A member asked:

When i use clomid, (clomiphene) does my estrogen level decrease?i am a boy.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Why are you: taking clomid (clomiphene)? Has it been prescribed by a doctor? It is used to stimulate pituitary hormones that will induce ovulation in females. In males, there is some use to increase testosterone secretion, but that should only be attempted under the direction of an endocrinologist.

Dr Klauber and another doctor agreed
