need help with clomid results; 12.5 mg eod

[cigpk]

Here are my lab results on 12.5 mg clomid EOD for 2 months and nothing else except a multivitamin, vit D, etc.

Total T: 726 (264-916)
Free T: 11 (9.3-26.5) - low
E2 sensitive: 14.7 (8-35) - low
SHGB: 89.3 (16.5-55.9) - high
DHEA sulfate: 350 (138.5-475.2)
TSH: 2.86 (0.45-4.5) - high
T3: 2.6 (2-4.4)

I’m worried about the TSH, SHGB and E2… I have bad joint pain/tendonitis, low energy and bad sleep… What can I do to lower TSH and SHGB? And why is my e2 so damn low? It was 17.8 when i was on 25 mg EOD + arimidex, then i dropped the arimidex and just take 12.5 clomid and it still dropped…

I am 27 - was on injections for two years after a lot of drug abuse, unhealthy lifestyle, T went from 149 to over 1300. Came off injections and onto clomid 25 mg eod for 3 months and now I have been on 12.5 mg EOD for a couple of months.

Are you a type 1 diabetic or eating keto? Low insulin levels increase SHBG and high insulin lowers SHBG.

It would appear Clomid raises SHBG in a lot of folks.

Doc is taking me off Clomid to see how well I do without any hrt.

The hope is that since I’m no longer abusing heroin and oxy (like I was prior to getting on test injections 3 years ago) and that I was able to maintain good levels on low dose Clomid, maybe my lifestyle changes will support healthier test levels.

I was on 12.5 Clomid eod and I’m discontonuing immediately without any further taper.

Any recommendations on how to support myself coming off the Clomid?

By the way, current supplements are as follows:
RAW ONE multi for men
5000 iu Vit D + K2 eod
Fish oil
Vit b complex
Magnesium (not in multi)
Iodine (not in multi)

 

[John Smeton]

what were your levels before ?

Free test could use improvement, good total test levels.

Have you tried coming off everything to see where they are without any drugs?

 

[cigpk]

On injections: total t was about 1300
On 25 mg Clomid eod (2-3 months after quitting test): 630 then 686 about a month later
On 12.5 me Clomid eod: 726

I’m taking multi, Vit D, b complex
3mg boron but prob quitting.

Gonna get re tested in about a month but I feel better off the Clomid as of now but it’s onlybeen two weeks

Shbg goes up inflammation as I see if often in cases.
89 is not from the clomid, it’s from another pathology.

 

[cigpk]

My SHGB was normal on injections. 40 mg 2x per week my SHBG was low.

Clomid was the only thing I changed and it rose to 89. What kind of pathology causes it to raise that high?
