Re: Anybody had luck with Clomid or Clomiphene for erectile dysfunction?

[Guest guest]

HI wayne

From what I understand clomiphene blocks your hypothalamus from

sensing the T level in your blood and keeps sending GNRH signals to

your pituitary and this in turn keeps a constant supply of LH and FSH

in your blood even though there may or may not be adequate T levels

in your blood.

I don't know why you are on this long term it is usually used as a

demand test to prove or disprove LH and fsh blood levels and T levels

and find out if you are primary hypo secondary hypo or tertiary hypo.

It is also used in cases when people have been on TRT for some time

and want to get their sperm count up when they are trying to get their

wives pregnant.

I know some people are taking this not knowing that this is not a good

long term therapy for getting T levels up.

Have you had your LH and FSh levels tested along with T levels before

you started this med and then afterward ?

There is a whole whack of other tests that need to be done too.

Phil usually refers everyone to www.allthingsmale.com to print out and

give to your doctor. it has most of the regular tests on there.

I am personally getting this clomiphene test administered soon because

my doctor believes that I have a problem in my hypothalamus that is

causing problems and this test will not work for me if he is right.

So he is using it as a tool to prove once and for all one way or the

other.

Hope this helps

Hi Wayne

May I ask how you feel whilst taking Clomiphene?

I took it for only 10 days but felt quite unwell on it - fortunately I was

having it as part of the

stimulation test. I am considering asking for a short term course again now

since some of

the benefits when combined with TRT at the time (1994) were encouraging - I just

felt unwell

and would not like to take it long-term whilst feeling that way.

May I ask if you are only taking Clomiphene to improve your Hypogonadism?

Best wishes,

Is it true that injections of GNRH will make the balls grow bigger? Is there

anything that can be done about that?

5 years ago, at age 42 was diagnosed witn ideopathic secondary hypo.

Since then tried all forms of TRT (HCG, patches etc), all gave me

horrible sideeffects due to T/E2 flactuations. 4 years ago started

Clomid, it took me awhile to find the right dose, (started on 25mf/day,

which kept my T in 1200 range), but now I am on 12.5mg/EOD for about 3

years already, works great for me, no side effects, all hormones in the

raNGE, feel good, keeps my T~400-500 (250 w/o Clomid), ED almost

nonexistant. You need to find an MD experienced in Clomid therapy,

cause most way overdose you. I highly recommend Dr. Hulinsky in CT, you

can find him in the list of doctors here. If you go to him, say Hi from

from California.

Thanks, Manraj. So far I've only had one blood test done, and I don't

have the results with me. I am seeing an endocrinologist in two days

and he will be able to tell me more.

Hi . That is very encouraging. It's great to hear that it works

with no side effects. To be honest, this testosterone gel scares me.

I do not want to take it solely because of the side effects.

I have been on clomiphene for about 3 weeks now. In another 2 weeks,

a girl I've been seeing for a while is coming home and due to special

circumstances, we'll have her apartment all to ourselves. I've had a

severe case of ED with her in the past (can't get it up about 70% of

the time, even with viagra, cialis, levitra). Is there a prayer in

hell that the clomiphene will help me by the time I am visiting her at

her apartment?

Just a note for those that talk about the problem of floaters in the

eyes from Clomiphene.

Floaters in the eyes can also be caused by Arimidex- I know because I

have got them.

Wayne,

I am on Clomid (38 years old) and have been for a bit. I have found

that with Clomid, everything comes back slowly including libido and

erections. First, muscle, then, clarity, then evening/morning

erections, then libido/spont. erections. It was very gradual with me

over a few months. However, given that my system has been messed up

my entire life, I am not shocked that it takes time to respond.

It is the only thing that works for me (tried shots, gel, patches and

compounded) and I have not experienced any side effects, not one. My

levels are incredible in LH, FSH and T (with good SBGH and E2). I

have been very pleased - currently on 75mgs. every other day.

Blessings to you and be under the care of a good doctor!

Bill

How bad are these floaters? Do they go away when you stop taking the

drug?
