I know that 3 weeks is too short. I was planning to take it for 3 months. Maybe I have more side effects because I take 25 mg a day. You take only the half. I felt sick, had hot flushes, dry fingers, dry skin, dry mouth and lower backpain. But I also have a prostate infection and candida. So I couldn???€š€ž?t have the Clomid side effects too. That was too much.
So you say because you are still on Clomid even when you stop with Androgel your body still can produce testosterone?
yes cuz clomid stimulates HPA axis and your testies will produce testo anyway even if you get exo test
having prostate is prohibited to take clomid or any other testo substances
well i hope you will eliminate your infections first and then you will be able to treat yourself properly with testo cures
wish you be cured soon
p.s. if i were you i would check my thyroid also - some symptoms may be from hypothyroid
Thanks.
I have prostatitis. So that problem is almost always there.
I did a bloodtest for thyroid. It was a bit low but still in the range. It was before I knew I had POIS. My docto even gave me levothyroxine for a few weeks, but it didn??‚??„?t help me.
a bit low - it doesnt tell me anything - common reference numbers are usually too wide and actual "good/proper" values are very narrow
show us your thyroid numbers if you will
or just read this http://www.peaktestosterone.com/Testosterone_Thyroid.aspx
and decide yourself if your thyroid needs a correction
TSH: 2.7. RR: 0.55-4.8
Free T4: 11 (in 2011). RR: 10-19

I asked my doctor if my thyroid can be checked. Because the previous blood test was in 2009. Alomost 10 years ago. And back then my Free T4 was low but in the range. My TSH was a bit high. In The Netherlands it is ok if TSH is below 4.0. I read that in the US it is 3.0. And in The Netherlands they say that people who feel healthy TSH is below 2.0. Maybe my TSH now is above 3.0. And my Free T4 is below 10. I will see my doctor about a month. After that I will let my blood checked. Because I have a lot of symptoms of a slow thyroid. One of them is that I always feel very cold in the morning. Even in the summer. And I have cold hands and cold feet. I thought because of UTI, but maybe it is because of the thyroid. And I also have dry skin. Even without POIS. And I have a few other symptoms.
My TSH was 2.7 this year. My FT4 was not checked. I found a blood test from 2011, back then my TSH was 6.6! My FT4 was 10. Just in range. Maybe that?€™s why my doctor did not alarm me. I was a few weeks on Thyrax. Back then I didn?€™t knew what POIS. Thyrax did not help me against POIS and thought I had a lot of side effects. But maybe it was POIS. Now i have seen that my TSH was so high I am going to make an earlier appointment with my doctor.
i'm not a pro doctor but i know something
glad we found some and you will fix it soon, i hope, cuz you have most of the hypothyroid symptoms
some update from me
yesterday i applied full pack of androgel as i always do
and whole day i was feeling myself as a superman!
that was awesome! BUT!!! it also gave me ADHD and it was very difficult to concentrate on work tasks
so since today i will lower my androgel dosage down to 50%
i'm still on clomid 25mg/ed and cabergoline 12.5mg/each week
so i guess my endotesto is slowly growing and androgel gives me just too much of testo although i like the feeling
and i still have less intensive orgasms feelings and not so high libido although i have very strong boner - i guess testo aromatises a lot and i get big quantity of estrogen - in this case i have anastrosol - but first is first i will do my bloodtests first probably in one week to see how much exactly i have estrogen(E2)
and again about pois - no f..cking pois at all !!! i won ! god! i'm so glad !
