I never really fully bounced back from steroid use. My test levels were in "normal" ranges, but always towards the lower end. Endocrinologist believed me to be normal and I just had a perceived feeling of low test because I was so used to feeling awesome on cycle.
Anyway, after a long time of feeling like crap, I decided to get some clomid. I've been running 60mg/day for 5 weeks and jeez I feel bloody great. Not "on cycle awesome", but noticeably better in every way. I didn't run bloods before, but have just done some and interesting results.
Testosterone: 29.4 nmol/L
Free Test: 606 pmol/L
SHBG: 42 nmol/L
Oestradiol: 167 pmol/L
FSH: 4 IU/L
LH: 5 IU/L
Progesterone: 2 nmol/L
Prolactin: 98 mIU/L
So test levels have gone bananas! I usually sit around 10-14. But also so has Oestradiol. I'm not sure on the next steps.
Run clomid for a few more months? Taper off? Use long term?
Should Oestradiol be a concern, and if so, should I get something to reduce it? No signs of gyno, yet, but these levels are concerning.
I want to stay natural for the foreseeable future, but would also prefer to keep more elevated test levels, I feel the best I have in years!
Thank you for your help!!!
