Cyp vs Clomid. Doc wants to switch me from shots to pills
Started at 280 and am at 588 from ED Cyp 100mg per week and 250iu HCG EOD frequency. Feel the benefits already even though I'm most likely still adjusting. LH and FSH are undetectable. E2 is at 30.5 so about 5% my total level.
Went to a urologist today hoping to get a script and save money. She wants me on Clomid 25mg daily, taking 5 days of the month off instead. She's talking monotherapy here citing concerns about shutting off my production, I'm not sure I care.
The pharmacy has to order it so I have to pin anyway until then. Question is do I go from pinning one day to clomid the next, do I taper my cyp dosage down as I start taking it? Or am I going to be bummed on clomid alone (or at all)? I see some guys run clomid instead of HCG and if insurance will pay for that it's worth considering.
My E2 being where it is despite a low SHBG and high free was great news and I'm reading clomid monotherapy can elevate E2 which would suck. Appreciate any feedback.
