Guest guest Posted June 7, 2004 Report Share Posted June 7, 2004 Probably 13 years. I had a severe unknown infection that I picked up in southeast asia in 1991 with the military and have never felt right since. But I wasn't tested for it until the fall of 2002.

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2004 Report Share Posted June 7, 2004 Hi , I've read so much conflicting information on which is better at restoring the HPTA, clomiphene or tamoxifen. And at this point I really don't know but most doctors do prescribe clomid or tamoxifen. I just wish there was a definate answer on getting our lives back after using finasteride... I know Phil has mentioned HGH on restoring T levels several times, but doctor's aren't too willing atleast the one's I've seen. > > You can try it, if your LH and FSH go up it rules out the > Pituitary, > > my T was 190 befor Clomid, 1,000 after 4 weeks on Clomid and around > > 700 3 weeks off Clomid > > > > > > > Is clomid appropriate to try for me?

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2004 Report Share Posted June 7, 2004 If Clomid is an anti-estrogen, how would it help in my case where I have low everything (low T, low estradiol, low LH, low FSH)?

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2004 Report Share Posted June 7, 2004 Hi Mark, From my understanding Clomid blocks the estrogen receptors in the brain area where the pituitary checks for the feedback loop, when it blocks the estrogen receptors, the pituitary thinks it'll need to send more LH down to the testicles to produce T. I think in your case, you should start with HCG to kick start the system then go on Clomid. Mfb has success and experience with this, he'll be able to provide a better answer.
