Currently, I'm into a 4th day of 25 mg a day, and the testosterone level has increased to 634 ng/dL, which is 33 ng/dL higher than it was before. 601 ng/dL was the highest level I ever measured throughout multiple tests.
The medication started working faster than I thought. A clomid steady state level will be achieved in 2 to 3 days, and the testornerone steady state level will be achieved in about 25 days.
I'm excited, but I'm still trying to hold realistic expectations, because I don't want to get disappointed and demoralized when I do another testosterone level test in 25 days from now.
I think clomid will increase the T level to about 750-800 ng/dL, but it won't be able to make it to 1,000 ng/dL or more. I think I'm gonna need enclomiphene for this.
But I don't know what to do now. Should I start getting 6,25, 25 or 50 mg enclomiphene per day, which are supposed to be significantly more potent doses than the same doses but these of clomid?
I saw that in some cases, 400 mg a day (clomid) is used and it has brutal effects on testosterone, but I don't want to risk with side effects, assuming such a dose would cause any.
I'm not getting any side effects at 25 mg a day at all, so I think it's totally safe to go on 50 mg a day. And if I don't get any side effects on 50 mg, should I, then, go on 100 mg, then 200, then 400, spending some time on each dose to see if any side effects will appear before I increase the dose?
And a question about proviron.
If increasing the T level to more than 1,000 ng/dL still doesn't give me the needed free T levels, should I use proviron to block SHBG and get more free testosterone?
Proviron is an androgen, but it just suppresses natural testosterone production a little bit, and doesn't completely shut it down. 500-600 ng/dL is my base line testosterone level. If I take proviron at this level, it may cause low testosterone. But if I take it at 800-1,000 ng/dL, for example, the T level will be reduced to about 600 ng/dL, I assume, and I won't get low T, right? Did I understand it correctly?
So, what do you think?
