Does Clomid raise E2

[Spideog]

Getting slightly itchy nips on Clomid. I thought SERMs were meant to fix gyno?

Yeah Clomid can definitely raise e2.

If you want to block gyno you need tamox or raloxifene to specifically target e2 receptors in the breast. Estrogen would still be high but it would block gyno from forming.

Is this due to increasing activity in the testicles? I already have gyno on the right nip I don’t really care about it but if it starts growing on the left than we have a serious problem. If it’s one side it doesn’t look that bad but if it’s on both sides we have a serious problem.

Are you using it for PCT?

If so, yeah, it's sort of from increasing activity in the testicles. Clomid gets the body to start making test again by blocking e2 receptors in the brain. It then starts releasing hormones (GnRH and down that cascade) to eventually get more testosterone, which is aromatized to the estrogen the brain thinks it needs.

If you're using it during PCT you're test/estrogen ratio may be out of whack, potentially causing gyno. Bloodwork is the only way to know for sure but this is why most people say to keep using your AI into PCT if you used one on cycle.

There's no way to know which side or sides gyno might happen on or exactly how long you're body will need to normalize the test/estrogen ratio on its own.

Is there any added benefit from running 100mg of Clomid for the first two weeks or is it better just use 50mg and to run it for longer. I’m curious because I read up on the power pct protocol because I’ve been BnC for the past 2 years. Been off for almost 2 months now but I held off from using Clomid due to the side effects people state.

did you do any reading on utilizing tamoxifen with this?

either way, you should be near a reboot.

any blood work?

Tried it before never again. Brain fog and a depression after a week of use.

Not yet, waiting until after 6 weeks of pct.
