About 5 months ago I used 8mg of exemestane (Xtane brand) daily for a bit more than three weeks. I had a varicocele, and wanted to try exemestane to help with male fertility issues.
Exemestane was clearly effective at raising total testosterone: from 400 to 756 in 3 weeks. However, it double my prolactin, almost doubled my LH to 11, and also increased by FSH a little (it was already high).
My prolactin, LH, and FSH have stayed high since my Exemestane experiment, and my total testosterone went back to previous low levels:
Prolactin: 17
LH: 11
FSH: 11.8
Total testosterone: 300
I've been thinking about giving exemestane another try since my varicocele was surgically repaired. I'm scared of trying exemestane again because my LH, FSH, and prolactin being high already is already a problem for my sperm production. I fear that despite an increase in testosterone, a further increase in LH/FSH/Prolactin could make things worse.
Anyone with Exemestane experience has any thoughts?
Much appreciated.
