Clomid Castration?

[randomweights]

I haven't ran any kind of cycle yet, but recently I competed in my first natural show. My natural hormone levels including test, SHBG, free test and estrogen were negatively affected from months of dieting.

A month after the comp, my libido still hadn't returned and my test levels were low. A friend suggested jump starting things with some clomid and nolvadex.

I bought and used some liquid-clomi, but have noticed that my libido and erections which were returning slightly fell completely flat and my balls shrunk to nothing within a week.

I thought that when using Clomid, the reverse was supposed to happen?? Can anyone explain what might be causing this effect? Thanks

No, I wanted to, but aren't able to get hold of any.

Your diet killed your sex drive?

If it is sustained level of low carbohydrates it will have a negative impact on your test levels, along with insufficient essential fats. Eat atleast maintenance level or maybe even a slight surplus of calories for a week and I bet it comes back

It's been almost 2 months since the end of the comp and I've been eating way over maintenance since then. It hasn't come back. I thought the clomid might help things along.

Clomid should increase testicle size and help increase t levels but that can also mean an increase in estro and a resulting negative feed back loop. Many guys need an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) while in post cycle therapy (pct) or using serms.

My guess is yes you diet messed up your hormone levels. Then you ran clomid which spiked t levels, caused a lot of estro conversion, and that estro suppressed you again. If you were starting to feel better, why did you add clomid? Most people need time, not drugs.

You can either wait it out, or get another blood test to see what's going on.

Thanks. What you said makes sense.

I took the clomid thinking that it would help things along a little faster. It's amazing how it reversed things if anything. My balls have practically disappeared. I'll take your advice and just give it more time.
