Transition from Clomid bridge into cycle

ad

I've been taking clomid while off cycle to boost my test levels. It's worked great. I'm taking 50mg/day and my test levels rose from baseline 500 to 1200. I had blood work done a month later to ensure the test level was stable and it was at 1200 the second time as well. I also use a little AI to keep the estro in check. my question is, how should I come off clomid when i'm ready to cycle again. i'm planning on doing a test E only cycle. Should I let the clomid clear my system? I was thinking that if I stop taking clomid at my first shot, it will clear my system by the time the test kicks in.

Androxal will eventually be approved. It is a single isomer version of clomid, which has fewer side effects for men. Clinical trials have been conducted for extended periods of time, upwards of several years. Virtually everyone returns to baseline after cessation.

Some theorize you can take clomid while on cycle to maintain testicular function, but I don't believe any clinical trials have demonstrated this.

I run 25mg of clomid every day I'm not on cycle. I don't get any sides from it, and it works well.

Yes I've read up on Androxal. It's been in the approval stages for so long. I wonder if it will ever get approved.

I can't see it making any difference on when you stop taking the clomid when you start injecting test its gonna suppress hpta wether you stopped clomid a week before or a week after I take 50 mg clomid Ed with my trt and can't say it's had any effect on test levels my trt is 200mg test c for trt and 100 mg deca per week for anemia clomid 50 mg per day hcg 1000 mcg 3 times a week for fertility I did have to adjust my ai dose with the clomid crashed my estro had bloods drawn ai was aromasin 12.5 e3d had to back of
To e5d I know ai sounds high but my body pimps out estro like no Tommorrow apparently

38 years old, 185lbs, 12% BF. Cycled two test only cycles ten years ago and one test only cycle which ended last October. Did the normal PCT and it worked well, got blood work done a month after PCT and my Test level was back to it's usual baseline level of 500. Currently taking 4 IU of GH and 50 mgs of clomid per day. Got a full blood panel done one month after i began this protocol and then again another month later. Both times blood work came back almost identical as far as test, IGF1 and estro. Posted blood work on here. Am going to start another test cycle in a month and wanted to see when I should come off the clomid.

ok, i'll drop clomid, and let it clear my system to see where my test levels are at before starting the cycle. thanks for advice. I've never used prop. i like the idea b/c i don't feel test E until week 5. I'd have to do a little research on dosage protocol for a prop kicker. Do have a recommendation for how I should use a prop kicker? i'm doing a test E at 500mg/wk for 12 weeks. What about front loading the Test E? I've read that to be another strategy to jump start your cycle.

Test prop is a great way to kick start your cycle. If you dont mind pinning then do 50mg ed or 100mg eod for 4 weeks and that will be perfect timing for the test e to kick in. I normally feel the prop within the 1st week. Get ready for some increased libido...lol
