With 50mg Clom nearly every day, my testosterone hovers at or just above the top end of the normal range. The good thing about Clom is it tricks the pituitary into producing and releasing more LH, which directs the testes to produce more testosterone. The shriveled up testes become bigger and more vibrant. Keep in mind, that the male body produces estrodial by converting some of the testosterone to estrodial. After several months on Clom, I saw that my Estrodial numbers had climbed significantly. To be clear, it's not simply the testosterone levels that need to be high, but rather the free-testosterone levels. So prevent my body from converting my treasured T to E, I took what's called an anti-aromatose med, Letrozole 2.5mg to be exact. Unfortuneately no endo was willing to guide me on this, so I simply forged a prescription, and started taking the Letrozole. However, the next time I tested, my E was so low, that it didn't even register at all. So I kept reducing the dosage until I found that 1.25mg to 2.5mg per MONTH was sufficient to keep my E in check where it needs to be. Be aware, that proper amounts of E are essential for many bodily functions, and for a short time I had mine dangerously low.
I'm 58 years old, working out about six hours per week, only lifting heavy once or twice a week. Recently I deadlifted 220kg, squated 160kg X3, and benched 110kgX2. Like most guys my age I've been through all sorts of physical injuries, the most recent being hit by a bus in 2017, which has helped me become a bit nuttier that I was previously.
Don't be like me doing this on my own; get the meds from a qualified doctor. I'm a do-it-myself guy to an extreme; I've been giving myself haircuts for thirty years. I built my own home. I just did my own plumbing job and was splattered in ten year aged shit. Don't be like me.
