I hate Clomid for several reasons, the worst being that it kills my libido. Yeah, I know, I know, some people say it helps libido, but I have to wonder about that. Sometimes a surge in estrogen can help libido -- that doesn't mean I want more of it.
I also can not understand how anyone thinks it helps in recovery and normalization of the HPTA. It really doesn't. There are a lot of factors involved in recovery, or non-recovery.
Sweetleaf: If you aren't adverse to Clomid, use a lower dosage along with the PC. It can only help. But I still say, if you're super prone to high e, then use the PC along with a little proviron and/or A-dex. It's a much better choice.
