Questions about Clomid and Arimidex

[Dadto3]

Hello. I am new here. Tested for low T back in January. Total T was 297. Endo put me on Clomid 50 mg MWF. Retest in April, I requested Estradiol but he ordered total Estrogen. Total Testosterone came back at 758, Free T at 167.5 pg/mL and total Estrogen at 266. I can't find a conversion factor anywhere to find out what portion of that Estrogen would be Estradiol. A week ago he gave me a script for Arimidex and said to take 1 mg every day. I have been doing that for a week. No morning wood yet, but wasn't before either. No desire, week erections, etc. My question is, is that Arimidex dosage too much even if I haven't had any erections yet? Can you actually skip the sweet spot all together? The higher T has me feeling better everywhere but in the bedroom.

Try a half pill eod and see if that help. 1mg every day might be to high of a dose.

OMG...yes that dose is very high. I've been on TRT for a while and I take .25 mgs twice a week. I take on Wednesday and Saturday. I would do this. Stop the arimidex for at least a week, then start taking .25 mgs twice a week. Your E2 has probably bottomed out depending on how long you've been taking 1 mg a day.

Agreed, when E2 is low, depending on the person - you will feel improvements in multiple other areas (mainly with vascularity and leaning)...but libido can also go down . Obviously genetics and sensitivity are important factors..but for most people 1mg of adex is too much. Heck, I wouldn't even go above 0.5mg in the case of running certain compounds.

Seems like clomid is popping up more and more as trt treatment. You been on 50mg mwf since january? Any mood swings, emotional issues, estro signs at all?
