Was on TRT for three years 100mg e6d. No blasting. And giving clomid a whack to see if it works.
Anyways on clomid 25mg e0d. Seems conservative. But I don't mind that.
One thing that worries me though is he has me on letrozole 2.5mg ed seems like a lot anythoughts.

I did do hcg once during trt to get wife pregnant. I thought the letro was a little much every day. Ive read in a lot of places an AI is needed in a restart, just not sure that much. maybe one pill a week, twice a week. cut it in half etc. Im going to have to start with 25mg of clomid eod for now and see how it goes.
SERMs don't close the feedback loop in the same manner as endogenous production, and I really don't think taking an AI will be of any real benefit to you. SERMs prevent the hypothalamus from seeing estradiol, which triggers the release of gnrh, and subsequently LH from the pituitary. AI monotherapy works when the HPTA can see estradiol present, but in too small of an amount for allostasis - triggering more gnrh and LH.
If the HPTA can't see the estradiol, it can't really react to it. The ONLY reason I can see a benefit from AI use at this time is if you're very sensitive to estradiol, and need to manage the free-flowing conversion due to aromatase.
Is this restart for a permanent attempt, or to have another child? If the latter, there are some very good studies showing that HCG in combination with TRT does result in fertility being restored dramatically.
Thanks halfwit. Right now its for a permanent restart. I did use HCG with TRT to get wife pregnant two years ago, worked great, about triples my sperm count.
As E. I never had bad gyno but I think I had mild to acute problems with it. With acne, feeling tired, cloudy and just out of it. My estradiol numbers were always 48-53 pg/ml with ref range of 7.6-42.6 So I have always thought there was a need for an AI. Every time I took the shot say day 2 through about day 4, I kind of felt like crap, than day 5 and 6 before the new shot I felt better.
Really my goal here to get off Trt forever with a successful restart. The docs and such around here Im not going to be able to ask and demand for a grocery cart of items.

Correct, that is a RIDICULOUS dose. That would destroy your e2 even if you were running a gram of test per week. I would suggest dropping it altogether.. AI's don't really belong in SERM restarts anyhow. Certainly not letro either - it's far too difficult to dial in the correct dose.
If anything, up your clomid to 25mg/day. Or Clomid 50mg/day + 20mg Nolva/day would be optimal. You're really going to need a proper protocol if you want a fighting chance at recovery.
Did you use hCG at all during your TRT regime?
your wasting your time without HCG.....also having an extremely low T is not good for you health wise, you could be causing damage to cardiovascular system. Had you had your cholesterol or c reactive protein tested lately?
hes not wasting his time, but i do agree using HCG then doing the clomid would likely be much more effective.
good luck OP
if you have to use the letro try splitting it into atleast 4 parts. and if you can make it 8 parts. its hard with letro so thats why i like rui letro since its liquid its easy to dose. letro pills are soo friggen small (atleast all the ones iv seen) its hard to split it into 4 let alone 8 parts.
