It is not approved by FDA but can still be used and give results.
You may need 90-100 days to see results.

Sorry for my reservations, just worried because this doctor didn’t weigh me, so Im not sure how he knew the measurements of pills to give me. Nor did he suggest the pills initially and I’m concerned that maybe everything wasn’t done. Just don’t want to make the atrophy even worse or start something that I’m committed to for life if i could have changed it naturally
Brief Answer:
It will make atrophy better.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and thank you for asking again.
Just trust your doctor.
There is no need to get measured before starting Clomid because adults have standard dosages.
The Clomid works by suppression estrogen interaction with the pituitary gland causing an increase in LH, FSH, and testosterone levels.
It will make atrophy better so be sure about using it.
