. didnt recomend it first. My Dr. initally recomended me Adrogel and similar products, but I read a lot of reviews where patients didnt really get the results they were looking for and went to test injections for a "greater punch". I told my doctor Id rather do test injections then Androgel and he said, lets try Clomid first and if it works so so or worse we can start the test injections. If your gonna continue w/ test injections there is no reason to take Clomid......that could actually do more harm b/c test will shut down your own test production and clomid will "signal" your body to create more.
What kind of test are you on now?
He has me on test cyp. So far I have felt nothing different at all. Maybe its too soon to notice. He is not for the gels at all, He mentioned it as an option but said it was a waste of time. He likes test cyp. Like I said in another post he wants me at 600 minimum but prefers to be around 800. I am at 214 now after 12 hour fasting. That seems kind of aggressive approach to me. I mentioned 100 per week for a few weeks and go from there but he is ready to go from 200 biweekly to 200 weekly and if that's not raising it enough he will go more. My next injection is feb 20th. I will give it a few days or so and see if I notice anything, if not I may stop injections and try clomid.
from my understanding and research, you should start feeling a difference around week 2-3. 200 mg per week is very tolerable by most healthy men and most athletes use 400-1000 per week. Give yourself some time......you can also start doing certain exercises at the gym that will spark your body to produce test: squats, deadlifts, benchpress, dumbell military press and dumbell leg lunges, etc.....you dont need a lot of weight just high intensity. Also your diet should be in check as well......you can go to you tube and search test building foods
I am interested in finding out more about clomid. you can read a little about me on the other clomid post. I just had my first 200mg injection feb 6th. my doc hasn't mentioned anything as far as sides or shutting me down. if I want to try clomid it looks like I will self administer.
