The result in men is a modest improvement in testosterone levels while preserving sperm production. We can usually achieve a 100% increase in T levels with Clomid. In some cases, one may see up to a 200% increase.

Testosterone testing is used to evaluate androgen excess or deficiency related to gonadal function, adrenal function, or tumor activity. Testosterone levels may be helpful in men for the diagnosis of hypogonadism, hypopituitarism, Klinefelter syndrome, and impotence (low values).
Low testosterone (male hypogonadism) is a condition in which the testes (testicles, the male reproductive glands) do not produce enough testosterone (a male sex hormone). In men, testosterone helps maintain and develop: Sexual features. Muscle mass.

Clomid for Men with Low Testosterone Part One by Jeffrey Dach MD
The Male of the species has this same estrogen receptor in the hypothalamus which controls LH and FSH production. Blocking this hypothalamic estrogen receptor can be accomplished with clomiphene, a drug FDA approved for use in women. Clomiphene use in males is “off label” use, however.
After our usual workup, and the obvious diagnosis of hyopogonadal hypogonadism, treatment was started with HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin), an LH analog which stimulates testicular testosterone production. The patient wished to retain fertility which contra-indicated the use of Testosterone preparations.
Clomiphene binds to and “blocks” the estrogen receptor sites in the hypothalamus . This stimulates the production of GnRH, gonadotropins. Conclusion: Clomiphene for men with low testosterone is a viable option for younger males who wish to maintain fertility. Use in males is “off-label”.
Clomiphene for men with low testosterone is a viable option for younger males who wish to maintain fertility.
However, upon conversion to estrogen, the increased estrogen level then shuts off the hypothalamic production of GnHR, which in turn may cause very low levels of LH and FSH, explaining the paradoxical low testosterone levels after HCG treatment in some.
Clomiphene binds to and “blocks” the estrogen receptor sites in the hypothalamus . This stimulates the production of GnRH, gonadotropins.
Here’s where Clomid comes into play: Clomid works by blocking estrogen at the pituitary and hypothalamus. So, with Clomid on board, the estrogen message to “stop stop stop” production of LH is silenced and the pituitary makes more LH, increasing the “go go go” to produce testosterone in the testes. When treating with traditional testosterone replacement therapy, the hypothalamus and pituitary are told there is plenty of testosterone being made in the testes and it doesn’t need to make any more. The pituitary stops producing LH and the natural production of testosterone (and sperm) in the testes also stops. Clomid does the opposite.
The downsides to Clomid therapy are that it is rarely covered by insurance as it is an “off label” use of the medication (however it is generic and very affordable). Also, the lower the testosterone level, the longer it may take to see the benefits of Clomid versus traditional testosterone therapy. Some men may not respond (often seen in men over the age of 70 and with multiple medical issues) and therefore may not be ideal candidates. Side effects are few and may include temporary/reversible vision changes.
Clomid for men is a good alternative to both short and long-term testosterone replacement therapy. Just like testosterone replacement therapy, Clomid must be prescribed and monitored by your doctor. To learn more about low testosterone diagnosis and treatment options, make an appointment at Austin Urology Institute at 512.694.888 with a provider to discuss symptoms and explore options.
Clomid is used (off label) to help increase men’s testosterone levels more “naturally.” While traditional testosterone replacement therapy produces good results, it has the downside of basically “turning off” the body’s memo to make testosterone because it’s artificially produced by the medication. This can result in testicular atrophy, fertility issues, acne, gynecomastia (breast enlargement), polycythemia (increased risk of blood clots) and can shut off the body’s natural system for producing testosterone. Additionally, if a man using testosterone replacement therapy discontinued their medication, their levels of testosterone would immediately drop and their body would have to restart making its own testosterone. The length of time it would take for the body to restart making its own testosterone and any subsequent symptoms is not definitive. The timeline is a guess and often dependent on how long testosterone replacement therapy has been in play. Clomid does not work this way.
Clomid for men stimulates the body’s own production of testosterone. Clomid is a pill taken daily. It is generic and cheap. No shots. It does not interfere with the body’s checks and balances of testosterone. Fertility is preserved. No testicular shrinkage. It has few, if any, side effects and this is usually dose-related. Clomid, by increasing T levels , can produce the same/similar effects as traditional TRT. Each patient is different and the response will vary depending on current testosterone level. It is inexpensive and usually covered by health insurance.
Most doctors think about Clomid as a “woman’s drug” and do not want to prescribe off-label. It is generic and inexpensive so there is little or no advertising.
It takes 90 to 108 days from the time that sperm is produced in the testicles until it is ejaculated. It takes time for a man to see fertility results from Clomid. As such, a man should not stop taking the medication unless there is no improvement by the fourth month of treatment.
We use physical exam and blood test results to determine if you are a possible candidate for Testosterone Replacement Therapy at Innovative Men’s Health clinic. TRT may help to improve your health and quality of life.

Clomid (clomiphene citrate) uses a different approach to increase testosterone and spermatogenesis. It was originally developed and tested to increase ovulation and, thereby, improve fertility in women. The result in men is a modest improvement in testosterone levels while preserving sperm production. We can usually achieve a 100% increase in T levels with Clomid. In some cases, one may see up to a 200% increase. This increase is not as high as pellets or injections but it can make a big difference depending on how low you are. So if you had an initial level of 300, we would hope to see an increase to 600, +/-. Some clients may even see a larger increase.
You may be wondering about testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) and fertility issues. We know that TRT may reduce sperm production and impact fertility. Very simply, the pituitary gland in the brain is the director of testicular function. If it sees a high testosterone level, it stops telling the testes to produce testosterone. This also affects sperm production. This also explains why testes shrink a bit on TRT. That is why we use Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) in our TRT programs to periodically stimulate the testes. It reminds the testes that they do have a job to do other than just making testosterone.

A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes. It means "not coded here". A type 1 excludes note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as E29.1. A type 1 excludes note is for used for when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.
